Former President Donald Trump made a surprising appearance at the Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) match on Saturday, where he was met with applause and chants against his successor, Joe Biden. Trump entered The Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, accompanied by UFC President Dana White, shaking hands with people in the stands as they cheered him on.
A video clip of Trump’s arrival at the event was shared on Twitter by UFC on TNT Sports, showing the former president receiving a warm welcome from the audience. The caption read, “President Donald Trump is in the building! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸#UFC302 | LIVE on TNT Sports & discovery.
During the match, it was reported that some segments of the crowd began to chant “Fuck Joe Biden,” although the extent of these chants remains unclear. Robby Starbuck tweeted a video of the moment, captioning it, “The @ufc audience has broken out in a chant and I don’t think @JoeBiden’s gonna like it.” He went on to comment on the current political climate in America, suggesting that Trump’s appearance at the UFC match may be indicative of growing dissatisfaction with Biden’s presidency.
Trump’s attendance at the UFC event comes just days after a jury found him guilty on 34 counts for falsifying records to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The former president is expected to appeal his conviction, which may or may not be overturned before the November election.
Meanwhile, filmmaker Paul Roland Bois directed an award-winning Christian tech thriller entitled Exemplum, which can be viewed for free on YouTube and Tubi. Mark Judge praised the film, writing that it was “better than Killers of the Flower Moon.” Another critic, Christian Toto, stated that audiences have not seen a story like this before. High-quality, ad-free rentals are available on Google Play, Vimeo on Demand, or YouTube Movies. Bois can be followed on Twitter at @prolandfilms and Instagram at @prolandfilms.
