Comedian Stavros Halkias says the UFC’s support of Donald Trump has pushed him away from the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA).

Trump occupies a very unique place in the UFC due to his close friendship with CEO Dana White. That’s led to Trump getting the red carpet rolled out at numerous UFC events, a big event on the White House lawn, and several political ads appearing during UFC broadcasts, including one pre-midterm ad with Trump promising voters a $5000 check should his party do well.

His party did not, and now Trump is set to enter 2027 as a ‘lame duck’ president. Based on past experience, White will continue to support his bud and there’s a good chance that Trump will continue to appear at events. And Stavros? He’s sick of it.

Comedian Stavros Halkias says he used to be a UFC fan but it’s become "impossible" for him to enjoy fights now, because it’s become a "MAGA suck off"

“If you think Trump is awesome now, you’re the dumbest person alive,” he said during a recent podcast episode. “You’re stupid or evil or both, probably. And if you’re still sucking Trump’s c–k, you’re a f–king moron. And I believe Dana White has been throating him pretty well recently.”

“I was more of a fan when I was younger,” Stavros said. “My brother’s really [into UFC], when we were kids, we would go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch every big pay-per-view. It’s an awesome memory from my teenage years. I would get in and out, and I was getting back into the sport. And then, just like, the MAGA suck off has really put a damper on it.”

“Look: every owner of every sports team is a piece of s–t. Typically. Maybe a couple aren’t. But there’s something kinda uniquely, like, ‘We suck Trump’s c–k’ coded about the UFC and their willingness to be a part of propaganda. To me, it’s made it impossible to enjoy the sport as much as I do. I’ll still watch. But sometimes I’m on the fence. I’ll just be like, I just don’t want them to have my money.”

First off, big up Stavi for being part of the B-Dubs crew back when that was a thing. From 2008 to 2016 you could go to a Buffalo Wild Wings and pay no cover to catch the fights with a packed house of people. That was the era that captured the rise of Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, and it’s considered a real golden age.

How many of these people the UFC has turned off by making Trump such a centerpiece of the past few years is unclear, but it’d be foolish to think it hasn’t alienated a whole segment of the population, Stavros included.
