Donald Trump’s White House UFC Event Would Be Embarrassing Anywhere

It’s his history about participating in pro wrestling and his fists and his high-speed chase – the man is failed casino impresariolater—it makes sense that Donald Trump would like to do so celebrate America’s birthday and his and UFC cage fights on the White House lawnsponsored by Monster Energy. If there has been a surprise, it has been how the entire affair has failed to clear the bar so low.

The event’s promoters are looking forward to it. “We’re putting on the most hyped fight in history,” UFC hypeman and CEO Dana White said. he told Time. One problem here is that this battle card, in the absence of the White House, won’t be the most historic scheduled for next month, or the biggest or most impressive on a monthly basis. “Honour” is not a word usually associated with the promotion of war; even so.

Thursday, multihyphenate Marco Rubio in comparison the launch of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to the moon landing while making a difficult point to follow about the unique American culture of the company. Absent though this may be, it is in some way more direct.

The UFC, which was founded primarily to showcase the Brazilian family’s jiu-jitsu skills, was not the first MMA promotion. It wasn’t even the first MMA promotion that was founded in 1993. (That honor goes to Pancrase, which itself wasn’t even the first MMA promotion in Japan to ask “What if legalized fighting was real?”) White did not, as Rubio said, introduce the concept of rules and weight classes to the sport. None of this made any sense.

Rubio, as the secretary of state, was at a ceremony with White in Washington, DC, to sign what is for some reason called a memorandum of understanding that is meant to bring the special advantages of the UFC to the discussion of sports management. Perhaps Chechen fighter Ramzan Kadyrov, who has long been associated with the UFC’s elite fighters. he insisted Don’t just go to the UFC, it’s going to take a role.

White is, to be fair, the initiator. His Power Slap Show, which premiered in January 2023—the same month TMZ printed a video showing him beating his wife in public—reinforces a popular book and a unique American game created by people who want to argue.

Now, he is interfering in the bombast space to say that he expects “Super Bowl-type numbers” for Sunday’s event. (Netflix, itself they say that his recent fight against Ronda Rousey was the most watched MMA event of all time, the highest US show at 11.6 million – less than 10 percent of viewers. approximately recent Super Bowl audience.)

Certainly no money has been wasted on the most spectacular event in history. Looking at the lawn of the White House, you could be forgiven for the designers’ ideas that are carried within Meta warehouse from Las Vegas and drop it off there.

If UFC Freedom 250 fails to be watched by anyone in the US, it’s probably because, for a card with fighters coming in from the Oval Office, it’s not really interesting. A generous description would be… well. In the main event, undefeated 155-pound champion Ilia Topuria will take on reigning 155-pound champion Justin Gaethje, who has been as entertaining a fighter as he has been for years. There will be a short-lived heavyweight title fight and a few other fights, almost all of them featuring fighters on the roster (and none of them featuring women). Maybe a few people who don’t know the advantages and disadvantages of different betting programs will be very happy with the offer, but that’s the majority of people, and they have to take action on a solid night.
