Well, if there’s one thing people can say about Donald Trump, it is that he is never one to shy away from controversy. The former president’s latest brainchild is pitting American UFC fighters against a “migrant league” of their own. The winners of this hypothetical migrant league will then get a chance to challenge the UFC champs.
It all started when Trump was rallying the troops in Pittsburgh. He was talking about the Penn State wrestling team and how they should “wrestle the migrants.” From there, his mind wandered to the world of MMA, and he revealed that he had asked Dana White to set this thing up.
“Oh, those Penn State guys, I wanted them to wrestle the migrants. I told, you know, the UFC, Dana White. They killed me on this. I told him to set up your league of champions, unbelievable, best fighters in the world, and a migrant league.”
The fact that Donald Trump was actually serious about this idea is just mind-boggling. But he didn’t stop there. He also decided to throw Kamala Harris into the mix, suggesting that the current Vice President should step into the ring with none other than the legendary Mike Tyson.
Needless to say, Donald Trump’s comments were met with a fair share of backlash. But it seems like his support base is actually growing in the wake of these outrageous statements. As the election draws near, it becomes even more necessary that he gather the support of as many people as possible.
