UFC CEO Dana White's star is rising. He is a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump and Meta has announced he would join its board of directors.

As of now, UFC 311 is still being overseen by the California State Athletic Commission. CSAC boss Andy Foster released a statement to Petesy Carroll of the Uncrowned network, in which he insisted that he and his staff were monitoring the potential spread of the wildfires closely. It read:

White and President-elect Trump's friendship has spanned decades, and the UFC CEO's efforts to elect Trump were key in the 2024 race.

Meta has appointed three new members to its board of directors. The new members include Dana White, the president and CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship and a key figure in the orbit of incoming President Donald Trump.

The plans for UFC 311 could be under threat after its agreed-upon venue, the Intuit Dome in California, could be deemed unsafe after wildfires have stormed the city of Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.
