Sean Strickland Shouts Out Trump After UFC Win, Vows To Do One Thing To Show Support: VIDEO

Published|Updated

Sean Strickland was hyped to see Donald Trump Saturday night at UFC 302.

The former President and Republican nominee for the 2024 election was in the house at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and he set the place on fire.

It was his first major public appearance since being convicted on 34 charges relating to falsifying business records. Judging from the warm reception he got, the Manhattan case hasn't done much to impact his popularity with his fans.

He blew the roof off the arena, and Strickland had a special message for him.

Following a big win over Paulo Costa, the UFC's most entertaining fighter made it crystal clear where he stands on Trump and the 2024 election.

"President Trump, you're the man, bro. It is a damn travesty what they are doing to you. I’ll be donating to you, my man. Let's get it done," Strickland enthusiastically told the crowd and the Republican leader.

UFC fans and fighters love Trump.

Fans going absolutely wild for Trump and Sean Strickland vowing to donate weren't the only notable moments from the Saturday night UFC 302 event.

UFC fighter Kevin Holland literally hopped out of the cage to talk with Trump after beating Michal Oleksiejczuk. 

People are free to have whatever opinions they want about Trump, but there's no doubt the UFC world is a huge fan of the billionaire real estate mogul and political leader.

I was at a bar in Florida for a UFC event back in March that Trump attended, and the place went berserk when he was shown on TV walking in. This wasn't even the actual venue. It was a random Florida sports bar, and you would have thought Trump was in it based on how loud it got.

UFC fans and fighters simply love the man, and Trump continues to be a huge fan of combat sports.
