Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump made an explosive entrance at UFC 290 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada Saturday night; he made his way ringside to Kid Rock’s American Badass.
Trump was accompanied by UFC President Dana White and shook hands with supporters on the way to his seat; even Joe Rogan got some words with the Don.
But that’s not the only celeb to rub elbows with Forty-Five.
From The Daily Wire:
Throughout the night, Trump was photographed with podcast host Joe Rogan, director Mel Gibson, and even celebrity chef Guy Fieri, host of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Podcast host Benny Johnson captioned a photo of the former president with Fieri, “Trump in Flavor Town,” referring to the celebrity chef’s nickname, the “Mayor of Flavortown.”
UFC 290 is the headline event of International Fight Week, which began on July 3 and ends Sunday. Trump and White are known to be friends, with White speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2016 and 2020 to support Trump. The former president is a frequent spectator at UFC events, attending UFC 287 in April and inspiring a “USA!” chant. In 2019, as president, Trump attended a UFC event at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
