So what I'm seeing is not only Dana and the majority of UFC fans are MAGA, but the fighters too?
Overwhelmingly. Black fighters too smh

Indeed. It's likely due to a combination of Trump being involved in MMA for so long(he was a major shareholder in the Affliction promotion) and the long standing right wing bias in martial arts schools. The facade of manliness plays into it as well.

There are plenty of big names in boxing that support him as well. Mayweather is a supporter. Mike Tyson was a speaker at the 2016 Republican National Convention where Trump accepted the party's nomination.


Dc is one that disappointed me being against unions:francis:

Remember that half assed attempt at a fighters union? A lot of those dudes were Trump supporters. Cerrone admitted that Dana talked him out of continuing to support the union in one sitting :mjlol:
:francis:he was also on that steven Crowder show with Gavin Mcinnes

The OG UFC grifter (and newfound progressive hero), Joe Rogan, was responsible for a ton of fighters going on Crowder's show.

Bellator needs to do a better job of promoting their cards, I had no idea there was even a show. I haven't caught one live since they moved to CBS Sports

What's foul is these cards have been really good and I don't see many people talking about em because it feels like they came outta no where. The FW tournament has been fire all along.
