MMA fan Sean Hannity of FOX News ‘Hannity’ trains in MMA. Moderating big debate on his show

Sean Hannity knows a good fight, whether its battling verbally with some guests on his popular TV show “Hannity” on FOX News Channel, or attending/watching UFC MMA events, led by his good friend Dana White.

Hannity is not only an MMA fan, but he is also trained in the sport, receiving top quality lessons, sessions from his sensei, training partners and also UFC legend Chuck Liddell (circa 2015).

Hannity appreciates and respects that discipline of fighting, utilizing his work for self-defense purposes, if needed. Hopefully, it never comes to that in public, but when you are a top political style figure, a voice for the conservative side, Republicans, it can upset others, especially Democrats, and vice-versa.

Hannity hopes people can have their opinions and views and still respect each other. He would rather shake hands and buy a drink for someone who opposes his views, rather than get into any physical altercation.

In my audio interview above with Sean Hannity, he discusses MMA, his training, his show, people, politics, and the debate he is moderating on his show.

The Great Debate

On ‘Hannity’ on FNC

FOX News Channel’s Sean Hannity will moderate a red vs. blue state debate between Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom on Nov. 30. The 90-minute debate, which will occur in Georgia, will air on FNC’s Hannity at 9 PM/ET.

Hannity first raised the prospect of a debate with Governor Newsom during his exclusive sit-down this past June, following which, Governor DeSantis officially signed on to participate in July. This will mark the first time the two prominent governors will face off in a debate.

In commenting on the announcement, Hannity said, “I’m looking forward to providing viewers with an informative debate about the everyday issues and governing philosophies that impact the lives of every American.”

For more than two decades, Hannity has been known for his provocative style and unique connection with his audience. Each night, his prime-time program features a signature monologue where he breaks down trending topics of the day, followed by headline-generating interviews.

Hannity ended August 2023 as the No.1-rated program in cable news in the 25-54 demo and averages 2.4-million viewers each night year-to-date, routinely ranking in the top five programs overall.

Throughout his FNC tenure, he has interviewed numerous key newsmakers and political figures, including most recently actor and director Sean Penn, former President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then-President George W. Bush, then-Vice President Dick Cheney, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), Rev. Jesse Jackson, as well as Sylvester Stallone, Roseanne Barr, Kim Kardashian, Mel Gibson, Michael Moore, Michael Phelps, Richard Petty, Charlie Daniels, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Conor McGregor.

The show’s ratings success has spanned each of his prime-time timeslots for more than 25 years. His eponymous program has dominated the cable news landscape, ranking No.1 in its time slot with both viewers and in the 25-54 demographic for 13 consecutive years since launching as a solo hour in January 2009, according to Nielsen Media Research.
