White has been one of Trump's most outspoken supporters for years.
Their relationship dates back to 2001, when the first UFC event under White's leadership took place at Trump's Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
White also spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2016 despite receiving warnings from people in his inner circle.
"Everybody said, 'Don't do it. Don't do it,'" White told TIME earlier this year. "It was about more than 'You don't want to get into politics.' The bigger one was 'He's never gonna win.' And I was like, 'Well, whether he wins or not, the guy's been a good friend to me'."
