UFC 205
On November 8th of 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, and just four days later the UFC were bracing themselves for the possibility that he would be attending UFC 205: Alvarez Vs McGregor in New York City.
“Donald originally told me he that would come to the fight if he won,” White told TMZ at the time.
“I don’t think Donald really realized what his duties were gonna be had he won. I think he’s meeting with Obama today and then I don’t know. We’ll see, man.”
“Listen, no pressure to come … but it wouldn’t suck if he came.”
White made sure that a seat was reserved for Trump just in case, but the Secret Service advised the President-elect against doing so due to security concerns.
However, in his absence, his son Donald Trump Jr. and wife Vanessa did attend the show.
