Dana White acknowledged the enthusiasm surrounding Trump’s entrance, comparing it to that of famous fighter Conor McGregor. White noted, “The two biggest walkouts that actually shake the arena are President Trump and Conor McGregor.”

Trump’s Support for Rising Star Bo Nickal

Ahead of the election, Trump expressed his intention to attend UFC 309 if he won. He followed through on that promise, attending the event and showing support for rising star Bo Nickal, who was preparing for a challenging match against Paul Craig.

During a conversation with Joe Rogan, Trump commented on Nickal’s impressive college career and his potential in the UFC. He stated, “When is he fighting again? After the election? So, I’ll either go as president or I’ll be depressed, and I won’t bother going.”

Trump’s presence at UFC 309 highlighted his ongoing connection with the sport, and his reception showcased his popularity among UFC fans.
