In addition to Trump’s presence, the event also had ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson in attendance. The former heavyweight champion is a huge fan of MMA and is often seen at UFC events. With such a star-studded guest list, UFC 287 was just as exciting off the mat as it was on it.

When Dana White stood up for Donald Trump

Dana White, the UFC president, has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump for years. In 2020, he spoke in support of Trump at the RNC, highlighting the former President’s leadership qualities. White cited the pre-COVID economy as an example of why Trump should be re-elected.

He said, “Many of you know who I am, what I do, and that I am friends with the president. I spoke at this convention four years ago, and I’m back because I believe we need President Trump’s leadership now more than ever.”
