Donald Trump was greeted by a loud chorus of mostly cheers as he arrives ringside in Las Vegas tonight for Conor McGregor’s UFC fight at UFC 264, multiple videos show.
Instead of a private box, President Trump chose to sit cage-side. White, a personal friend of the President, told TMZ that Trump “doesn’t care, he’s not that guy, he’s not hiding in a box somewhere, that’s not his style,” and that Trump will instead sit directly behind him.
As for the match, Dustin Poirier defeated Conor McGregor at UFC 264 on Saturday night after the Irishman injured his left ankle in the final seconds of the first round.
