UFC 205, which takes place this Saturday (12), in New York, could receive a special visitor. Dana White, president of the organization, revealed that Donald Trump, president-elect of the United States and his personal friend, said he would go to Madison Square Garden if he won the elections, a fact that came true last Tuesday, when he defeated candidate Hillary Clinton in the race for the position.

“Donald originally told me he would come to the fight if he won. I don't think Donald realized what his commitments would be if he won. I think he will meet with (Barack) Obama (current US president) today. I don’t know, we’ll see”, White revealed to the website “TMZ” (USA) on Thursday night (10).
It is worth remembering that the Republican candidate has always supported MMA, especially in the early 2000s, when Dana White and the Fertittas brothers bought the UFC. Interestingly, the organization's first events were held at one of Trump's casinos in New Jersey, a state neighboring New York, when MMA was illegal in most of the US.
As a form of gratitude, Dana White supported Trump in his presidential campaign, as well as some Ultimate fighters, cases of Donald Cerrone and Tim Kennedy.
UFC 205 will be held this Saturday (12) and will start at 21:30 pm (Brasília time) with full coverage of the SUPER FIGHTS, with narration of the fights in real time, combat reports and post-event interviews.
