“When you consider fighter walkouts, every time a fighter walks out to the [Octagon] — I imply, the 2 largest that truly shake the world are President Trump and Conor McGregor, two of the most important battle walkouts ever,” the UFC boss instructed Babcock on the TMZ Sports activities TV present (airs nightly on FS1).
After all, UFC 309 goes down Saturday night time 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 feel that something is feasible. He is an enormous fan. Who is aware of? He may pop in,” White instructed 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 sometimes on behalf of his shut good friend.
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.
Try the total interview … DW and MB speak about Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic (largest heavyweight battle ever?), Bones’ future (may this be Jon’s final battle? Is Jones ducking Tom Aspinall?), and rather more … together with why White ought to in all probability simply write Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira a $50K test proper now.
