Former President Donald Trump was greeted by an adoring crowd Saturday night in Miami for UFC 287.
Mr. Trump was at the event with longtime friend and UFC President Dana White, as well as boxing legend Mike Tyson and the Bud Light-hating singer Kid Rock.Masvidal announced his retirement after losing in a decision to Gilbert Burns and used his final post-fight interview to shower praise on Mr. Trump, according to the New York Post.
The fighter then voiced his support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is widely considered Mr. Trump’s greatest opponent in the upcoming Republican presidential primary. Mr. DeSantis has yet to announce his intent to run. Masvidal finished his post-fight interview by leading the crowd in a “Let’s go Brandon” chant, which is a slogan used to insult President Joseph R. Biden. It’s a reference to a 2021 interview where an NBC reporter misinterpreted a crowd that was saying “F— Joe Biden” as “Let’s go Brandon.”
