UFC CEO Dana White spoke about the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk during an interview on Fox News’ “Special Report” on Friday.
White, a supporter of President Donald Trump, said it was “hard to wrap your brain around” the incident.
“Things started to feel better and get normal again, and then that happened, and it’s almost like, you know, it’s all starting over again,” White said. “Not just my daughter, a lot of kids were impacted by this, kids who loved and respected Charlie, and it’s just, it’s just hard to wrap your brain around when something like this happens.”
White said he’s looking for “unity” and “normalcy” following the assassination.
“All I’m looking for over the rest of this year and into next year is some unity, coming back together as a country and stop all the in-fighting and the finger-pointing, and just some normalcy again. Let this country get back to normal.”

White shared his initial reaction to the news during a recent appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast.
“I just woke up, and my phone was blowing up. I was f—ing blown away,” White said.
He said his children also took it hard.
“I was actually surprised by how impacted my kids were. My kids used to watch him on social media. My daughter, she’s 19, she’s in college, and she’s been just destroyed over this thing for the last couple days. You have to feel horrible for his family. It’s f—ing crazy,” White said.
