I said it in the ppv thread when it happened. I wouldn't doubt it Dana was giving bonuses to guys to "endorse" Trump. We know UFC doesn't pay like boxing, so a few thousand dollars for a photo op would mean the world to a bunch of these fighters.

Yeah but guys like Usman and Jones might not have NBA money but they should be at the point where a few thousand isn’t enticement to do this. I can understand for the lower card fighters, for most of them pursuing a career in MMA will have as much benefit as being a strung out junkie would be for them. So they’ll gladly jump on any Pennie’s the UFC tosses their way. The guys who could be said to have an actual career where they’ve had a few PPV point payouts, they just like Trump. Usman because his dad was pardoned under Trump and Jones cause he just as hypocritical and sanctimonious as Trump is.
