Many UFC fighters openly support Donald Trump and align with his views. Recently, Trump announced plans with Dana White to host a UFC-style event at the White House, making headlines across political and fight circles. Former UFC champion Michael Bisping reacted to the news, sharing his take on how the event might look. According to Bisping, the fight card would be drastically different if organized under a Democratic administration, highlighting the political divide even in combat sports.
According to him, if the Democrats were in charge, we’d likely see more female fighters and a strong international presence. However, with Donald Trump at the helm, Bisping believes the focus will be on American fighters. He joked that Trump would want to showcase all-American talent in front of a patriotic home crowd.
“If Democrats were involved, if they were running the White House now there would have been a lot of female fighters. It would also have a lot of international flavors. But it’s Republican, it’s Trump so they would put a lot of Americans there,” he said.
There’s no doubt about the strong connection between Trump and the UFC, and it could lead to big names like Colby Covington appearing on the card. However, Dana White wants the event to be historic, so he won’t compromise on talent or let politics affect matchmaking.
While Trump’s influence may shape the tone, White’s priority remains to put on the best possible show that delivers entertainment and maintains the UFC’s competitive standards, regardless of political affiliations.
