MMA fighter “King Bau” used his strike to take a bold political stand, questioning why former President Donald Trump “was indicted before anyone on (Jeffrey) Epstein’s client list.”
The 32-year-old fought Friday night at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA, losing a split decision to Curtis Millender in Biloxi, Mississippi.
As he made his way to the octagon, King Bau – real name Joel Bauman – wore gold shorts and a black T-shirt that read: “Trump was indicted before anyone on Epstein’s client list.”
Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in a New York jail cell in August 2021 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
He was accused of running an ‘extensive network’ of underage girls for sex, which he had previously done convicted of inciting a minor to prostitution.

Last year, Maxwell’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was jailed for 20 years for helping the former financier abuse young girls.
Maxwell was convicted of recruiting and trafficking four teenage girls for sexual abuse by the billionaire.
Trump, meanwhile, is embroiled in a number of legal battles, including a civil fraud lawsuit in New York and four criminal charges.
Two concern his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, while one concerns his handling of classified documents and another concerns false accounting allegations involving hush money.

It is not the first time that Bauman has used his fights to make big statements. He once claimed that he was fighting “to eradicate child malnutrition from the planet.”
He also previously took aim at Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg during a post-fight interview after a report found Instagram’s algorithms were “promoting a massive pedophile network.”
“I think it’s time to bomb the Internet,” the fighter said.
“You continue to censor and oppress me. Very interesting how you censor and oppress me, but Instagram has boosted a pedophile network on your platform.”
