Donald Trump is currently fighting a legal battle, but he’s also enjoying some fighting.

The former President of the United States made a surprise appearance at UFC 287 in Miami, sitting at cage side for the pay-per-view.

As noted by MMA Mania, Trump showed up to support his good friend, UF President Dana White, and Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal.

Miami fighter Masvidal took on Brazil's Gilbert Burns in the co-main event. Alex Pereira battled former champion Israel Adesanya in the main event of the evening. The fight was for the Middleweight title.

Trump is a fan of the UFC and has previously attended big fights. He also received quite the pop from the Miami faithful after it was announced that he was at UFC 287.

Trump was spotted sitting next to White, getting a close up view of the intense action. He interacted with some of the fighters as they spoke to White and also rubbed shoulders with boxer Mike Tyson, and Kid Rock at the event.
