Former President Donald Trump, during his recent appearance at the UFC 302 event in Newark, New Jersey, made a bold declaration to UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, promising to end the ongoing conflict in Palestine.
The 45th President was among the high-profile attendees at the Prudential Center, where he was greeted by a boisterous crowd as the main card commenced.
The event was graced by a host of celebrities, including comedians Joey Diaz and Theo Von, as well as NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Trump, a popular figure among UFC fighters, was approached by middleweights Sean Strickland and Kevin Holland following their respective victories. Holland's visit to the former President came shortly after he triumphed over his opponent by breaking his arm.
In a conversation with Nurmagomedov, a trainer and friend of lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, Trump was quoted saying, "We're gonna stop it. I'm gonna stop it." This was in response to Nurmagomedov's comment, "I know you're gonna stop all this Palestine war."
The crowd's fervor was evident as they chanted derogatory remarks about current President Joe Biden, to which Trump responded by raising his fist. This isn't the first time Trump's presence at a UFC event has stirred significant attention. A similar situation arose when NFL star Travis Kelce was seen appreciating photos from UFC 299, shared by former ESPN host Sage Steele.
Steele's photos included her shaking hands with Trump and posing with several personalities, including entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David, political commentator Candace Owens, influencer SteveWillDoIt, and actor Vincent Oshana. Kelce, known for his relationship with Taylor Swift and his promotion of Pfizer vaccines, faced backlash from left-wing followers and Swift's fans when it was noticed that he had liked Steele's post a month after it was shared. His decision to follow Steele's page also sparked outrage.
