Masvidal lost his boxing match with Nate Diaz? Oh, he’s really cooked, huh?

Nice reminder that the wider world is not how the partisan corporate media tries to depict it.

Noah Dowe at MMFA:

Right-wing media have amplified conspiracy theories and bigotry from Ultimate Fighting Championship figures including UFC President Dana White and a number of high-profile fighters.  In doing so, these media platforms have mirrored former President Donald Trump's efforts to use the prizefighting league to boost his 2024 campaign. They’ve also provided a megaphone for White and his current and former fighters — some of whom have expressed support for QAnon and claimed the U.S. government orchestrates mass shootings — to espouse racism, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, false claims of election fraud, and a claim that Pfizer-sponsored athletes are “taking handouts from the devil.” 

UFC fighters have delved into right-wing politics and fringe conspiracy theories like QAnon, finding allies in conservative media

An MMA journalist noted that a number of UFC fighters have repeatedly used their public platforms to court conservative fans and endorse extreme right-wing conspiracy theories, including QAnon. MMA journalist Karim Zidan has reported that dozens of MMA figures have embraced fringe beliefs like QAnon, COVID-19 conspiracy theories, mass shooting denialism, and even 9/11 trutherism. He has written: “MMA's embrace of outsider sports fans and right-wing politicians has helped create a wave of athletes activating around extremist causes and conspiracies.” [Bloody Elbow, 9/15/20; Global Sport Matters, 10/20/22]

Former President Donald Trump employed endorsements from UFC fighters in the 2020 election and now sees the organization as a major component of his 2024 campaign, as his team hopes to target “young male audiences with little interest in politics.” During the 2020 election cycle, a number of fighters endorsed Trump and joined campaign events like the Trump Jr.-led “Fighters Against Socialism” bus tour; the former president’s 2024 campaign is now doubling down on this strategy, which Trump aides say “puts him in front of potential voters who may not closely follow politics or engage with traditional news sources.” [Politico, 10/29/20; The Guardian, 8/5/23; The Associated Press, 12/15/23]

Right-wing media have previously defended bigoted commentary from UFC fighters, even backing middleweight Sean Strickland after he described being transgender as “a mental fucking illness” and suggested he would have “failed as a man” if he reared a gay son. A number of right-wing figures, including podcaster Steve Bannon and white nationalist Nick Fuentes, also championed UFC star Conor McGregor after his anti-immigrant commentary came under investigation by Irish authorities last year; Fuentes notably told McGregor to “rise up” because “it’s either going to be the Irish or it’s going to be the blacks. Only one side is going to come out of this alive.” [Media Matters, 11/30/23, 1/31/24; Sports Politika, 11/30/23]  

Outside of direct interviews with these fighters and figures, some right-wing media have attempted to harness what Bannon’s War Room called “one of the last patriotic sports left” for political gain. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, for example, has advocated for the Republican Party to embrace “the alpha male culture of Joe Rogan, Dana White, and the UFC” in order to “win over millions of other voters,” even suggesting he would contact White in an effort to “get voter registration and ballot chasing at every one of these UFC fights.” [Bloody Elbow, 4/14/21; Real America’s Voice, The Charlie Kirk Show, 7/10/23, 6/3/24]

Dana White

UFC President Dana White is a Trump ally and donor who has repeatedly used the organization to benefit the former president’s political ambitions. Besides directly endorsing Trump at the 2020 Republican National Convention, Karim Zidan reported in September 2020 that “White, along with a select group of UFC fighter[s],” had “spent the last few months advocating for the incumbent president in an attempt to ensure his re-election. From campaign rallies and bus tours, to TV appearances and ad spots, the UFC went to great lengths to campaign for Trump.” [The Guardian, 8/23/20; Bloody Elbow, 11/11/20; The New York Times, 5/12/20]

The UFC continues to be a bastion of right-wing extremism, conspiracy theories, and bigotry. Dana White, Joe Rogan, and co. set the tone for that style.

Jorge masvidal x reader where him and reader go to a party and reader feels like he's ignoring her so she does the same thing the next and he gets kind of irritated cuz he didn't do anything and you complete the rest thank you so much

Sorry it took me so long, had a busy week

I didn’t do anything

* English is not my first language I apologise

* Gif is not mine

* Triggers: swearing, angst, fluff

Y/N POV

There he was talking with some people I don’t even know who they are, totally ignoring me. “Jorge?” I asked politely. He smiled briefly at me and looked back, listening what the other person is telling him. “Jorge, I’m going to get a drink, you want as well?” He looked back at me and shook his head. “Not now babe, I’m busy.” He turned away from me again. ‘Oh okay, you want to play that game… so be it then.’ I turned around and went to the bar. “Hi, one Bacardi Cola.” The bartender nodded and gave me my drink as I payed him. “Thanks.” I grabbed the glass and looked around. People were talking, dancing and watching others just like me. “Hey, you’re Jorge’s girl right?” A tall blond guy stand next to me, also looking around at the club. “Yes, why?” He smiled friendly at me. “I’m one of his old school mates.” I nodded and smiled back. “So you know Jorge when he was a little guy.” He laughs and nods. “Yes I know everything from his childhood.” “Tell me everything then.”

Jorge POV

I looked around to find Y/N, she just disappeared out of nowhere. ‘Where the hell can she be?’ I walked to the bar and saw her talking to Dennis. An old school mate of mine. “Hey there you are.” I said an stood next to her. Dennis smiled at me. “But Dennis, are you sure it wasn’t just a bee?” He laughs. “No it was not just a bee, it was way bigger than that, right Jorge? When I got stung by that weird looking creature.” I laughed and nodded. “Oh yes, no honey that was no average bee.” She didn’t reacted at me, still looking at Dennis. “Is something wrong?” I whispered to her as Dennis ordered a new drink. She turns around and smiles at me. “No, but I’m busy right now.” She immediately turned around to Dennis and started a new conversation with him. ‘What the fuck?’ I looked surprised at her, ignoring me just like that. ‘She mad at you.’ I huffed and order myself a drink, closely watching her. ‘This is going to be an long night.’

It was way to late as we walked to our cab. “Did you enjoy it tonight?” She only nods and get in the cab. I followed her and looked at her. “Is something wrong..?” “Hi, can you bring us to this address please.” She totally ignored me again and showed the driver our address. “Of course..” she smiles and leans back into her seat. “I did something to upset you but I don’t know why, just cut the bullshit already.” She looked at me. “Me? I think you should stop the bullshit Jorge.” She crossed her arms and looked away from me. “What did I do?!” I slightly raised my voice. “Enough, I don’t want to talk to you now.” I huffed and shook my head. “Very mature, okay fine then we don’t talk like adults normally do.” I looked away from her. “Yep, just like we already been doing, ignoring each other.” I looked back at her as she still looked outside her window. “Ignoring?” She stays quiet. “Baby, you thought I was ignoring you?” She turns slightly and looks at me. “Yes, I was asking you something and you just cut me off, with not now babe I’m busy.” She looks down at her hands. “I didn’t know anyone there, you could at least introduced me to them.” I sighed and carefully reached out to her hands. “Baby… I didn’t know, I’m sorry.” I held her hands in mine as she looks up. “I’m sorry, I’m an idiot… do you forgive me?” I looked at her with pleading eyes. “Yeah, only because we are already married.” She joked as she had a small smile on her face. “Good, divorcing is expensive tho.” We both had a laugh about it. “Don’t ever ignore me again Jorge.” “ I promise I will try to not ignore you ever again in the future.” She rolled her eyes at me. “I mean it Jorge.” I nodded “ yeah me too.” I laughed as she slapped my arm. “Okay okay I promise, no need to fight me.” “Good, because I’m the baddest Motherfucker here.” I laughed and shook my head at her. “Are we good again?” “Yes we are good again.” I kissed her temple as she hugs me from the side. “I love you.” “I love you baby.”

Noah Dowe and Pete Tsipis at MMFA:

Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight Sean Strickland recently described being transgender as a “mental fucking illness.” Now, right-wing media is cheering him on, joining a larger trend of right-wing media platforming UFC fighters and figures who spread hateful rhetoric and conspiracy theories.

During a pre-match press conference on January 18, Sean Strickland launched into an anti-trans rant after a reporter asked him about his history of bigoted anti-LGBTQ comments. Strickland described being transgender as “a mental fucking illness” and called the reporter asking the question “an infection” and “the enemy.” [Bloody Elbow, 1/20/24]

Strickland has a well-documented history of making bigoted and sexist remarks. The former UFC champion has said that “society should never accept” trans people, that “the collective man group” needs to “elect somebody who is gonna put women back in the kitchen,” and that he would have “failed as a man” if he reared a gay son. [Twitter/X, 12/27/21, 10/26/23, 6/28/23] 

UFC President Dana White defended Strickland at the post-match press conference, saying, “If you get your feelings hurt that bad, you probably shouldn’t ask." He also said the fighter was “baited in that question.” Asked if he gives “a long leash” to fighters to say what they want, White responded, “I don’t fucking tell any other human being what to say, what to think. … Free speech, brother. People can say whatever they want and believe whatever they want.” [MMAJunkie, 1/21/24]

Right-wing media rush to the defense of UFC fighter Sean Strickland's bigoted anti-LGBTQ+ remarks.
