In the midst of a complete sports blackout, it makes sense that the UFC would be taking its cues from President Trump. williamfleitch writes
Common sense isn’t the UFC’s MO. Photo: Louis Grasse/PX Images/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Take it from someone who, as he writes this, is watching the MLB: The Show 20 video game simulate the first month of the postponed 2020 Major League Baseball season : If you’ve spent your entire life watching sports obsessively, it has been quite a withdrawal.
This is insane in every possible way — the fighters didn’t even know where they’re fighting! Or in some cases even who! — but it remains par for the course for the UFC. And the reason for that is Dana White. It’s something he has largely done on the backs of his fighters — as the Ringer pointed out last year, the best way to think of UFC fighters is as Uber drivers who keep getting kicked in the face. But it has been an undeniable success story. And, as White will constantly tell you, a large part of that success has been because of one man: Donald Trump.
So it should not be a surprise that when the coronavirus hit, White called Trump for assistance. And the message was clear and explicit: Keep going.
