Days after pleading not guilty to criminal charges, former President Donald Trump received a warm welcome after he showed up Saturday evening at UFC 287 in Miami.

Videos posted to social media showed Trump walking through the Kaseya Center, packed with cheering attendees. Trump himself is a fan of UFC, attending various fights over the years.

Beside the Octagon, Trump sat next to rock star Kid Rock, former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, and UFC President Dana White. At one point, Trump stood up and waved and the crowd broke into chants of “U-S-A.”
