UFC 297 saw an action-packed main event between Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title. However, the fans were fixated on some other thing. They sounded off their displeasure regarding the leader of their country, Justin Trudeau, with explicit chants. Incidentally, the Prime Minister’s son was also in attendance at the Scotiabank Arena.

The first UFC pay-per-view of the year saw a lot of energetic Canadian fans in Toronto. With UFC 297 being one of the biggest UFC events the country has ever hosted, the crowd’s interest leaned more toward dissing their Prime Minister. Let’s take a look at what transpired last weekend.

Canadian PM’s son witnesses dissing chants on his father

Many people were excited to see the Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis headliner. Some of the notable people who attended included the Canadian PM’s son, Xavier Trudeau. The sold-out crowd started a profanity laced chant, ‘F*** Trudeau’, at random intervals. While it was unusual to see such a scene where the citizens call out their leaders during a sporting event, Xavier Trudeau witnessed it firsthand.

Based on the Instagram story, Justin Trudeau’s son was reportedly seated in a box seat. As a result he must have witnessed the dissing chants aimed at the Canadian Prime Minister. While his story is no longer available on the platform, some users on Twitter (X) shared a screenshot of the story from Xavier Trudeau proving that he indeed was witness to the event. This incident prompted reactions from many people, including UFC’s color commentator, Joe Rogan.

The 56-year-old commentator-cum-podcast host has mentioned his displeasure with the Canadian government and its leader in the past. Similarly, he doubled down on wanting to see a change in the government structure after what he witnessed from the Canadian citizens at UFC 297. Joe Rogan, during the latest ‘Fight Companion’ episode, said, “Canada, get your sh*t together. Come back. Come back to what you used to be. That Pierre Poilievre guy—that guy makes sense.”

Joe Rogan appeared to show his support for Pierre Poiliviere, the opposition leader, claiming that he would be a more sensible leader for the North American nation than Justin Trudeau. Furthermore, the JRE host’s guest, Brendan Schaub, also appeared to dislike Justin Trudeau as well.
