Reactions from the MMA Community

The interaction between Trump and Nurmagomedov has gone viral quickly among MMA enthusiasts. Former UFC title challenger Jake Shields commended Nurmagomedov for seizing the opportunity to convey his concerns to Trump. However, Shields expressed skepticism regarding Trump's stance, citing his unwavering support for Israel. Shields remains doubtful about whether Trump will alter his position but acknowledges the impact of Nurmagomedov's message.

Love seeing Khabib tell Trump to stop the genocide

Overall I like Trump much more than Biden but his unequivocal support for Israel is a deal-breaker for me

Almost all of his funding comes from ultra zionist so he's unlikely to switch directions but still good hes hearing it https://t.co/QgSkAMiLMS

Trump's previous stance on war

While Trump has never publicly commented on the conflict in Gaza, reports suggest his firm stance against pro-Palestinian demonstrations on US college campuses. Referred to as 'Radical Revolution,' Trump's approach raises questions about the sincerity of his purported commitment to end the Palestine war, as suggested in the viral video.
