Andrew Tate makes outrageous claim he fought and beat SIXTY people in marathon MMA session lasting THREE hours
Andrew Tate has once again set social media ablaze after claiming he fought 60 men back-to-back in an event held in Dubai. The 38-year-old former kickboxing world champion - better known in recent years for his controversial internet persona - shared clips of the apparent event to his millions of followers online. The footage appears to show Tate inside a cage-style octagon, going toe-to-toe with dozens of rotating opponents. The fights reportedly lasted several hours, with each challenger facing Tate for a single three-minute round. At least one participant was left heavily bleeding from the face, while others limped away from the cage clearly battered and bruised. The event was organised privately and featured members of Tate's own mentorship group, The War Room. Andrew Tate just held an event where he fought 60 guys for 3 minutes each 😳 — Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) May 10, 2025 Andrew Tate has again set social media ablaze after claiming he fought 60 men back-to-back In a post on X, Tate wrote: I put a message in Thewarroom one month ago with a time and a date. Saying I would fight any member who shows up. 'Yesterday I fought 60 men, back to back. One 3min round each, 1min break. Everybody hurts. Nobody could stop me. War is forever.' The nature of the fights - whether full contact, sparring-level, or partially choreographed - remains unclear. Many of his fans have praised the spectacle as a testament to strength, with one saying: 'That impressive you have to admit'. Another wrote: 'That's raw discipline and mental fortitude. Most people fold under pressure, but going through 60 rounds shows a level of grit few can match. Pain is temporary, warrior spirit is eternal.' Meanwhile, others were critical of the event as they blasted Tate for taking on untrained fighters given his professional combat experience. 'He must feel so alpha fighting people who don't know how to properly throw a punch,' one critic posted on X. Another wrote: 'He's been training and fighting since a teenager. NONE of his opponents had ANY experience. He might as well have been fighting children.' Influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Tate has 10.7million followers on social media platform X, expressing views including that women are the 'property' of men. He faces allegations of sexual assault in the UK and of human trafficking in Romania, which he denies.

Top Trump Ally Says Elon Musk Is a "Parasitic Illegal Immigrant"
Long before Elon Musk became Donald Trump's buddy-in-chief, the real estate mogul had another right-hand man: Steve Bannon. Bannon was a right-wing media crank, alleged white supremacist, and self-described "economic nationalist." He served as Trump's chief strategist from Trump's first inauguration until August 2017, when Trump let him go just a semester later. Now the former Trump staffer is back in as a Trump-allied media figure — where he's been taking some fiery shots at Musk's unelected role. "Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant," a wound-up Bannon told UnHerd, a right-wing British publication. "He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country's history, values, or traditions." It's true that Musk's immigration status during his early in the United States was dubious, with his brother recalling that "we were illegal immigrants." But like many people fortunate enough to be able to access sound legal aid, he was able to fix his status and eventually gained US citizenship in 2002. If you imagined that gave him sympathy for others in a similar bind, you'd be wrong; just today, he was mocking the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. Nevertheless, the tiff does illustrate a tension in Trump's current orbit. Bannon's media venture, "The War Room," is a widely popular conservative talk show in which Bannon and his guests spout national populism talking points — so while both are allied with Trump, Bannon represents a decidedly different brand of MAGA compared to Musk's techno-libertarianism. The former Trump staffer frequently blasts the president's new Silicon Valley buddies Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, whom he refers to as billionaire elites, using the same type of populist rhetoric Trump invoked when running for his first term. He's not wrong — the two tech billionares had a combined net worth of nearly $666 billion at the time of Trump's second inauguration (though not nearly as wealthy, Bannon doesn't exactly represent the little guy either — he's worth an estimated $20 million.) Comments like these aren't new for Bannon, who in early January called Musk a "truly evil guy, a very bad guy," vowing it was his "personal thing to take this guy down." It's an interesting invective coming from Bannon, whose role as "chief strategist" has some parallels to Musk's role as "senior advisor to the president." At one time called the "second most powerful man in the world," Bannon's gig was tailor-made for him by Trump, just as Musk's was made up by executive order. Bannon's tenure as Trump's lapdog was also derided by the media, and his meddling in agencies like the National Security Agency were likewise mired in secrecy as he took defacto control of national security policy. We don't know how long Musk's unelected term will last, but we might have a good blueprint — Bannon's tenure ended in disgrace eight months in, and the fallout resulted in numerous investigations as well as a four-month prison stint, which may weigh in the sentencing of his most recent guilty plea for conspiracy and money laundering. If Musk's critics have one thing to hope for, it's that the mogul will follow the path blazed by Bannon — which ultimately leads to the courtroom.

Ex-Trump aide Bannon pleads guilty in US border wall fraud case
Steve Bannon, a former advisor to US President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to defrauding donors who contributed money to a private scheme to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. Bannon, 71, entered a guilty plea to New York state charges as part of an agreement with prosecutors that spared him prison time. Bannon was indicted in 2022 for his role in a project called "We Build the Wall," which involved private fundraising to build the southern border wall. Bannon, one of the masterminds behind Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, also faced federal charges over the scheme but received a pardon at the end of the Republican's first term in the White House. The right-wing ideologue pleaded guilty to a state charge Tuesday of involvement in a "scheme to defraud in the first degree" and was given a three-year conditional discharge, which does not involve jail time or restitution. Bannon served nearly four months in prison last year after being convicted of contempt of Congress. He was sent to jail for defying a subpoena to testify before the congressional panel investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters. Bannon served in the White House during Trump's first term as his chief strategist, but he left after seven months, reportedly due to conflicts with other top staffers. Though he no longer works officially for Trump, he has remained a vocal backer of the Republican president, mainly through his podcast "The War Room." arb/cl/aha
