Donald Trump was given the ‘Black card’ by UFC middleweight Kevin Holland after his win at UFC 302 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday.
After scoring a first-round stoppage over Michal Oleksiejczuk, Trailblazer stepped out of the cage and shared a few words with the former president to celebrate his victory.
Post-fight, Holland joked about what Trump said to him during the exchange before giving Trump the ‘N-word’ pass.
‘I just told him “What’s up, Mr. President,” and he was like “What’s up my n****,”‘ Holland quipped while speaking to Full Send. ‘So it was good.’
‘Trump, if you ever wanna say that, you can say that,’ Holland added, looking at the camera. ‘I give you the black card right here, right now my boy.’

Holland celebrated with Trump after scoring a first round finish over Michal Oleksiejczuk
‘I hear you hire a lot of black people as it is anyway. Shoutout to Trump.’
Trump, a regular at UFC events, received a deafening welcome when he walked into the venue ahead of the main card.
Besides Holland, former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland celebrated with Trump after beating Paulo Costa in the co-main event.
The fan favorite’s finish came after Oleksiejczuk took him down early into the fight. Holland, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, used his experience to sprawl and eventually transition into a nasty arm bar.
And while the American was yelling at his opponent – seemingly warning him about a possible broken arm – Oleksiejczuk refused to submit and referee Herb Dean was forced to step in.

Oleksiejczuk’s arm appeared to be on the verge of snapping after it was brutally yanked on by Holland, who had to reposition several times.
Incredibly, he complained about Dean’s stoppage at first but eventually seemed to respect it.
With the win, Holland made up for consecutive losses in his last two showings and moved to a 26-11 MMA record.
