UFC fighter Brandon Royval slammed a series of cage matches set to take place at the White House next June, comparing the event to the dystopian book series “The Hunger Games.”

“I don’t give a s‑‑‑ about fighting at the f‑‑‑ing White House,” he said during a Monday appearance on the “In the Arena MMA” podcast.

“I don’t give a f‑‑‑ about any of our political figures right now, and it’s like to fight in front of them seems like some f‑‑‑ing ‘Hunger Games’ type of f‑‑‑ing s‑‑‑. I don’t give a f‑‑‑ to fight in front of some f‑‑‑ing billionaires and rich people that could give a s‑‑‑ less about me. Probably throwing parlays. F‑‑‑ you guys,” he added.

Royval, who’s nicknamed “Raw Dawg,” said he’d rather fight in front of fans “who can relate to me.”

“Also, I’m too Mexican-looking. ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is suspiciously arresting motherf‑‑‑ers, and I don’t know. Who knows, bro? Next thing you know, I’m in Mexico and I don’t speak Spanish,” he added.

Former MMA fighter Ronda Rousey shared similar sentiments when asked in September if she’d participate in the face-offs on the White House South Lawn for President Trump’s birthday.

The event will include fireworks, light shows and fanfare spread out across the National Mall.

Dana White, the CEO of UFC and a close friend of Trump, is planning the unprecedented event with legendary fighter Conor McGregor expected to be listed on the fight card.

In October, White said, “We have not started negotiating any fights for the White House yet.”

However, he noted match-ups will start shaping up in February, months ahead of the June event.

“This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America’s monumental 250th anniversary,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Wall Street Journal last month.

Trump should fight, prove just how tough he is. That is, if he doesn’t get bone spurs.
