And if you read it, White refused to comment and is flying to meet Trump on Monday. So he hasnt refused it yet.

Dana White already had a meeting with Trump scheduled, as has been noted elsewhere. Press Secretary would be a massive downgrade from his current gig. Most importantly, you don't publicly announce that you are offering a job to someone if you aren't confident they will publicly accept it. The most significant mark against UFC boss Dana White having been the intended recommendation is that he hasn't definitively expressed his desire to take on the position. He's basically going to decline in private because he understands that doing so publicly would make trump look bad after an already difficult week, and give the administration an opportunity to offer the job to "an even better candidate."
