UFC President Dana White all but confirmed that President Donald Trump will attend UFC 327 in Miami this Saturday.
Speaking on Adin Ross’ recent YouTube stream, White said that “the big guy” will be in attendance at the Kaseya Center.
“It’s good to be back in Miami. Yeah, I’m pumped. We got the big guy coming on Saturday, too. He’s coming,” White said.
If confirmed, the appearance would mark Trump’s first major sporting event since attending the college football national championship in January, where Indiana defeated Miami.
Since beginning his second term, Trump has maintained a strong presence at major sporting events. He has attended multiple UFC events, along with the Super Bowl, Daytona 500, NCAA wrestling championships, FIFA Club World Cup final, U.S. Open, a New York Yankees game, the Ryder Cup, and the Army-Navy game.
Looking ahead, the UFC is expected to host an event on the South Lawn of the White House as part of the America250 celebration on June 14, which coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday.
Trump’s most recent UFC appearance came at UFC 316 in Newark last summer. If he attends this weekend, it would continue a trend, as Trump has appeared at each of the last three UFC events held in Miami.
UFC 327 is set to feature two light heavyweight bouts as co-main events, including a championship fight. The broader “UFC Freedom 250” slate will be headlined by Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria in a lightweight championship unification bout.
