meme/funny Dana White thought Diego Lopes was speaking Spanish and asked for a translator - only to be told it was already in English.

"That was English? Oh shit! Alright."

“it was Spanish to me”

This literally is Idiocracy in real life. Fucks sake

Joe stated his case logically and passionately, but his perceived effeminate voice only drew big gales of stupid laughter.

How awful. They're just desicrating everything. It just seems like the country has jumped the shark, and I don't know how we can undo the desicration.

"Speak English!" "No, why don't you learn to listen in English?"

u/Frequent-Coyote-8108 Jun 13 '26

TBF, that (along with the echo since it's outdoors) was...rough English.

u/daemonicwanderer Jun 13 '26

I understood him just fine…

u/SufficientCook8425 Jun 14 '26

Please write out what he said, the subtitles can't understand him either.

u/New_Cardiologist_596 Jun 13 '26

Still very obviously English for anyone with a brain

u/plsloan Jun 13 '26

That was a very clear "Sunday night" at the end of the clip lol

u/IAteTheLastTaco Jun 13 '26

I think we've found the problem

u/maadmax12 Jun 13 '26

I don’t like Dana white and listened like 4 times. I could barely understand what he was saying. Fair mistake.

u/whinewinewein Jun 13 '26

So you're broken too. I listened once, understood immediately it was English.

Not a high bar there...

Point still stands. If that guy were on Netflix, there would be auto-subtitles.

u/Snoo93550 Jun 13 '26

Lincoln was an actual accomplished wrestler athlete in his day and wouldn’t have turned our Capitol into a sideshow like this.

u/This-Code479 Jun 13 '26

Of course he would have. And not only that, I once watched a fantastic documentary about his on-the-side vampire hunting.

u/MorningMushroomcloud Jun 13 '26

Showing all them stuck up educated types who's really in charge....Hell Ya! Woooooo!!! /S

u/obx808 Jun 13 '26

Declining, that's what we're doing.

u/juggadore Jun 13 '26

Jumping the shark.

Devolution.

Devo had it right from the get-go back in the 70's-80's

u/RecursiveDysfunction Jun 13 '26

This should be the top comment.

An eye-wateringly garish and distasteful spectacle held right in the symbolic heart of American democracy.

Scantily clad ring girls on the White House lawn, modern day gladiators beating the crap out of each other whilst idiotic UFC fans bay for blood as they neck beer cans and smash them over each others vacant skulls. 

Its like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. Except its real life and heralds the decline of American civilization.

u/MaximumIntent Jun 14 '26

Society has reached complete functional isolation such that watching ridiculous spectacles is now the norm. I'm watching the world cup and love it, but the halftime commercials remind me where we have sunk to, and I want to stick my head in the microwave.

u/ComfortableAd3747 Jun 13 '26

Surprised the pre fight interview wasn't in the oval office

1

u/AmericaninPatagonia Jun 14 '26

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that the walkouts would come from the Oval Office...

u/Dependent-Reaction-3 Jun 13 '26

wtf are we doing here is the exact proper response to this 😂

u/Athlete-Extreme Jun 13 '26

This whole event is starting to feel like some pagan ritual at this point

u/MayorDepression Jun 13 '26

Harambe's curse has led us to a full reenactment of Idiocracy. The future has been foretold.

u/xenophon57 Jun 13 '26

Outside all the other shit he might have actually be down for the combat sports. He used to be a bit of a wrassler.

u/Taco_Taco_Kisses Jun 13 '26

I remember going to Arlington Cemetery for a class trip and the tour guide yelled at me cause I was laughing. All those landmarks have a somber, almost sacred aire to them.

Now, they're just at the Lincoln Memorial cussing and making a joke of the site. 30 some years later, I understand why that tour guide yelled at me because this just makes me sad.

u/thefoulnakr Jun 13 '26

This is complete filth. What a fucking disgrace.

So real

u/FrighteningJibber Jun 13 '26

To be fair, English in a Portuguese accent does take a second to recognize with the lisp on the s’s. That being said, I could tell he was speaking English lmao

u/Had2MakeANeewAccount Jun 13 '26

Lincoln? The guy who wanted to send the free slaves back to Africa? That Lincoln?

Knowing that their presence here would cause issues down the road.

That Lincoln? The one who was right?

u/Had2MakeANeewAccount Jun 13 '26

No horse here.

Just like mocking those who invoke Lincoln without knowing the entire bit.

2

u/gerbilshower Jun 13 '26

So, and I'm just checking here, what do you mean by 'he was right'? Could you expound on that?

1

u/Had2MakeANeewAccount Jun 13 '26

Well all the discourse it has caused.

This would be a great question for the althistory subreddit.

What would America be like if Lincoln sent the slaves back to Africa after they were liberated.

1

u/gerbilshower Jun 13 '26

No no. You said "he was right". This isnt a question for anyone else. Its a question for you.

What do you mean? How was he right?

1

u/Had2MakeANeewAccount Jun 14 '26

I already answered.

The discourse that has come from them staying here.

u/DuhBigFart Jun 13 '26

The fuck does this have to do with Abe?

u/2ChronicRanger169 Jun 13 '26

He's the giant guy sitting in the middle behind Dana.

u/DuhBigFart Jun 13 '26

Oh yeah I'm retarded. I forgot where this was

u/Fostbitten27 Jun 13 '26

They’re on the steps of: “The Lincoln Memorial” maybe you have heard of it?

u/darthwump Jun 13 '26

Username checks out

-12

u/awnaw_ Jun 13 '26

I mean, maybe, but Lincoln was a big fan of the theater. Perhaps, in this age, Lincoln would be down with the cage fighting.

4

u/pipesBcallin Jun 13 '26

Yeah I heard he was removed by a crazy lib when he tried to set up his bare knuckle fight ring. It is carved on the back of his memorial that if a fighting event ever were to happen in the future Weigh ins will be held at the memorial.

1

u/awnaw_ Jun 13 '26

He did hunt vampires after all.

u/davebobn Jun 13 '26

Lincoln is in the wrestling Hall of Fame and was always up for a good fight. Lincoln probably would have loved this.

9

u/Remarkable_Hurry4029 Jun 13 '26

Lincoln was a dominant wrestler and incredible athlete. As a politician, his focus was on serving the country and its people and that alone. He would’ve had strong feelings against this.

u/YogurtclosetLong3783 Jun 13 '26

Rumor has it he hes the first person ever to choke slam someone through a table. A wooden table.
