Former UFC champion likens White House card to The | MMA News
Glad not to be half of the once-in-a-lifetime event, Belal Muhammad has discovered similarities between the UFC White House and widespread film franchise The Hunger Games.
The White House show has divided opinion since its announcement. Some think about the event a breath of recent air and an modern step ahead for the game, while others consider the event is overhyped. Most of the UFC‘s greatest names have been theoretically stepping over one another to be one of the chosen few to compete in entrance of the president at his residence. However, one man who was thrilled not to hear his title linked with the event was the previous UFC champion.
Belal Muhammad has taken issue with the dearth of true followers anticipated to attend the event. The evening of fights, live from the White House South Lawn, will see politicians, billionaires, and the like spectating cageside, with real blended martial arts followers being ushered to the Ellipse, a close by park.
“My thoughts, initially, was surprised,” Muhammad said after the reveal of the UFC White House card. “Definitely not the card that I thought, that they hyped up, where, you know, you had [Donald] Trump saying 10 title fights. I think, what is it, two title fights on there?… I mean, obviously, people are going to hate, people are going to argue, but they’re fighting at the White House.”
“It’s not open to the public, not open to real fans. When I picture the people that are there watching, I picture, like, the Hunger Games. The first one when, I don’t know if you guys watched it, Katniss was at the tryout, and then all the rich, snobby people were at the top not paying attention to her, and they’re just talking, and she had to shoot the arrow through the pig. That’s what I feel like it’s going to be. They’re just going to be not really paying attention to what’s happening in the cage.”
“If they see a little bit of blood, they don’t see knockouts. But they’re not real fans, so who cares?”
