UFC Fighters React to Donald Trump’s Return to White House

UFC-fighters rally behind Trump’s victory, sharing bold messages of support.

Trump Secures a Historic Second Term

Donald Trump is once again the President of the United States. After defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the former president secured more than 270 electoral votes, clinching victory across key battleground states. With this win, Trump becomes the oldest president to be elected in U.S. history and the second, after Grover Cleveland, to serve non-consecutive terms. Trump’s win reflects a notable victory in seven swing states, demonstrating substantial support despite a historically polarized campaign.

Many UFC fighters took to social media to share their reactions, with prominent figures like Israel Adesanya, Khamzat Chimaev, and Renato Moicano among those voicing their opinions. UFC’s support for Trump, a trend that started during his first term, seems as strong as ever, with fighters across the roster showing solidarity with the Republican victor.

UFC Fighters Celebrate on Social Media

Trump’s close ties to UFC President Dana White have bolstered his popularity among fighters. Colby Covington, known for his outspoken support for Trump, shared celebratory posts from Mar-a-Lago on election night. Covington’s excitement was matched by others, including Israel Adesanya, who posted, “The best season of ‘Murica is upon us!!” adorned with patriotic emojis. Khamzat Chimaev and Justin Gaethje also shared their enthusiasm, while others voiced hope for Trump’s handling of the economy and foreign policies. Bo Nickal, another UFC name, proudly tweeted, “Pennsylvania we did it!! Proud of you all let’s go!” confirming his excitement about Trump’s success in the crucial swing state.

Renato Moicano humorously declared Trump as the “first president to win three times the election,” a statement highlighting Trump’s lasting impact on the sport’s fan base. Meanwhile, Chris Weidman expressed admiration for Trump’s relentless campaigning, posting, “Agree! He is an animal,” in response to comparisons of Trump’s appearances and rallies to those of his opponent.
