Trump has been spotted at UFC events over the years. Most recently, he was at UFC 302 in Newark for the fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier, just two days after being convicted on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
Before that, he was at UFC 299 in Miami, just hours after a rally in Georgia where he praised White.
“Dana White did a wonderful job. I hope he doesn’t run against me. He did a job. It’s a less difficult issue than politics,” Trump said at the March 9 rally.

“It’s the closest thing to an electoral procedure that we have in this country, the UFC fights. It’s a little calmer than the elections,” he joked.
Trump competed in four UFC events last year, adding UFC 287 (also in Miami) and UFC 296 (in Las Vegas) to see Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington, respectively, who showed their support for Trump. Both fighters lost their respective fights.
He attended UFC 290 in Las Vegas and UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden.
