UFC Champion Israel Adesanya Cheers for Donald Trump’s Victory in the 2024 Election
As the dust settles on the 2024 U.S. presidential election, where Donald Trump secured a surprising victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, mixed martial arts star Israel Adesanya has taken to social media to express his excitement.
In a light-hearted and spirited post, the former UFC champion shared three popcorn emojis, signaling his anticipation for the events to unfold under Trump’s leadership.
Accompanying the emojis, Adesanya wrote, “The best season of ‘Murica is upon us!! #USA” and humorously tagged, “#secretservicewasabouttoslide.” Adesanya’s enthusiastic reaction follows fellow Nigerian UFC fighter Kamaru Usman’s endorsement of Trump prior to the election.
Usman, reflecting on his political journey, stated, “Growing up Democrat and starting to understand the state of politics over the last few decades, I know how I want to live and how I want to raise my family @realDonaldTrump.” Both athletes are expected to make their returns to the octagon in 2025, but for now, they are among the prominent figures in the sports community embracing Trump’s political comeback.
In key swing states such as North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, Trump’s campaign resonated with voters, leading to his impressive win at the age of 78. As the country gears up for a new chapter in its political landscape, Adesanya’s jubilant message captures a mix of enthusiasm and humor, setting the tone for what he perceives as an exciting time in American politics.
