Donald Trump’s surprise visit to UFC 287 with Dana White

Former US President Donald Trump was a surprise guest along with UFC President Dana White at UFC 287 in Miami. White posted a photo of himself with the 45th President of the United States backstage on Saturday. The UFC head honcho held up two “gold bars” that read, “UFC 287, Sold Out.”

It shouldn’t be too surprising that Trump attended UFC 287, since his Mar-a-Lago Resort is only about an hour away from the Kaseya Center, the site of the fight. White and Trump have been friends since the early days of the UFC. Trump was one of the few venue owners who welcomed the UFC when almost everyone else was trying to shut it down.

The former president attended other UFC events. He attended UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York while still in office. Trump was also seen at UFC 264 in Las Vegas.

Perhaps the only surprising aspect of Trump’s attendance at UFC 287 is that it closely follows him being indicted on criminal charges earlier this week in New York. Despite those proceedings, Trump is not known for avoiding and avoiding controversy.

On the contrary, love him or hate him, the former president tends to dive directly into any headwind that comes his way. So it’s not out of character for him to meet White at UFC 287, especially when the event is essentially in his backyard and features longtime tramp supporter Jorge Masvidal.

In fact, Masvidal was shown attending a Trump press conference at Mar-a-Lago on a recent episode of UFC 287 Embedded. The press conference took place on Tuesday night, shortly after Trump was indicted.

Masvidal squares off with Gilbert Burns in the UFC 287 co-main event. He hopes to put on an impressive performance and fight his way back into the title picture. With three losses in a row, Masvidal has already put the pressure on himself, saying he may consider retirement if he loses. Now he is with the former president to watch him fight.
