According to USA Today, Trump entered the T-Mobile Arena through the fighter tunnel for the fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier on Saturday night, inspiring the audience to applaud and shout “U-S-A.”

The former president was brought to a seat near the octagon, where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was also there to witness the bout.

When McGregor broke his ankle and was unable to finish the bout, Poirier won the main event.
