Donald Trump is getting into the MMA business.
Seriously.
The Donald has bought into Affliction, and will make the announcement
official at a press conference on Thursday. Also at that press conference,
Trump will announce that former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski has
officially signed with Affliction.
The executive vice president of The Trump Organization and special counsel
to Donald J. Trump, Michael D. Cohen, confirmed the news earlier this
evening.
www.mmanewsdesk.com can now
confirm that Trump intends on announcing that he has become an equity
partner in the Affliction promotion. When questioned on how much of the company
Trump has purchased, Cohen would only say "a significant amount."
Cohen was also asked about Trump's relationship with Tito Ortiz, and whether
Tito would become a part of the organization. Cohen, already sounding like
a promoter, said, "Everything that Donald Trump does is the biggest and
the best, and the Afflcition: Banned show will be just that. Due to the
status of the Trump mark, and Donald Trump as a mogul business man, Mr. Trump
has received dozens of phone calls from fighters who are interested in joining
the Affliction family."
It's Vince vs Ted Turner all over again, only this time it's Dana White vs
Donald Trump.
