Read our privacy policy UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal praised Donald Trump as the former US president watched on from ringside on Saturday. “Greatest president in the history of the world, I love that guy,” said Masvidal, pointing at Trump, who was sat in the front row with Mike Tyson and UFC president Dana White. The crowd in the Miami-Dade Arena erupted when Trump arrived in the building, and UFC fighter Kevin Holland appeared to speak to the 76-year-old through the cage during his fight with Santiago Ponzinibbio, before going over to Trump after the bout. On Tuesday, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records around hush money payments during his 2016 presidential campaign.
