Dana White Proves He’s American Badass With ‘F*cking Awesome’ Response To White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting

If every man were like Dana White, America would have zero problems.

At this point, we’ve seen a load of reactions to the stunning shooting that took place at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, however, I’m willing to say that the one from UFC president and CEO Dana White is by far the best.

As you guys know, White is close friends with President Donald Trump and received an invitation to attend the event. White also took part in a red carpet interview and spoke about UFC Freedom 250 that is scheduled for June 14 at the White House.

Things went sideways later in the night when a security checkpoint was stormed by a gunman, resulting in a Secret Service agent being shot. Fortunately, the agent is anticipated to be fine.

At the time of writing, no reports of any attendees being injured have surfaced. With guests hiding under tables, President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other officials from the Trump administration were removed from the room.

With over 2,000 people in attendance in the ballroom, where the dinner was happening, a lot of people were understandably left a bit shaken up following the shooting. But Dana White, well, he’s just a different breed.

While guests were exiting the Washington Hilton ballroom, White took some time to speak with the media while he was headed out the door regarding his experience amid the chaos.

“It started getting noisy, tables started flipping over, guys running in with guns, and they were screaming ‘Get down,’” said White. “I didn’t get down. It was f*cking awesome. I literally took every minute of it in, and it was a pretty crazy, unique experience.”

White stated that his seat was in front of the table where the Trumps, Vance, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, members of the White House Correspondents’ Association, among others were sitting

“Guys came in looking for shooters,” continued White. “They came toward our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something.”
