Fans demand Dana White get key role after victory speech appearance

Dana White shocked the crowd by delivering a speech after basically commandeering the microphone during Donald Trump's victory speech. 

While Trump invited the UFC boss to the stage to speak, many criticized the way he went about - although some called on the UFC boss to become the new combative White House press secretary.

White, 55, a long time friend and ally of Donald Trump, delivered a high-energy speech on Tuesday night as he joined family on stage to celebrate. 

'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,' White said, in reference to the hostile coverage Trump's campaign has received from the mainstream media and Democrats. 

He also took the opportunity to call out several YouTubers and podcast stars. 

'I want to thank some people real quick. I want to thank the Nelk Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin' With The Boys, and last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan.' 

Some critics slated White's speech as inappropriate for such a historic moment, but others commented the fight mogul worth $500 milllion would be perfect in a senior role in the new Trump administration. 

White was welcomed to the stage on Tuesday to a raucous reception. 

'Nobody deserves this more than him,' White opened, pointing at Trump. '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 moving forward. He doesn't quit, he's the most resilient and hardworking man I've ever met in my life, his family are incredible people, this is karma ladies and gentlemen he deserves this. They deserve it as a family.' 

White then turned his speech towards several YouTubers and social media influencers who supported Trump during his run, a move that drew backlash from some online. 

'Dana White shouted out Adin Ross and the Nelk Boys on Trump's presidential victory speech, we are so over as a nation,' one pundit said on X. 

Another said: 'If you ever needed a single frame to explain the mess that is America... Dana White is on stage.'  

It came after Trump declared victory in the early hours of Wednesday morning as he cemented an extraordinary political comeback. 

'We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible,' he said. 'And it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing.' 

Trump was joined on stage by family - including daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner who had been absent from the campaign - aides and political supporters.

He thanked his supporters and promised a golden age for the nation.

When he invited is running mate to the microphone, Sen. J.D. Vance said the result marked a remarkable turnaround in political fortunes.

'I thank you for the trust that you placed in me,' he said, 'and I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.'
