3. The former President believes the UFC has better judging than boxing

Despite fan outrage about MMA judging, Trump actually believes we have it better than our boxing counterparts.

"You know the decision-making in UFC. I never thought about it. It's rare that really you disagree with a decision, it's very rare. In boxing you would see, I've seen some fights that were so bad where a guy was pummeled for whatever number of rounds," Trump said.

Trump pointed out a fight where Gennady Golovkin dominated and ultimately "got screwed" and wasn't awarded the decision. The fight in question is Canelo Álvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin 1 in 2017.
