UFC fighters around the world had much to say regarding the conflict of several nations, which resulted in the United States bombing Iran’s nuclear sites.
The world could be on the brink of something catastrophic, with people beginning to believe a third World War could be on its way. Despite the turmoil and uncertainty of what is to come, mixed martial artists took to social media to make their thoughts clear on the worrying events.
A proud Donald Trump announced a successful attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, but not everybody is as stoked as the US President.
Sean Strickland led the way for those who opposed Trump’s actions. He took to X to announce his displeasure at the recent events that have shocked the world.
“What happened to America first?” Strickland said in a social media post. “Cost of living, staggering wages, inflation.”
“How does spending [hundreds] of millions to bomb the desert people help the average [American]? Regime change?”
“I didn’t vote for my tax dollars to defend Israel. I voted for my tax dollars to help Americans.”
What happened to America first? Cost of living, staggering wages, inflation.
How does spending 100s of millions to bomb the desert people help the average America? Regime change?
I didnt vote for my tax dollars to defend Israel. I voted for my tax dollars to help Americans.

The vast majority of people seem to be siding against Donald Trump after the news broke of the recent global conflict.
Despite their differences, both Jake Shields and Mike Jackson were unhappy with how Trump has managed the weight of being the president of the United States.
One of Trump’s main campaign promises was no more Middle Eastern wars
How is MAGA gonna pretend war with Iran is good for America?
