Comedian Stavros Halkias delivered a scathing critique of the Ultimate Fighting Championship during an appearance at SiriusXM's "Built With Audio" event at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York City on October 6, 2026. Halkias described the UFC as "a MAGA suck-off," referencing what he perceives as the organization's alignment with right-wing political movements.
The remarks were made during the SiriusXM event, where Halkias spoke onstage. A photograph from the event shows the comedian at the podium at the Perelman Performing Arts Center.
