Shortly after sharing the UFC Freedom 250 poster on his Truth Social platform, Trump was spotted at UFC 327 in Miami, Florida on Saturday night.

Trump, accompanied by several family members and UFC chief Dana White, entered the Kaseya Center shortly after 9 pm local time and was seen greeting attendees on the floor, as well as podcaster and supporter Joe Rogan.

Secetary of State was waiting for Trump at his seat, while the US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, was also in proximity to the US President.

The US President was at the event to watch the local heavyweight contest between Carlos Ulberg and Jiri Prochazka.

With former champion Alex Pereira vacating the belt to challenge for the interim heavyweight title at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, Ulberg (14-1-0) earned his spot across Procházka (32-5-1) in the main event of Saturday's card.

On the main undercard, fellow light heavyweights Azamat Murzakanov (16-0-0) and Paulo Costa (15-4-0) will battle in what might end up being a qualifier for the victor to meet the winner of Ulberg and Procházka.
