After attending four UFC events last year, Donald Trump made an appearance at UFC 299 in Miami, just hours after a rally up north in Georgia.

For the first time in 2024, Donald Trump is taking in UFC action. The former president, who is set to be the Republican candidate this fall, arrived at the Kayesa Center in Miami for UFC 299, which is headlined by Sean O'Malley and Marlon Vera. Trump announced he'd be in attendance during his rally earlier Saturday in Rome, Ga.

It's the closest thing I can see really reflective of the election process that we have in this country, the UFC fights. That may be a little tamer than the election business…' Trump said at his rally. 'Dana White has done a great job. I hope he doesn't run for office against me. He's done a fantastic job. It's an easier business than politics.' Trump and White walked out together, with Kid Rock's 'American Badass' playing on the PA system.

Malley won the Bantamweight Championship at UFC 292 last August against Aljamin Sterling - the title is on the line in Miami on Saturday night. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
