How the UFC Went MAGA (jacobin.com)

MMA used to be home to oddballs unified by a love of beating each other up inside cages. But since Donald Trump’s first presidency, the UFC has rebranded the sport as a refuge for the “anti-woke sports fan,” while breaking unions and censoring the media.

Repeated concussions will do that to almost any crowd.

I used to watch quite a bit of UFC until Trump started showing up. But also their cards suck now anyways.

It was never about social movements, principles or even conscious thought. It was always about money and the intended audience.

Surprised they didn’t mention the wwe/ufc merger. Trump’s always loved professional wrestling and the mcmahon family.

One of the early executive orders this admin was for a celebration of the 250th anniversary of US independence (july 4 2026). I’m convinced it will be a coliseum fight or a ‘games’ a la the medieval king era.

Huh, didn't think a sport involving sweaty half naked dudes grabbing each other on the ground would be so popular with conservatives. Duality of man I suppose :>
