UFC star Jorge Masvidal gave a stirring endorsement of President Donald Trump as he called out Democrats for their “false promises.”
The professional mixed martial artist currently with the Ultimate Fighting Championship as a welterweight star has been campaigning across South Florida with the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., as part of a “Fighters Against Socialism” tour. He slammed Democrats in a recent speech for their attempts to “pander” to Latinos to get their vote.
“I’m gonna let you in on something,” he said Sunday at the American Top Team MMA Gym in Coconut Creek.
“The Democrats just think they’re entitled to the Latino vote. They think that we just have to hand it over to them. That’s right. We sure as hell don’t,” Masvidal told the crowd.
“They’ve got to show us what they can do for us, what they can do for our communities,” the 36-year-old Cuban-American who was born and raised in Miami continued before quoting former President Barack Obama who said “elections have consequences.”

WELL SAID @GamebredFighter
Trump is like our coach & before the pandemic we were winning! Best Economy! You don’t replace a winning coach with a man that’s been coaching for almost 50 yrs & never won a effing game! 💥

“Those words have never been more true than they are today. We either reelect President Trump and keep America great, ” he said as the crowd broke into cheers. “Or we let Joe Biden destroy the greatest country the world has ever seen,” Masvidal said as he concluded with a fitting sports analogy.
Comparing Trump to a “head coach,” the UFC fighter said the nation was “winning Super Bowls” before the coronavirus pandemic.
“And when you’re winning Super Bowls, you don’t fire the coach. It doesn’t matter that you don’t like the plays he runs, the players he puts on the field or what he says on Twitter,” Masvidal said. “You sure as hell don’t replace him for another coach that’s been in the business for 47 years at every level and never won a f—ing game.”
The “Fighters Against Socialism” tour kicked off last week at the Tampa Convention Center and made stops in Orlando, Coconut Creek and finally in Miami.
In the full speech from Coconut Creek, Masvidal spoke of the Latino community in his appeal for voters to support Trump.
“I do know Latinos,” he said. “Latinos are not lazy. Latinos are not looking for a handout, we don’t want free stuff — we want freedom and opportunity. We want know that our hard work and sacrifice is going to pay off so we can get our piece of the American dream.
At “Fighters against Socialism” yesterday, we heard MMA Fighter Jorge Masvidal explain it best: “Latinos are not lazy,… not looking for ‘free stuff’,… we want FREEDOM! OPPORTUNITY! Take a listen. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/jLDB8jacOy

“We owe it to our parents and grandparents who risked their lives to get over to this great American country,” he added.
Masvidal recently posted a photo of himself with Trump Jr., citing their similar diet choices.
I knew @realDonaldTrump was legit when his son @DonaldJTrumpJr told me we share the same diet plan. Good food. Good hair. Good riddance socialism. pic.twitter.com/kLBvvPGAtl

“Since I was about knee high I’ve been hearing about the horrors of communism and socialism,” the UFC star whose father fled communist Cuba on a raft, told the Florida crowd Sunday as he warned of efforts by Biden and the radical left to “take us down the slippery slopes of socialism and misery.”
