UFC CEO Dana White did not take his seat Saturday night at UFC Vegas 116 because of a trip to Washington, D.C., with Paramount+ and Skydance executives to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner. What was supposed to be a festive evening quickly turned disastrous when an active threat canceled the event Saturday night as guests were eating dinner. According to NBC News , 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen is being identified as the suspect in question who caused the disturbance. As for White, who has known President Donald Trump for the better part of 30 years, he immediately reacted to the series of events in an exclusive to USA TODAY, which was later posted to MMAJunkie.
