NEW YORK (AP) – President-elect Donald Trump attended the UFC heavyweight championship clash at Madison Square Garden.
That combines two things close to his heart: fierce battles inside the octagon and New York City. Trump is a longtime UFC enthusiast and frequent attendee of major fights.
Stipe Miocic is getting his shot Saturday at a third heavyweight championship reign when he battles current champion Jon Jones at UFC 309.
Trump made promoting hypermasculine tones a signature of his latest, successful campaign for the White House.
Trump and UFC President Dana White have also been close for more than two decades.
