President Donald Trump was joined in an impromptu White House press briefing by UFC CEO Dana White to clear the air on whether White will become Trump’s new press secretary.
White is a close friend of Trump and has endorsed him for president, but has never held a government position.
The president told the Ultimate Fighting Championship boss to "please take the job" in a Truth Social post on Saturday.
In a social media post over the weekend, the president asked the UFC boss to take over the role, but later said he was "having a little fun".
