Of course Ali was in on it.
He’s very close with our government.
Some might say too close…
Cormier vs jones 3 main event ufc White House!! Please!!
Might be a longer layoff than what she's expecting, but Kayla vs Amanda at the White House makes a lot of sense. USA vs Brazil.
Cyborg vs Nunes at Aligator Alcatraz
Everyone says how dude ish she is and I think her personality makes her such a cutie seems like the most bad ass and jacked cutie pie out there
Kayla fights a roided out Gina Corano at the White House
Love Kayla
Shut a dumb clown lmao
Let’s call out rousey who’s been retired for well over 5 years. Pvssy
gotta love 720p in 2025
one of my favorite fighters
Brett completely dropped the ball and guessed the most common name in mma. Even though Kayla gave two big clues that she wants to fight Ronda on that card. I thought Brett was about to guess it, and then he said Conor SMH
Kayla vs ananda is a big fight and it should be at a normal location not the White House
Can’t zerk to 720 bret you’re a failure
Kyle Harryman vs Jon Jones at 205
Kayla is cool, and i think she'll be a champion again AFTER amanda beats her and retires again.
What’s UFCs stance on fascism?
something is happening soon, otherwise why give an interview
Ronda?
shes saying bones vs cormier 3
DC😂
Jesus why are people still talking about Conor fighting, plenty of other stars time to move on. Fans don't care anymore, give it up
Aspinall vs Jones
Harrison vs Nunes
McGregor vs Chandler
… that's the perfect lineup for the UFC White House card.
gsp vs khabib
Amanda GOAT Nunes
Kayla is a GODDESS
I think it's mistic mac or Brock lesner
Kayla vs Amanda at the White House is the fight to make. Would be absolutely insane insane
