Former President Donald Trump has proposed the creation of a 'migrant fighting league' to UFC President Dana White. Speaking at a conservative religious conference on Saturday, Trump suggested that migrants, whom he described as 'nasty, mean, and tough people,' could be pitted against each other in fights for entertainment. Trump mentioned this idea as a way to highlight the toughness of migrants and suggested that the champion of this league could fight the champion of the regular UFC league. The proposal, which Trump later described as a joke, has sparked controversy and criticism, with many viewing it as dehumanizing rhetoric against migrants. The idea was also brought up during a post-fight press conference in Saudi Arabia.
