Is Donald Trump really doing commentary for Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort.

The Triller fight club event headlined by Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort and Anderson Silva vs. Tito Ortiz just got a few degrees more weird and that’s saying a lot. According to a tweet from Dan Canobbio of Inside Boxing Live, former United States President, Donald Trump, will act as a color commentator for the event. FanSided later confirmed the report.

Yes, you read that right.

See the poster for yourself.

Yes, it’s true Donald Trump is doing commentary for Triller

The good news is that it’s “alternate” commentary, meaning you don’t have to listen to Trump talk about fighting if you don’t want to. The bad news is it looks like its really happening and that’s just … shocking.

The former president is a lifelong combat sports fan but isn’t exactly the man you’d think of first for your commentary. Also on commentary will be Donald Trump Jr., his son.

“I love great fighters and great fights. I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won’t want to miss this special event,” said Trump.
