Abstract: UFC's Dana White is in Sydney, to appear with NSW Premier Chris Minns at a press conference. This visit precedes a major UFC event this Sunday. Minns campaigned to bring three UFC events to Sydney.

It is reported that UFC President Dana White is about to arrive in Australia and will make a public appearance with a political leader of the country in the coming days. 2GB radio's Ben Fordham broke the news this morning, stating that White is on his way to Sydney, and may have even already arrived.

It is understood that White will also attend a press conference with the Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, in the next few days. White's visit comes ahead of a major UFC Fight Night event at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park this Sunday.

Minns pledged during his campaign to bring three UFC events to Sydney. The first event took place in September 2023, with tickets selling out in 13 minutes, and over half being purchased by overseas buyers. White also has some political influence in the United States, being a friend and supporter of US President Donald Trump.
