“When you consider fighter walkouts, each time a fighter walks out to the [Octagon] — I imply, the 2 greatest that really shake the world are President Trump and Conor McGregor, two of the most important battle walkouts ever,” the UFC boss advised Babcock on the TMZ Sports activities TV present (airs nightly on FS1).
In fact, UFC 309 goes down Saturday evening at Madison Sq. Backyard in NYC — the primary PPV occasion since Trump defeated Kamala Harris by a landslide final Tuesday — so we requested Dana whether or not DJT could be in the home.
“I believe that something is feasible. He is a giant fan. Who is aware of? He may pop in,” White advised us with a smile on his face.
Dana and Donald go approach again.
Within the early days of White’s UFC possession, when states (like New York — which now loves the UFC) and venues alike refused to host MMA fights, Trump supplied up his Atlantic Metropolis casinos … at a time when the promotion was struggling to only get by.
When DJT determined to run for president main as much as the 2016 election, DW was proper there by Trump’s facet, talking out early and infrequently on behalf of his shut buddy.
In different phrases, the lads share an extremely robust bond … so do not be shocked in any respect if Trump’s first high-profile public look comes at UFC 309.
Take a look at the total interview … DW and MB discuss Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic (greatest heavyweight battle ever?), Bones’ future (may this be Jon’s final battle? Is Jones ducking Tom Aspinall?), and far more … together with why White ought to most likely simply write Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira a $50K test proper now.
