When is Dana White's RNC speech? UFC CEO listed in final time slot before Donald Trump

UFC CEO Dana White will speak Thursday during the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, themed around former President Donald Trump's longtime slogan: " Make America Great Once Again ."

White is scheduled to speak Thursday between 8-9 p.m. CT, according to a source familiar with the event, which is the final time slot before Trump is expected to take the stage at 9 p.m. CT to give a speech and formally accept the Republican nomination for president.

Also scheduled to speak between 8-9 p.m. CT are Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and Donald Trump's son, Eric.

White and Trump have forged a strong relationship over the years, even after Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts by a New York jury earlier this year. Just days after his conviction, Trump was a special guest to UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey on June 1.
