UFC president Dana White says experience at press dinner shooting was ‘awesome’

• UFC president says events were ‘pretty crazy’

• Man in custody after chaotic scenes in Washington DC

While many of those present during the shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner were shocked by Saturday night’s events, UFC CEO Dana White seemed to rather enjoy himself.

White, a long-time ally of Donald Trump, was sitting near the front of the ballroom hosting the dinner when the event was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Rather than trying to find a safe place to hide during the chaos, White was enthused by the scene.
