Trump greeted at UFC 327 in first sporting event appearance since start of Iran war
President Donald Trump was greeted by a packed crowd at UFC 327 in Miami Saturday night during the president's first appearance at a sporting event since the start of the Iran war.
Trump has been a frequent fixture at UFC and other combat sports events during his presidency, during his 2024 campaign and even dating back to his first term.
In 2025, Trump attended UFC 316 and Miami fight night. In 2024, he attended UFC 302 in June and UFC 309 in November.

Trump was notably absent from this year's Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics in Italy and didn't attend any other events after the Iran war broke out.
But after Tuesday's ceasefire agreement, Trump has returned to sport. Trump addressed the ongoing situation with Iran at the White House before departing for Joint Base Andrews to travel to Miami for the UFC event.
"We're in very deep negotiations with Iran. We win regardless. We've defeated them militarily," Trump told reporters. "Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me. And the reason is because we've won, whether you listen to the fake news or not."
