Former President Donald Trump entered the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Saturday night to a roaring crowd, meeting with numerous celebrities and even a victorious fighter at UFC 290.
UFC President Dana White accompanied Trump to his seat, high-fiving supporters before the main event. South African fighter Dricus Du Plessis was also recorded greeting the former president after he defeated Robert Whittaker in round 2.
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.”
His arrival was greeted with huge cheers by fans when he came up on the big screen.
MMA fans were quick to comment on Trump being in attendance for the Sin City card, with one saying: ” Dana White walks in with Donald Trump and this place popped big.”
Another said: “BEST PRESIDENT EVER!!!”
And another said: “Awesome!”
One remarked: “Dana White the NEXT VP.”
One chimed in: “Donald Trump is here and just got a HUGE pop from the crowd.”
Joe Rogan and the former president were filmed having the handshakes:
Hours before the fight Saturday, Trump delivered a 40-minute speech at Calvary Chapel in Las Vegas where he warned about the direction of the country and told President Joe Biden that the “gloves are off.”
“I wouldn’t have said this three weeks ago. I wouldn’t have said it. I was actually very kind to him,” Trump said. “I was very kind to him, but now we can’t be kind anymore because the gloves are off. The jar has been opened … He’s totally compromised.”
Trump also called Biden “corrupt” and “incompetent” and said the issues like immigration, crime, and the economy have become much worse under the Biden administration. Likely referencing recent accusations and the House investigation into the Biden family’s overseas business dealings, Trump claimed the president has “taken millions of dollars from other countries like China.”
“I don’t like doing the same word for two people,” Trump said regarding his “Crooked Hillary” nickname for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “We’re using the word crooked for Joe Biden because Joe Biden is the most crooked president in the history of our country by a factor of hundreds. He’s a crook.”
President Trump lost Nevada in 2016 and 2020 by less than three points but hasn’t written the state off for 2024.
“We have a big job to do. This has been a hard state. I really believe it’s a Republican state,” Trump said.
