UFC CEO and President Dana White made a point of arriving at the RNC in Milwaukee on time, as he introduced former U.S. President Donald Trump at the event.
The 54-year-old, a well-known supporter of the “Make America Great Again” movement, was on vacation before leaving for Wisconsin on Thursday, traveling by boat, helicopter and private jet.
According to Sports Business insider, the 377ft yacht costs $2.8 million for the week Joe Pompliano on X.
Less than 48 hours after leaving the ship, White returned to the cruiser, as shown in footage he posted to his Instagram Story on Saturday.
“I’m BACK!!!” White captioned the clip. “@realdonaldtrump Honored my friend.”

The 54-year-old praised Trump in his intro before the former US president took the stage on Thursday.
At the RNC, White said Trump is “the strongest, most resilient person I’ve ever met in my life,” during his introduction of the 78-year-old.
Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan also described the former president as “an American hero.”
Hogan, 70, drew loud reactions when he took off his shirt on the main stage and revealed a red “MAGA” shirt.
“As an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics,” Hogan said, stepping out of character for a moment. “I can’t stay silent any longer.”
Earlier this week, White criticized the failed assassination attempt on Trump in an interview with ESPN’s Pat McAfee.

He said, ‘Everybody wants to act like a tough guy, but when push comes to shove, you find out who the tough guys are and who the tough guys aren’t.’
“This man is the legitimate, ultimate American badass of all time,” he then said of Trump, more or less repeating the same words at the RNC in Milwaukee.
But White, aside from his love for Trump, stressed that the shooting was a dark day for all Americans, conservatives and liberals alike.
“This is the former president and a candidate,” White noted.
“Imagine if someone took a shot at Biden or Obama or Clinton. It’s like this is our president. If it happened to anyone, any of our presidents, every American on the planet would be shocked and disgusted and upset and angry.”
