In a prior speech, Donald Trump had an idea to pit UFC champion against migrants. He explained:

“I wanted those Penn State guys to wrestle the migrants. You know, the UFC, Dana White? I told Dana to set up a league of champions—unbelievable fighters, the best in the world—and then a migrant league. At the end, I’d want the migrant to go against the champion. And I think the migrant might actually win. That’s how tough some of these guys are. But honestly? I don’t know, I doubt it. I tell ya.”
