How and why are the Trumps involved? Donald Trump is hardly new to combat sports. He's a longtime friend of Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Aging boxer Evander Holyfield and former UFC champion Vitor Belfort are fighting today. If that wasn't strange enough, former President Donald Trump is on commentary duties. This could be the weirdest combat sport event of 2021, and in a year where YouTubers Logan Paul and Jake Paul have taken over boxing, that's saying something.

The city's more than 30 casinos, along with other non-essential businesses will shut for one week and people were ordered to stay at home.

HONG KONG, July 6 (Reuters) - Macau has locked down one of the city's most famous hotels, the Grand Lisboa, after more than a dozen COVID-19 cases were found there on Tuesday, with infections spreading rapidly in the world's biggest gambling hub.

The authorities have placed more than 13,000 people under quarantine orders as the city battles to contain its biggest outbreak since the pandemic began. Macau has recorded more than 900 coronavirus infections since mid-June, prior to that it had largely been COVID-free since an outbreak in October 2021.

"I love great fighters and great fights," Donald Trump said in a press release. "I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won't want to miss this special event."

The event was supposed to take place at Staples Center in De La Hoya's hometown of Los Angeles, but it's been moved to The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. According to a report from ESPN, the California State Athletic Commission refused to sanction Holyfield-Belfort.

For the Sept. 11 event, the Trumps will offer commentary on all four of the evening's fights. But they're not the only soundtrack available. Viewers can pick between the Trumps narrating the fight, or regular commentators Jim Lampley and Shawn Porter.
