Donald Trump's appearance at the recent UFC event created waves in the MMA community, particularly after his interaction with two-time Olympic gold medalist and current UFC bantamweight contender Kayla Harrison.
The former president, known for his long-standing relationship with UFC President Dana White, was seated cageside during Harrison's dominant performance. What followed after her victory became the talk of the MMA world when Trump approached Harrison and engaged in what observers described as an intimate gesture that clearly caught the champion by surprise.
Trump's enduring relationship with UFC
Donald Trump's connection to the Ultimate Fighting Championship dates back to its earliest days when the sport was struggling for legitimacy. When many venues refused to host UFC events, Trump opened the doors of his Atlantic City properties, providing a platform for the organization at a critical time in its development.
This history has not been forgotten by UFC President Dana White, who has remained an outspoken Trump er and has frequently invited the former president to high-profile fights as a VIP guest.
Harrison's meteoric rise in combat sports
Kayla Harrison's journey to UFC prominence represents one of the most impressive transitions from Olympic sports to mixed martial arts in recent history. As a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo (2012 and 2016), Harrison entered the MMA world with tremendous expectations.
Unlike many crossover athletes who struggle with the multi-disciplinary nature of MMA, Harrison has adapted her world-class judo skills to become a dominant force, first in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) where she won two championships, and now in the UFC where she has quickly established herself as a top contender.
