Former UFC champion Conor McGregor lashed out at former President Donald Trump over who the politician chose to call one of his favorite UFC fighters.Trump appeared on a livestream with 23-year-old content creator Adin Ross, which spawned several viral clips including from a Tesla Cybertruck and the former president's iconic dance moves.During a sit-down portion of the unorthodox interview, Ross asked the former president about his passion for mixed martial arts.'I would have thought USA ONLY would be the mentality here.'"I know you're a UFC fan; who are your favorite fighters?" Ross said."I think Khabib [Nurmagomedov] ... you know who Khabib is?" Trump replied. "Khabib was 29-0 ... but I don't think he ever lost a round. I think he was great."Trump quickly recalled a story about meeting the now-retired fighter at UFC 302 in June 2024, where Nurmagomedov asked him about the Israel-Palestine war. Trump then revealed that the undefeated fighter also talked to him about the Russia-Ukraine war."I met Khabib, and [he said], 'You're the man who can stop the war,' the war with Ukraine and Russia.""Because he knows there is people on both sides, with so many people dying on both sides," Trump continued. "We weren't talking about fighting, we were talking about a different kind of fighting, a much worse kind of fighting. He was very concerned about that whole thing."While the unique interview was seen as a victory for Gen Z Trump supporters and provided a lot of entertainment, McGregor was extremely displeased with the 45th president's choice of fighters.In a series of now-deleted posts on X, McGregor lambasted Trump for highlighting Nurmagomedov over American fighters."Campaign ending decision. A smelly fat mountain monkey from inbred mountains of Dagestan is your favorite UFC (AMERICAN COMPANY) fighter? Wow. Abysmal," McGregor wrote.The Irishman also asserted that Trump is not actually a billionaire before scolding him over not being "USA ONLY.""I was actually wrong. Couple hundred million he is worth. Not multi B. I would have thought USA ONLY would be the mentality here and what I would want to see out of my president, personally," McGregor said, according to BJPenn.com."Over all the American fighters that have backed him. It's a shocking decision. He was caught on the spot. That won't go unnoticed on the roster. This presidential race is very tight right now. More so now.”McGregor then threw more insults at the retired Nurmagomedov with a since-deleted photo of him and his training partners in a hot tub."Trumps favorite fighter. here he is in a tiny tub with his fellow inbred pals in Dagestan. Can you spot him? Where's Khabib? Find Khabib," McGregor continued."To pick a retired inbred fighter from Dagestan Russia who has 3 main events only to his name is astounding."The two fighters had an extremely volatile rivalry leading up to their fight at UFC 229 in 2018.Not only did the McGregor and Nurmagomedov continuously exchange harsh words in press conferences, McGregor shocked fans when he threw a dolly into the window of a UFC bus that had Nurmagomedov and other fighters sitting on it.Nurmagomedov went on to win the fight by a neck crank submission in the fourth round.Like Blaze News?

Massachusetts has taken bail reform to a new level, forcing law-abiding taxpayers to shoulder the added cost of springing defendants from jail at night or on weekends, when courthouses are typically closed.Since 2002, defendants in Massachusetts who want to be released from custody after hours have forked over a $40 fee to pay for a bail commissioner or magistrate to come to a police station to approve bail transactions or release the defendants on their own recognizance.'This shows how out of touch these politicians have become, completely severed from reality.'However, civil rights and social justice groups have since argued that such a system has a disproportional effect on certain racial groups, the Eagle Tribune claimed, and unfairly targets those of low income.Those arguments seem to have won the day. Last week, far-left Gov. Maura Healey signed a budget that not only doubles the fee to $80 but that shifts that cost to the Trial Court — and by extension, to state taxpayers."The trial court shall be responsible for paying fees charged to take bail outside of regular working hours and any fee charged under this section for a bail taken outside of regular working hours shall be charged only to the trial court. Fee splitting arrangements are prohibited," the relevant section of the budget reads in part.After fronting the $80 cost, bail commissioners or magistrates will then bill the Trial Court for reimbursement. Massachusetts lawmakers have already earmarked $4.8 million in the fiscal year 2025 budget to cover these costs.Trial Court spokeswoman Jennifer Donahue believes that this arrangement is much more just for alleged offenders, telling the Eagle Tribune that it lifts the "financial burden from the individuals who can least afford it."Donahue also noted that the change will likely encourage remote arraignments, further alleviating the inconveniences suffered by the accused. Remote hearings "shorten the time that individuals are held in custody, especially in rural areas, where traveling to the custodial facility could require an hour or more of travel," she claimed.MassFiscal spokesman Paul Craney disagrees, noting that the system is already overrun and that the $4.8 million allocated for the new policy could be better spent elsewhere. "The state budget has become so bloated, and lawmakers are abusing the taxpayers to such a degree, that now Statehouse politicians think it’s ok to have taxpayers fund bail," Craney told Blaze News."This shows how out of touch these politicians have become, completely severed from reality."Like Blaze News?

MSNBC viewers were outraged at the progressive cable news channel after its celebrated polling expert outlined why he believes Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will not help the Democratic ticket much. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris named Walz her candidate for vice president on Tuesday, leading many pundits to believe she was trying to shore up support among Midwest voters. 'You guys are f***ing just begging for all the right wing viewers. CLOWNS.'Steve Kornacki blew up that narrative by pointing to Walz's less than impressive electoral performance during recent elections. "This is where Democrats have lost ground, and Walz, in 2022, he didn’t gain any ground that the Democrats had lost. He didn't do that here; he didn't do that in other counties," said Kornacki while pointing to vote tallies. "This idea that he’s got automatic appeal with these small-town areas in those three key battleground states, you don’t see it in what he actually did on the ballot in 2022." While Kornacki is popular among most viewers, many were furious at his lack of loyalty to the Democratic Party. "Caught Kornacki on the radio while I was out. I swear that fcker searched every county in MN and chose the ones Walz did poorly in, just to have something negative to say," responded one viewer. "I guess you didn’t notice Dems flipped the legislature in Pa & Mn in the time frame you’re talking about … you have zero business being on the air," said another user. "Dude, wft of wrong with you? Can you really not wait a couple hours before raining down your little narcissistic pessimism? This is unbelievably stupid, truly," read another reply. "Jesus u guys must be really hurting for views too!? Adding u to the blocked list cya STEVE! All cnn and msnbc now moving to individual accounts. You guys are f***ing just begging for all the right wing viewers. CLOWNS," said another vibrant commentator. Republicans meanwhile assailed Walz for his support of transgender policies and for lax law enforcement during the violent George Floyd rioting in 2020. Like Blaze News?

JD Vance is making the rounds after former President Donald Trump picked him as vice presidential running mate — and he’s absolutely destroying the left’s image of him, as well as the left's image of Trump, in the process. “He’s pushing back on the left’s characterization that he’s weird,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” explains. “The people who call me weird want to give hormone therapies and sterilize 9-year-olds,” Vance said on the "Full Send Podcast." “A lot weirder than me just living a normal life with my kids and my wife.” “But this is what they do, I think, is they latch onto a message and they try to sell it even if it’s fake,” he continued. He then went on to champion the former president. “Trump’s superpower in politics is he just doesn’t give a s**t, right? He doesn’t care what they say about him. He’s going to be himself, he’s going to tell jokes, he’s going to say things that drive some people off a wall,” he said, noting that when you actually listen to what he’s saying, it always makes sense.Keith Malinak is under the impression that everything Vance said on the podcast, like Trump, makes a lot of sense. “To JD Vance’s point,” Malinak comments, “you’re the party that wants to change the sex of children. Who’s weird?” When JD Vance was then pressed by a CNN reporter to denounce Trump’s comments on Kamala Harris’ race — as the father of three biracial children himself — he continued to impress. “All he said is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes to Georgia two days ago, she was raised in Canada, she puts on a fake southern accent. She is everything, everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she’s in front of,” Vance calmly shot back. “I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,” he added.
