On Saturday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he had offered the White House press secretary job to UFC CEO Dana White, calling him 'the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior,' according to ESPN.

Trump urged White to accept the role, writing 'Dana, please take the job!' and proposed that White bring current and former UFC fighters — naming Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes — along as assistants.

Fox News reports that White addressed the offer Saturday night after a Zuffa Boxing event in London, saying he planned to fly to Washington following the news conference: 'I got a lot of jobs already. We have a meeting on Monday, so I'm sure we'll have more to talk about after that.'

The job has been vacant since October, when Katie Zacharia left after just five days, following Karoline Leavitt's August departure to spend more time with family, as both ESPN and Yahoo Sports note.

Fox News reports White fueled the speculation by sharing an Instagram image of himself behind the White House briefing room podium captioned 'On to the next chapter,' while White House communications director Steven Cheung reposted Trump's message with 'Hell yeah! Do it, @DanaWhite!'

Notably, ESPN reports that CNN, citing a source familiar with the matter, said White was not taking the job — even as White himself declined to say whether he had accepted or rejected it.

The relationship the offer rests on is well documented across all three outlets.

White spoke at the Republican National Conventions in 2016, 2020 and 2024, and in June the UFC staged its 'Freedom 250' event on the White House South Lawn — built under 'The Claw,' a spaceship-like metal arch with lights, sound and large screens — to mark America's 250th anniversary and Trump's 80th birthday, ESPN reports.

Trump has also credited White, per Fox News, with introducing him to younger online personalities who helped him reach audiences outside traditional political media.

The overture lands at a moment of real political pressure. Both Fox News and ESPN report that Trump announced Friday that Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, following Tuesday's midterm elections in which Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress.

Fox News adds that Democratic lawmakers have pledged investigations into the administration, including its immigration enforcement policies, with Rep.

Robert Garcia identifying Miller's role as a focus of prospective House Oversight work — context that makes the choice of chief spokesperson consequential.

Yahoo Sports frames the open question simply: White 'certainly didn't shut down the possibility,' despite CNN's reporting to the contrary that ESPN cites.

The immediate next step is set: White told reporters in London that a meeting with Trump is scheduled for Monday, and both ESPN and Yahoo Sports report he was flying to Washington, D.C. right away.

Neither outlet reports that White has accepted, and Fox News notes he joked that he already has 'a lot of jobs' — he runs the UFC, Zuffa Boxing and Power Slap, as Yahoo Sports observes.

Whether the fight promoter ends up behind the briefing room podium, or the Instagram teaser proves to be promotional theater, should become clearer after that meeting.
