Presidential Brawl: Trump vs. Biden UFC Fight Slated to Determine 2024 Election Outcome
In a move that political analysts are calling “both unprecedented and somewhat inevitable,” it has been announced that the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election will be determined not by the traditional ballot box, but by a full-contact UFC match between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“In light of recent events, we decided the most clear-cut way to decide the leader of the free world is, naturally, by a no-holds-barred physical contest,” explained the White House Press Secretary during a bewildering press conference.
The upcoming bout, hilariously dubbed “Election Night: Rights and Lefts,” is already making waves around the globe. Trump, never one to back down from a challenge, was quick to tout his physical prowess. “I’m the most fit President, everybody says so. Sleepy Joe won’t stand a chance.”
Meanwhile, Biden has been less boastful, but still confident. “Look, here’s the deal,” he said, as aides hastily attempted to familiarize him with basic martial arts maneuvers. “I’ve faced bullies before, and this won’t be any different.”
The undercard for the night will feature Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell in a staring contest, while Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz are slated for a vigorous debate over who can filibuster longer without a bathroom break.
Across the nation, the announcement was met with a combination of incredulity, amusement, and dismay. MMA enthusiasts are left scratching their heads about whether to order the pay-per-view, while political pundits are scrambling to add ‘combat sports commentary’ to their resumes.
Pollsters, once the bastions of election forecasting, are now faced with a new challenge: figuring out whether approval ratings can translate to roundhouse kick abilities.
The specifics of the match are still being ironed out. There’s talk of replacing the traditional Octagon with a new venue, possibly shaped like the Oval Office or the United States itself. One thing is for sure though, it’ll be the first UFC fight where Social Security checks are valid forms of ID.
Will this surreal spectacle bring some much-needed clarity to our divided political landscape? Or will it simply devolve into an embarrassing slapstick spectacle, forever remembered as the time American politics finally jumped the shark? Only time will tell. As of now, we’re left with the image of our prospective leaders donning fight gear and stepping into the Octagon. Cue the “Rocky” music, folks, it’s about to get weird.
