Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White is deploying all the levers of his billion-dollar cagefighting empire in support of Donald Trump’s re-election bid
On a stage set to resemble a mixed martial arts cage at the Tampa Convention Center, Jorge Masvidal spoke to a crowd of several hundred people about the “horrors” of communism and socialism.
The UFC star, dressed in a black Gucci tracksuit, succinctly explained that the United States is the “greatest country in the fucking world”, which is why he had chosen to throw his weight behind Donald Trump’s re-election campaign. As the son of a Cuban immigrant who escaped Cuba on a tire to seek a better life in the US, Masvidal expressed profound concern over the current political climate, which he believes is under attack from radical forces.
