United States presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared on Adin Ross' special Kick livestream on August 5, 2024. The two conversed on a variety of topics, including those related to politics, the potential issues Donald Trump would like to address if he becomes the President as well as other less weighty matters such as the former President's love for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Sitting alongside Adin Ross, Donald Trump was all praise while talking about UFC president and CEO Dana White. Trump claimed that while other individuals could be "replaced," Dana White was among the select few who "cannot be replaced". Calling him "great" at his job, Trump stated:

"Dana! There's nobody like him, you know? You know, I always say, every body can be replaced, except Dana. This guy travels the world looking for fighters, okay? 'Get me fighters,' he doesn't care where they- from countries nobody ever heard of, and that's where he finds the best fighters. No, he's, he cannot be replaced. He's truly great at what he does."'

Donald Trump talks about his favorite UFC fighter during Kick broadcast with Adin Ross

Presidential elect Donald Trump is known to be a big fan of the UFC, having famously appeared in the UFC 302 event as well as the preceding 299 event. As stated by Adin Ross during his conversation with the former President, the two had met for the first time at a UFC event.

Noting his interest in the UFC, Adin Ross asked him:

"I know you're a UFC fan, right? Who are, like, your favorite fighters?"

Replying to this, Donald Trump revealed his favorite UFC fighter to be Khabib Nurmagomedov:

Well, I think Khabib- I mean, how good is he? You know who Khabib is? Khabib was 29, I guess, 29-28 and 0, and then his father died and he's sad, but I think he never lost. I don't think he ever lost a round, like, he fought many times. he never lost like a round."

Despite the correct statistics, Presidential candidate Donald Trump wrongfully used "round" in this context. Khabib Nurmagomedov has lost two rounds in his career, including one during a fight with his arch-rival Conor McGregor and another during his bout with Justin Gaethje.

However, as implied by Trump, Nurmagomedov retired with an undefeated record of 29 wins and no matches lost.
