MMA fighter ‘King Bau’ used his walkout to make 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 in Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA on Friday night, 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 which read: ‘Trump was indicted before anyone on Epstein’s client list.’

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in a New York prison cell in August 2021 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. 

He was accused of running a ‘vast network’ of underage girls for sex, having previously been convicted for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Trump, meanwhile, is currently embroiled in a number of legal battles, including a civil fraud trial in New York and four criminal indictments.

It’s not the first time Bauman has used his fights to make big statements. He once claimed to fight ‘to eradicate childhood 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 ‘promoted a vast pedophile network’.

‘I think it’s about time to nuke the internet,’ the fighter said.

‘You keep censoring me and supressing me. Very interesting how you censor and supress me but Instagram boosted a pedophile network on your platform.’
