U.S. President Donald Trump offered the position of press secretary this Saturday to tycoon Dana White, who runs the UFC, the world's leading mixed martial arts organization.
The White House press secretary position has been vacant since the October 16 departure of the previous spokesperson, Katie Zacharia, who held the post for just one week.
"It is my pleasure to announce that I have offered the Great Dana White, a fierce Fighter and Warrior, the job of United States Press Secretary," wrote Trump.

Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social network four days after the Republican defeat in the midterm elections.
"We need these people to defend us from the radical left," he added.
The president specified that White had not yet responded to the proposal. "Dana, please take the job," he said.
In June, Trump celebrated his 80th birthday by hosting a mixed martial arts tournament organized by the UFC at the White House.
