Masvidal talked with UFC commentator Joe Rogan in the ring after his fight. Masvidal said, "Greatest president in the history of the world, I love that guy."
Additionally, Masvidal praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and then asked the crowd to chant "Let’s go, Brandon," the known chant against President Joe Biden.
"Trump sat in the front row of the event with UFC President Dana White, boxing legend Mike Tyson, Kid Rock, and his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.," reported the Washington Examiner.
This is Trump's first public appearance after he pleaded not guilty las week to 34 counts for allegedly falsifying business records.
Prosecutors are claiming the alleged falsified business records breached election laws in 2016.
Masvidal announced his retirement after he was defeated by Gilbert Burns.
"I love everybody here," Masvidal said. "This is where I started my career. It's been a long 20 years, 50-some fights. Sometimes your favorite basketball player don't have that 3-pointer no more. Your favorite quarterback loses that rifle. I don't feel the same when I get in here no more. It's been 20 long years."
Jorge Masvidal thanks Donald Trump, calls him “greatest President in the history of the world” and then starts a “Let’s go Brandon” chant.
