This will be Trump’s second public appearance since the trial after he appeared at Trump Tower on Friday, according to the Wall Street Journal. Trump and UFC President Dana White have been friends for 20 years, White told Deadline in an interview. “I’ve been friends with this guy for 20 years, and when he shows up to the fights… The guy is a fight fan. He’s been a fight fan,” White said of Trump. The event will include 12 matches, topped by a fight between lightweight champion Islam Makhechev and the fourth-ranked Dustin Poirier, according to the New York Post.
