Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company’s new streaming home.

"The addition of UFC's year-round must-watch events to our platforms is a major win," said Paramount CEO David Ellison, former CEO of Skydance, calling the mixed martial arts franchise a "global sports powerhouse".

Chandler, a former Bellator champion now fighting in the UFC lightweight division, believes the UFC-Paramount deal is good news for fighter pay, and is confident the promotion will take care of its champions. He calls for patience as more details on the new UFC broadcasting deal emerge.
