No, Steven Seagal does not lead the UFC; the UFC is led by figures like Dana White (President) and owned by Endeavor, while Seagal is an actor and martial artist known for Aikido, but holds no official role in the organization.

Seagal is a batshit asshole who doesn't know evil leaders from good leaders, but sucks up to where power is. He's publicly called Putin "one of the greatest world leaders, if not the greatest world leader, alive today". Their friendship was reportedly forged over a mutual love of martial arts.
In 2016, Putin personally granted Seagal Russian citizenship at an official ceremony in the Kremlin. Seagal had reportedly asked "insistently and over a lengthy period" to be granted citizenship due to his "warm feelings" for the country.
In 2018, the Russian Foreign Ministry appointed Seagal as a special representative for Russian-American humanitarian relations.
Putin has bestowed the Russian "Order of Friendship" award on Seagal for his contributions to international cooperation. Seagal has also attended major Russian events, including Victory Day celebrations and Putin's inauguration ceremonies.
Seagal has been a vocal supporter of Russia's government and its actions, including the annexation of Crimea, and has joined a pro-Kremlin political party. He has also blamed the West for the conflict in Ukraine.
