Crowd Chants ‘F**k Joe Biden’ After Trump Makes Surprise Appearance At UFC 299
President Donald Trump received a loud pop from the crowd when he made a surprise appearance at UFC 299 in Miami. Midway through the main card, loud “f**k Joe Biden” chants could be heard through the broadcast, drawing laughs from Trump and UFC President Dana White.
Trump made his way into the arena just before the second fight on the main card after traveling from a packed rally in Georgia. Flanked by Dana White and his daughter, Ivanka, the former president was greeted with the loudest crowd reaction of the night, beating out several UFC, NFL and movie stars.
Trump received another loud reaction from the crowd when he was shown on the scoreboard before the main event between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera. Future UFC Hall of Fame member Dustin Poirier also went over to chat with the former president after securing an epic comeback win in the co-main event.
Midway through a welterweight bout between Jack Della Maddalena and Gilbert Burns, the crowd could be hearing chanting “f**k Joe Biden.” The chants were so loud that they could clearly be heard through the broadcast.
Trump has become a regular at UFC fights since he became the first sitting president to attend a UFC event in November 2019, when he sat Octagon-side for a highly anticipated fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. He has since attended a number of fights since leaving office, most recently popping up for UFC 295 in New York City.
Flanked by Tucker Carlson and Kid Rock, the former president received a warm ovation in the deep blue city both when he entered the arena and when he was shown on the jumbotron. The reception presented a sharp contrast with the 2019 entrance, when then-President Trump received an even mix of boos and cheers.
