The crowd was so excited to see Trump, they started chanting USA, USA, USA!
Clearly, they wanted their president to know that they have his back while he battles the Deep State yet again.
TMZ reported that Jorge Masvidal, after laying down his gloves and retiring following a decision loss to Gilbert Burns, referenced Trump while talking to Joe Rogan ... saying "we got the greatest president in the history of the world sitting right there. I love that guy," while pointing at DT, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Gamebred also alluded to governor Ron DeSantis (Trump's political enemy and opponent for the Rep. nomination), saying "we also got the greatest governor of all-time here in Florida. Let's keep Florida free, a red state, and let's take back, let's take that 'Let's Go Brandon' mother f***er out of power and replace him!"
Masvidal then started a "Let's go Brandon" chant before leaving the Octagon.

It makes sense ... #45's Mar-a-Lago home is only about an hour from MIA's Kaseya Center -- the location of 287 -- and with supporter Jorge Masvidal fighting on the cards co-main event vs. Gilbert Burns, it makes sense that Trump would attend.
Trump is seated just feet from the Octagon, with Dana to his right, and Kid Rock to his left. Mike Tyson is seated next to the controversial musician.Massive crowd at UFC Miami chants “U-S-A” after Trump greets crowd 🇺🇸

ESPN+, unlike the last time Trump attended a fight (UFC 264, Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier, July 2021) where he was never shown on the television broadcast, was shown ... with a graphic saying "45th President of the United States."
There was also a "U.S.A., U.S.A." chant from a portion of the packed crowd.
It’s great to see President Trump having such a good time. God knows he deserves it after all he’s been through and what he’s facing down the road.President Donald Trump in attendance at UFC 287 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/OriJbrcSIg

There’s no doubt that the American people are with him.
