“I love great fighters and great fights,” Trump stated in a press release. “I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won’t want to miss this special event.”
President Trump has had a very long and friendly relationship with both boxing and MMA. UFC President Dana White has frequently praised and endorsed Trump, and Trump recently appeared at a fight in support of MMA superstar Conor McGregor, who called the 45th POTUS “quite possibly the greatest of all time.”
At the event Trump was saluted by acting legend Mel Gibson:
Video footage from the UFC 264 event in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday shows former President Donald Trump being saluted by a man who appears to be actor and film director Mel Gibson. Previous photos and footage of Gibson arriving at the event confirm that the “Braveheart” Academy Award-winning actor is indeed the man saluting Trump.
In a video taken after he arrived at the T-Mobile Arena, Gibson stated, “Hey, I want to see the rematch. You know, best out of three. I don’t care who wins, I just want it to see a good match, and I’m sure it will be.” Later, as President Trump arrived at the venue to chants of “USA! USA!”, Gibson could be seen saluting the former President.
