Trump has no reason to give Tito a piece of Affliction…
He may hire Tito… Maybe let Tito be a commentator, or take the role as being the “Dana White”-like public relations guy.
I think Trump is a smart business man. He will use Tito for his strengths (which is fighting and promoting fights)… But he won’t give Tito a noteworthy chunk of the business. It just wouldn’t make business sense to do that. Tito doesn’t have the pockets…

Yeah but i just see these guys trying to get a peice of the pie while its hot. I dont see them lobbying to get MMA sanctioned in every state and expand it around the world. the UFC and Dana have done all the work these a**holes dont love the purity of the sport all we are gonna see a shitload of fixed fights.

Wrong not great news for the fans. Dont you see it with all these money grubbing millionaires coming into play MMA will turn into boxing within 5 years. Full of fake champions who dont take risks. At least Dana White loves MMA without a doubt you can see in face and the way he speaks.

Who cares about Donald Trump vs. Dana White, or UFC vs. any other fight league?

I’m just super excited to see a Fedor fight. Along with all the other names on that card, this is going to be a great event. All I care about is watching great fights and great fighters.

What I love is how you assert that so many people are saying that Trump has a passion for MMA, when in fact, nobody on this thread has said anything close to that. Does he see a potential to make money? Absolutely. He also has professional skills and connections that Dana will never have. So yeah, go ahead and assume the worst like everyone else with blind loyalty to the UFC.

Anyone backing Affliction with deep pockets is good for MMA fans. This card is truly stacked. I am skipping Bedlam and putting my dollars to this event.

I was just wondering what Affliction T the Donald would sport at the fight and I had the greatest idea… Affiction should have a line of ties. Yes, neck ties for the Harley riding, MMA watching business man type.
You saw it here first.

Yes he did go bankrupt but lets not forget he went from bankrupt to Multi-millionaire again which is extremly impressive. You have to be a “great business man to accomplish that feat. I all of a sudden feel so wrong defending Donald I can’t stand him either.LOL
