WATCH: Donald Trump met with a thunderous applause at UFC 299

Former US president Donald Trump met with huge applause as he made his entrance to UFC 299 on Saturday. Trump was accompanied by UFC CEO Dana White as they made their way to the octagon. The former president attended the UFC event, based in Miami, with his daughter and former presidential adviser Ivanka Trump. Donald Trump and Ivanka have not been seen publicly together since Melania Trump’s mother’s funeral in January. Dana White has been a vocal supporter of Trump for many years, with the CEO revealing he argued with a sponsor over a social media post with Trump. Since White made that revelation, the relationship between him and Trump has grown stronger, with the former president appearing at numerous UFC events.
