One of my fondest in-person MMA memories is being on the floor at Gaethje vs MJ, UFC IFW 2017. Insanely fun fight that foretold his UFC future. Never wouldāve guessed heād end up here in 2026 tho. The man š #UFCWhiteHouse
The highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows. I don't think there's a fighter in UFC history that exemplifies that more than Justin Gaethje š

I thought the US would go 1-3. Went 2-2 thanks to badass Gaethje. Thank you UFC for showing you thrive when youāre open & inviting to the world š
They pushed us tonight, gave fans a great show, and will force US competitors to raise their level

Wooooooow, what a helluva fight from Gaethje. From getting handled and slept by Holloway to surviving danger from Topuria and then taking it to the #2 P4P. Woooow #UFCWhiteHouse

For the first half of that round, Gaethje was jabbing while Topiria was crossing like a Mack truck. How the hell does he do that? #UFCWhiteHouse

What the hell is the Association of Combat Commissions? Was that made up for this specific event? #UFCWhiteHouse

Topuria fights bring me joy. Gaethjeās the man too so this will hopefully just be an absolute pleasure to watch
And on a random side note, one of my MBA students last semester wrestled Gaethje in collegeā¦ and won!

Fight fans, did you ever think youād see a WSJ front page like this? #UFCWhiteHouse
Here is an early look at the front page of The Wall Street Journal on.wsj.com/4uzQS6m

Funny but also a little unfair. He was an MMA manager and one of those buddies was on the NAC
Whatās impressive is that a money bleeding company, $40 million in the hole, whose last ditch effort at profitability was paying for TUF to air, is at the White House tonight
In 2001 a Las Vegas fitness-boxing instructor named Dana White convinced his high school buddies to buy a banned, nearly-bankrupt fighting league called UFC for $2 million.
25 years later, it's headlining the White House lawn.

Department of Defense full on propaganda right now. Instead of āpeace through strengthā did they mean āwar because president duped and stupidā?

I donāt see how this oneās pickem even with size difference. In battle kickboxer, feels like a Poatan night. Versus Jones or Aspinall, different story. Letās see #UFCWhiteHouse

Conor trying to be Conor with Max to hype up his fight is just laughable now
A lot of people will tune in, but most of them to hopefully watch Maximus Holloway beat the fighting spirit out of you #UFCWhiteHouse

Have we really come to the point where an athlete can say something so absurd, disrespectful, and wrong like that and we just shrug it off? #UFCWhiteHouse
