The former president, who has attended numerous UFC events in recent years, arrived at UFC 295 just moments before the highly anticipated pay-per-view event kicked off, according to the New York Post.
As Kid Rock's 'American Badass' blasted throughout the legendary venue, Trump lifted his fist and waved to the sold-out crowd before settling into his ringside seats with his entourage of well-known faces.
The leading Republican presidential candidate reportedly flew straight to New York to catch the fight immediately after holding a rally in New Hampshire.

Donald Trump Jr testifies in New York civil fraud case
Donald Trump Jr's post about the UFC 295 event came a week after he testified for the $250 million civil fraud trial. He, his father, the Trump Organization, and several executives stand accused of a years-long fraud scheme of inflating annual financial statements.
During the testimony, Trump Jr, who is an executive vice president of the Trump Organization, was asked if he has an understanding of the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as per Daily Mail.
He replied that whatever he knew on the subject was from his learning in 'Accounting 101' during his college days back in the 1990s. He also tried to crack a few jokes while denying having anything to do with the preparation of the financial accounts that are central to the case.
"The accountants worked on it, that’s what we pay them for," said Trump Jr, adding, "I was not involved in the compilation of this statement of financial condition."
He later mentioned that he had "no understanding" of accounting terminology and tried to push the blame on the family's accountants.
