And Trump has attended numerous UFC events over the years, establishing a strong relationship with White – who is thought to be worth $500million.
White was seen coming onto the stage with the rest of Trump’s team as the president-elect prepared to talk to the Florida crowd.
He was then given the opportunity to talk as he stepped up to the microphone.
White said: “Nobody deserves this more than him and nobody deserves this more than his family does.
“This is what happens when the machine comes after you. What you’ve seen over the last several years – this is what it looks like.
“Couldn’t stop him. He keeps going forward. He doesn’t quit. He’s the most resilient, hardworking man I’ve ever met in my life.”
Prior to getting up on stage, Trump was seen talking to White as they sat on a table surrounded by jubilant political figures.

And White was not the only sports-related figure on the stage.
Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time US Open champion, was ushered up in front of the crowd by Trump.
But it was White’s appearance that left those on social media utterly dumbfounded.
One person said: “Dana White so thirsty lol.”
Another added: “Are you honestly saying Dana White is running the country .”
A third replied: “I’m crying why is Dana White there.”
While a fourth responded: “Why is Dana White on stage?”
And a fifth simply said: “What is reality .”
