Donald Trump made a grand entrance at UFC 302 earlier tonight (Sat., June 1, 2024) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., as the former President of the Unites States walked out to a standing ovation alongside UFC CEO, Dana White, before taking his usual cageside seat.
Trump, who was just found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records during the 2016 election, let fans know he’s coming to UFC 302 with an early evening post to Truth Social (shown below). The former President didn’t indicate when he’d be making his walk to the Octagon, but it will still be a nice addition to an event already stacked with star power.
Trump, who is known to attend some of the biggest UFC cards, wasn’t going to miss tonight’s event in Newark. UFC 302 is pretty stacked from top-to-bottom, including a main event showdown between UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and future Hall of Famer Dustin Poirier. Not to mention a co-headliner featuring former UFC middleweight king Sean Strickland and Brazilian powerhouse Paulo Costa.

In addition to Trump, New York Jets quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, has also joined the party to witness some live combat action. The future NFL Hall of Famer made his walk to the Octagon during the UFC 302’s “Prelims.” Check it out:
