Take a lap because I don’t enjoy UFC? What the ****? I had no idea that it was today nor did I know that was the name of it. What does me not liking UFC have to do with the military? I’m glad that anyone that enjoys it, can attend or watch. Damn, dude; sorry to piss you off.
I had the same reaction; I support the military / USA but I don’t watch UFC and had no idea what this was lol. I’ll take lap with ya

seems like a classy bunch of folks gathered at the WH tonight. Americans everywhere should be proud.


It's a post fight interview. UFC doesn't police its fighters speech. Dumb comment from the fighter, but the dude plays into the heel personality. That wasn't planned or organized. This isn't some maga or RNC event.

How many minutes have you watched tonight?

I think in your mind this is a Vince McMahon attitude era WWE production. Thats just not the case
I don’t know what this means, but any sporting event on the White House lawn does not mean good things for America. This kind of spectacle either means we’re ruhtarded, we’re on the doorstep of a Julius Caesar type of takeover, or both.

zero minutes.

explain to me why seeing our White House lawn degraded into a temporary trailer park with carneys jumping motorcycles and shirtless dudes with cauliflower ears would be appealing to me.

why would i as a proud American want to watch that kind of debacle where they literally announce to the crowd that the fighters will be paid with crypto directly from the family business of the sitting president as if that isn't a massive red flag for ongoing corruption?

i'm sure my granddad the Clemson grad and WW2 Marine would be grateful to see the troops saluting these clowns as they walk to the cage before saying eloquent things like Michelle Obama is a man derpppp.

the fact that you don't see how embarrassing this is for America is really sad.

Maybe they’ll have an ice skating event for you next time

There is a crypto bonus for fighters. Their base pay will be traditional legal tender
oh well that's not corrupt at all then. we're only paying bonuses with Trump family crypto. totally above board.

glad to see we've got no conflicts of interest from the highest office in the land:

President Trump purchased between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock for TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of the UFC and WWE. Public financial disclosures revealed the stock was acquired on March 25, 2026, just weeks after he and the UFC publicly announced the "Freedom 250" fight on the White House South Lawn.

If he bought it before it was public, I would have an issue. What is the problem with buying it after everything was made public? Weeks after. Unless we are going to keep everyone in politics out of the market, I'm not sure what the problem is .
BTW, I would be good with not allowing any individual (company) stock purchases for for politicians, but that is not what we have right now.

That’s completely ok. No issue there. Celebrating tranny sex is fine. God forbid we honor the military and have a professional sporting event as opposed to a trannie pride parade at the WH.😂🤡

yep the entire thing from the weigh ins with the Bald Eagle soaring to the motorcycles, Zac Browns National Anthem, the fly over with the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds flying together, the fights, and how well the military was represented... all just amazing

I guess if they would have had two transgenders fight, it might have been more accepted by some. :rolleyes:

I know Topuria retired on the stool but damn...I think dana makes a lucrative offer for a rematch. What an amazing fight. Ilia's ribs probably hurt worse than his face today. He got straight beat the eff up but those rib shots at the end. No way at least 2 arent broken.

Ten Facts:

1. Its an election year, so everything is politicized
2. A lot of people don't like Trump. People who don't tend to be vocal about it
3. UFC and MMA isn't everyone's cup of tea
4. Some people don't like the idea of events at the White House, regardless of party politics
5. The event was very well organized and produced
6. The event had no overt political agenda. Not a partisan event
7. Josh Hokits post fight comments were in poor taste. He wanted to go viral, and he did.
8. Josh Hokits comments were the only Low Brow moment of the night
9. The event was extremely respectful of the nation's capital. Delicately showcased the history and beauty of the grounds.
10. Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln would've loved it
