Controversies and MMA stars at times go hand in hand. One such squabble erupted when Donald Trump entered the T-Mobile Arena at UFC 290. The ex-POTUS accompanied his close friend and UFC President Dana White and grabbed a front-row seat. One of the most influential figures in the United States, he made sure to greet the other important people in the building. Thus, he ended up mingling with the likes of Joe Rogan, Mark Wahlberg, and Mel Gibson. While pictures of their interaction made the rounds on the internet for not-so-good reasons, Gordon Ryan is ready to defend Trump with all his might.
