The event sold out the Miami Kaseya Arena, with over 19 thousand fans in attendance and a live gate of nearly 12 million dollars.

It is no new news that Trump is a huge fan of the sport and has helped the sport grow. However, it turns out he loves the sport more than fans might expect. Dana White seemed more than happy walking into the post-fight press conference. There’s nothing better than an event that broke the live ticket sales record and could easily do over a million sales in PPV for Dana White.

However, there was a very familiar and popular face amongst the crowd at the event. Donald Trump, who is a huge fan of the sport was in attendance at the event. During the post-fight press conference, Dana was asked, “What kind of a fight fan Trump is. Is he more of a brawl-loving guy or someone who enjoys the technical aspect of the sport? Dana laughed at this and revealed that Trump used to call him twice every month and talk about fights.

“This guy calls me twice a month and will talk to me for an hour about fighting. Things that have happened since the last time that we talked. And he knows everybody, what they did and who they fought last. He’s a huge fight fan”, said White.

Trump is a fanboy when it comes to the sport the organization and even the fighters. The reporter further questioned Dana about Donald Trump’s favorite fighter. To this, the UFC president was amused. “Three guesses,” White said with a chuckle. “Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal and Covington.”

Donald Trump is known to have a long friendship with UFC president Dana White and has attended many of UFC’s events. With Trump’s love for the sport and many fighters supporting Trump in the UFC, it’s no wonder that Trump received massive cheers from the crowd in Miami.
