Plenty of UFC fighters have expressed interest in being a part of the planned UFC White House card, but don’t include Brandon Royval’s name on that list.
I don’t give a fuck to fight in front of some fucking billionaires and rich people that could give a shit less about me. Probably throwing parlays. Fuck you guys."
I mean, I appreciate him taking a stand here. But I’m not really sure what he thinks his day job even is? MMA ticket prices for floor seats can be around $1,500, options up into the $10,000 range.
He’s a worker, of course he’s beholden to capitol.
But there’s a difference between a normal fight and something like this. There’s dignity as an athlete competing in a sports league with problems, this would be different
I’d wager the people coming to the fight at the White House wouldn’t even care about the fight. The people paying 1,5k to 10k for a ticket and come to an arena for it do care.
It’s about becoming a background entertainment event for billionaires.

I doubt it. My ex-employer used to have really expensive seats for sport events just to schmooze clients. I wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of those seats are bought by company sales people.

Sorry to be that guy, but it’s “capital”. Capitol is a building that houses the head of state.
Damnit…I actually second guessed myself on it too lol
He can’t really do anything about that.

Reminds me of the fighters from Django.
I thought of Jeff Bezos ruining the landing of the Blue Origin space flight interview with champagne and yelling

That still boils my blood so fucking much.
He wants to only fight infront of Millionaires, not just Billionaires.
