His objection, he went on to say, was with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time Mitchell has unloaded on the president. In April, he branded the White House card \u201can egregious use of political favor to make people worship Donald Trump,\u201d accusing the UFC of bending the sport \u201cto Trump\u2019s campaign while he destroys this nation.\u201d He also branded Trump \u201can antichrist of Revelation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=680\">Trump Makes Desperate Pitch to Voters in 12:38AM Panic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mitchell\u2019s about-turn is dramatic. He told reporters in December 2024 he would \u201ctake a bullet and die\u201d for Trump, before flipping a year later and posting a video telling his 600,000 followers the president was a \u201ccorrupted leader\u201d who had \u201ctricked\u201d him on the Epstein files.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell, though, is far from a sympathetic critic. The fighter was condemned by UFC boss Dana White in January 2025 after he denied the Holocaust and called Adolf Hitler \u201ca good guy.\u201d White said he was \u201cbeyond disgusted\u201d but declined to punish him, citing free speech.<\/p>\n<p>But his complaint stings even more because it comes from a fighter one might expect to be cheering the spectacle, which has been dogged by criticism from across the MMA world. Among its critics is Joe Rogan, the sport\u2019s most popular commentator-turned-podcaster, who branded it a \u201cgimmick,\u201d as the Daily Beast reported last month.<\/p>\n<p>Even White has conceded the bash may not help his old friend. Asked whether Trump, 79, \u201cneeds\u201d the event given his cratering approval, White, 56, admitted to Rolling Stone, \u201cProbably not.\u201d He added, \u201cI bet he probably wishes that this wasn\u2019t happening, but it\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fight night is projected to cost more than $60 million, with UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings expected to swallow a net loss of around $30 million.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, though, has grown so fond of the towering octagon structure that he\u2019s floated the idea of keeping it forever. Comparing it to the Eiffel Tower, the president said Tuesday, \u201cI\u2019m looking at it, and maybe we\u2019ll never ever take it down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=678\">White House Unveils Unsettling New Uncle Sam<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House and the UFC for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A UFC fighter has taken a swing at Donald Trump over plans to stage a cage-fighting card on the White House lawn, accusing the government of \u201cdesecrating\u201d its own role.
