Trump Wants UFC at the White House, Chavez Jr. Detained by ICE

from Morning Kombat · host Black Effect x All The Smoke Productions

Brian Campbell, Luke Thomas and the entire MK crew is back on a Monday to go over the latest headlines in the world of combat sports. President Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters in Iowa on Friday he was intending to host UFC fights on the lawn of the White House for July 4th celebrations next year. The fellas ponder if it's a good idea. Fresh off of his loss to Jake Paul, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. was detained by ICE and is set for deportation to Mexico, where he is reportedly wanted for activity related to the Sinaloa Cartel. Various reports suggest he might've acted as something of an enforcer for the cartel. While these charges are serious, why was the fight between Paul and Chavez allowed to go forward if this information was known? Plus, the guys react to ONE Championship's continuous decline, talk boxing with David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde set for November and Tyson Fury coming out of retirement yet again. BC and LT also look ahead to the rest of 2025 and go over what they want to see in combat sports for the remainder of the year.
