The former president, a frequent game-goer, had posted to Truth Social earlier in the day that he planned to attend the game.
Trump shook hands with comedian Theo Von just as he was preparing to enter the arena with UFC CEO and longtime friend Dana White.
Kid Rock’s “American Badass” played as Trump walked to his cageside seat and shook hands with several fans.
President Trump walked into a star-studded front row that included notables such as New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former teammate Mercedes Lewis.
Trump also visited the UFC announce desk and shook hands with staff members, including Joe Rogan.
Trump’s court appearance came two days after he was found guilty in a hush money trial in a Manhattan courtroom just a few miles from the arena.
