Donald Trump Reportedly Scheduled to Attend UFC 244

Donald Trump has long been involved in mixed martial arts and he is good friends with UFC president Dana White. And now, it looks like the UFC boss and President of the United States could be coming face-to-face this weekend at UFC 244.

According to reports, Trump is scheduled to be in New York City to attend UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden when Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz face off for the BMF title.

“Weekend Plans: Trump is tentatively scheduled to go to NYC to attend an MMA event at Madison Square Garden on Sat night, per sources,” New York Times White House correspondent Annie Karni wrote on Twitter. “Stay over at Trump Tower. Great news for traffic on NYC Marathon Sunday.”

What a sight that would be.

Donald Trump was inducted into the New Jersey State Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2013 and has hosted multiple events at his properties in Atlantic City. He was also a partner of Affliction Entertainment which launched its own MMA promotion that was home to heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko. Most recently, Trump hosted former interim champion Colby Covington and Dana White at the White House in the summer of 2018.

The Filth-adelphia Eagles play an American sport and never leave the Continental United States but call themselves WORLD champions!? HA! You’re all silver spoon fed soy boys! I’m a real world champion. Just like our President I’m living up to my promises and taking on all comers from every corner of the globe. Take some notes out of my playbook you big dumb Neanderthals. Show some respect to the man who loves this country and always puts it first. This is the highest honor any American athlete can ever receive. Respect our flag, respect our troops and respect our President. It’s pretty amazing how much you all like to complain about America but still refuse to leave it. America may not be perfect but we’re sure as hell the best! You got a problem with America, you’ve got a problem with me. #MAGA #GreatAmericanWinningMachine #philadelphiaeagles #nfl @philadelphiaeagles
