Former UFC title contender, Chael Sonnen, has sharply criticized UFC president Dana White’s decision to schedule a major fight card on the birthday of former US President Donald Trump. Sonnen, known for his outspoken nature, suggested that White was catering to Trump by choosing this date.
Sonnen elaborated on his views, stating, “Dana White booked a fight card for his king, Trump’s birthday. That’s what he did.” He implied that this was a deliberate move to please Trump, rather than a purely strategic decision for the UFC’s benefit.
The criticism highlights a perceived political alignment between White and Trump, with Sonnen suggesting that the UFC’s scheduling was influenced by personal loyalty rather than business interests.
