Donald Trump attends UFC 302, receives ‘staggering’ ovation just days after guilty verdict in hush money trial
SUMMARY
Former President Donald Trump received a standing ovation at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, just days after being convicted of falsifying business records in Manhattan. Accompanied by UFC President Dana White, Trump shook hands and greeted fans, displaying his usual confidence. Commentator Joe Rogan noted the crowd's overwhelming applause. Despite legal troubles related to a $130,000 "hush money" payment to Stormy Daniels, Trump remains popular among UFC fans. White, a long-time friend of Trump, has known him for 20 years. The event was headlined by lightweight champion Islam Makhachev against Dustin Poirier.
