UFC has an opportunity to change whatever rules they want to have changed with Dana's personal friend being the president. Will UFC push for any rule change?
Are they afraid that if Democrats come back they will turn back whatever is changed and penalize UFC out of vengeance? Is it wiser to not change a thing so there isn't blowback?
Besides Trump, Dana also holds hands with Turki. Could they make something happen in Saudia that wouldn't be possible in the US?


Personally I would like to see tournaments make a comeback. Besides that I don't think regulations are holding the UFC back but I may be missing something.

Would the guy who moved an entire event to another state to avoid regulations take advantage of being friends with Trump?

Nah. Not a chance. :)

Pugilism is regulated by state commissions, not the president. Sure, trump could try to proclaim some illegal executive order but it would get shut down in the courts eventually
 
Maybe Aunt Dana can play this right and send Merab packing and blame tariffs?
 
MMA is regulated at the state level not the federal level so I don't think there's much Trump could do without getting Congress involved.

What would they even want to change, really?
Turki and the Sauds are investing trillions of dollars to lobby for Federally enforced PRIDE rules.
Expected to be a unanimous pass after opening arguments include a Chute Boxe highlight video

What do you imagine he would do?

Have some federally funded post event parties?
