Former US President Donald Trump too made an appearance (escorted by Dana White to the octagon) at the iconic event headlined by ‘The Notorious’ one, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.
Unlike other celebrities, who were shown on the television when they walked in for the show, the former President got neglected by the production team of the promotion.

The L.A crowd raised rousing welcome chants for the former President during his entrance to the arena. Trump enjoys a cordial bond with White and has paid his visits to the promotion’s shows earlier too.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, White discussed the negligence of the production team. He was seemingly unhappy with his team regarding the same.
