@60minutes: When Dana White caught wind that UFC’s owners were out of money, he called two high school buddies, Las Vegas casino heirs, and persuaded them to buy the league. In the early 2000s, no one wanted to host the fights, worried about the type of crowd that would show up to watch the brutal mash up of combat sports and martial arts. But the UFC found a home at the Taj Mahal casino in New Jersey’s Atlantic City, then owned by Donald Trump. The league’s balance sheets were upside down in those early days. White recalls one of his investor buddies saying, “‘I'm literally blowing all my family’s money.” White feared the end — until the same friend called the next day and said: “F*** it. Let’s keep going.” #60Minutes #DanaWhite #UFC

He's a soulless husk of a human. He's now groveling to saudi's who continue with human rights violations, all for that extra greed. solace

The reason Trump wanted it was cause any publicity is good publicity especially when you’re going bankrupt and need your name in the news. Where is the Taj Mahal now ?
