The column argues that the UFC's White House fight card, billed by Trump and Dana White as a historic spectacle, is overrated and overpriced, delivering only two title fights amid a lineup of pro-Trump fighters and missing marquee stars, while UFC's shift to Paramount+ under Endeavor has reduced blockbuster pay-per-views, turning the event into political theater rather than a must-watch MMA card.
