While the cage fights are extremely brutal and bloody the UFC does prohibit, among other things:
1. Intentionally attempting to break an opponent's bone
2. Spiking an opponent to the canvas on the head or neck

Trump is a longtime fan of violent, mixed martial arts fighting. In August, just 15 minutes after he expressed condolences for victims of the El Paso shootings, he tweeted a photo of himself with Colby Covington, an MMA champion.
"The haters are saying I'm the underdog," Covington once said. "You know who else was the underdog? The ruler of our nation Donald Trump. And just like Trump I'm gonna grab these pussies and put them in their place."
UFC president Dana White has praised Trump for backing the UFC early on—including agreeing to host fights at his venues and watching from the front row. “Nobody took us seriously. Nobody. Except Donald Trump. Donald was the first guy to recognize the potential we saw in the UFC”
Some UFC attendees heard boos....
But Don Jr. saw magic...
Lost amid the debate about how many boos or cheers there were — and if Trump made an “electrifying entrance” — is how bonkers it is that the president of the United States thrives on attending and marketing events built around what John McCain once called “human cockfighting.”
