Justin Gaethje urges Republican turnout during speech at Dallas
\nconvention<\/h2>\n

He urged Republican supporters to vote with the same fervor as they
\ndid in the 2024 presidential election. Gaethje also believes
\nPresident Trump and the Republican Party want the best for
\neveryone, even their political competitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fighting, your last fight is how people remember you, but your
\nnext fight is the only one that matters,\u201d Gaethje said. \u201cEverybody
\nhas to understand how important these elections are and we have to
\nget out and vote. One mistake I’ve made in my career was becoming
\ncomplacent while I was on a winning streak and forgetting how
\nunforgiving my sport can be. If we are not just as passionate about
\nvoting and winning in these midterms as we were in the last
\npresidential election, then we risk getting knocked out and losing
\nall the momentum we have been fighting for. Everything we want for
\nthe future of America is at stake. I want to live under a
\nconservative form of government in a free and capitalist society.
\nAnd I truly believe President Trump wants the best for every
\nAmerican, no matter the political side of the aisle they fall
\non.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apart from Gaethje, Bo Nickal<\/a>
\n(9-1) also spoke at the convention. Nickal thanked Trump for his
\nconstant support and the opportunity to compete at
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> at the White House this past June.<\/p>\n

Trump is a close friend of UFC CEO Dana
\nWhite<\/a> and has also had the support of several UFC stars
\npreviously. Colby
\nCovington<\/a>, Jorge
\nMasvidal<\/a> and Henry
\nCejudo<\/a>, among others, have previously taken to the stage to
\npublicly back Trump.<\/p>\n
