Bryce Mitchell used a Wednesday media appearance to blast the Trump administration’s plan for a White House UFC card, saying the government should “protect us, not entertain us” and arguing that public money and resources should not go toward a fight night on the South Lawn. His comments came as he prepares to fight Santiago Luna at UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs. Bonfim on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
