Here’s the Donald Trump entrance you did NOT see on TV … with the former POTUS arriving at the arena for Conor McGregor‘s UFC 264 fight — and getting a huge ovation from the packed crowd.
TMZ Sports obtained video of DT arriving at T-Mobile Arena midway through the main card … and being greeted by his longtime friend, UFC prez Dana White.
As Trump and White begin walking towards the arena floor, Donald sees Jorge Masvidal … and the 2 men exchanged a bro hug.
Remember, Masvidal campaigned for Trump during the 2020 election cycle … and they clearly have a pretty tight friendship.
When Trump finally emerged from the tunnel and was spotted by the 20K+ crowd — there were some jeers — but the response sounds overwhelmingly positive.
Last week, Dana told us that Trump would NOT be sitting in a luxury box … he’d be right behind the UFC honcho, Octagon side.
However, the ESPN cameras didn’t show Trump … even though they showed a bunch of other A-list celebs (Kourtney Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Dave Chappelle and more) who were in the house.
Of course, internet conspiracy theorist have been having a field day … speculating why Trump wasn’t shown during the broadcast.
Bottom line … #45 was there, and seemed to get a whole lotta love from the UFC crowd.
