"I think the migrants might actually win" - Donald Trump wants Dana White to set up "migrant league" to challenge UFC champions
Donald Trump recently said that he wanted a league where UFC champions would compete against the country's migrants. Trump expressed confidence in the migrants' chances against the UFC fighters.
During his rally in Pittsburgh on Nov. 4, a day before the presidential elections, Trump stated:
''I told the UFC's Dana White, you ought to set up your league of champions, unbelievable best fighters in the world, and a migrant league. At the end, I want the migrant to go against the champion and I think the migrant might actually win, that's how nasty some of these guys are.''

This is not the first time Trump has requested this type of league. In June, the 78-year-old said in front of a Washington crowd that he had previously offered the idea to the UFC CEO.
White, who is friends with Trump, attended his campaign rally last month at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The 55-year-old expressed his support for the real estate mogul by saying:
''President Trump and I have been friends for over 25 years... He is the most resilient, hardest working human being that I have ever met in my life. I know he's a great leader, this is not my opinion, not my hope, he's proven he can build the strongest economy in American history."

Dana White talks about his role in Donald Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast
In a recent interview with Russell Brand, Dana White discussed how he set up Donald Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, last month. The UFC CEO said he was confident that Rogan and Trump would click during their conversation.
''[Trump] is authentic enough to go on Joe Rogan's show for three and a half hours, unscripted, and talk about anything that pops up to talk to Joe or anybody else. I pushed hard for him to do that interview because that's the setting that he needs to be in... I knew he and Rogan would like each other. I needed to get those two together because I knew they would end up liking each other once they sat in a room together."
