A true fan of UFC, Trump was joined by his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. The event showcased thrilling fights in the octagon, including Sean O’Malley’s impressive victory over Marlon “Chito” Vera in the main event.
Amidst the excitement, the crowd even erupted into a controversial chant directed at Joe Biden. According to a Bloomberg reporter, the chant echoed the sentiment of the crowd at one point during the event.
Trump also took the opportunity to mingle with notable figures in attendance. He posed for a photo with NFL players Nick Bosa and Joe Burrow, exchanged handshakes with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and former ESPN host Sage Steele.

Sage Steele, who had previously parted ways with ESPN due to a lawsuit, was also present at the event. She had been vocal about her criticism of COVID vaccine mandates and former President Barack Obama.
While enjoying the UFC action, Trump couldn’t help but draw parallels to the intensity of the election process. He remarked, “It’s the closest thing I can see really reflective of the election process that we have in this country, the UFC fights. That may be a little tamer than the election business.”

Trump also gave a shout-out to Dana White, praising his leadership and success in the UFC. White had previously stood up to a sponsor who demanded he remove a post featuring Trump from his personal social media account, earning Trump’s admiration.
“Dana White has done a great job,” Trump expressed. “I hope he doesn’t run for office against me. He’s done a fantastic job. It’s an easier business than politics.”
As Trump continues his campaign for the White House, his appearance at UFC 99 showcased his ability to captivate and energize a crowd, leaving no doubt about his enduring popularity.
