The internet once again exploded with awesome videos of the crowd at the UFC fight on the evening of Saturday, June 1, wildly cheering for former President Donald Trump as he entered the arena. Another awesome video showed the crowd chanting the anti-Biden “f*** Joe Biden” slogan. The videos follow many others of Trump getting cheered at UFC matches.
Trump seemed to enjoy his time at the match, as he took to Truth Social after the fight to write, “A GREAT night at the UFC!” Given the huge enthusiasm for him shown by those watching the fight and the “f*** Joe Biden” chant that rocked the stadium, that makes sense, as the crowd was very friendly to him and his candidacy.
These videos came from the UFC 302 fights. Trump, when he showed up to those fights, as has happened numerous times before, received huge amounts of applause as he walked in. Conservative X personality Benny Johnson, posting a video of the matter, wrote, “🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump walks into UFC 302 in New Jersey just days after being convicted 10 miles away in New York — Crowd ROARS 🔥”
One commenter, complimenting Trump as a comment on Benny Johnson’s X post, wrote, “Trump walking into UFC 302 like a boss right after a conviction? That’s pure alpha energy. While others cry and hide, he shows up to face the crowd. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny the man’s got guts. This is how you handle the haters!”
Another commenter on the same post wrote, “Anyone else would have been wrecked, Trump doesn’t even age. What a legend. Democrats are seething. They messed up again, and elected the king.” Another commenter noted the huge enthusiasm shown for Trump by the crowd, writing, “Trump rocks the biggest entrance of the night and he’s not even fighting.”

And while that video was awesome, an even better one came from the crowd, after Trump entered the arena to watch the fights and took his seat, switching from applause for him to disdain for President Joe Biden, letting loose with one of the “f*** Joe Biden” chants that was so popular in the fall of 2021 as inflation and Afghanistan disaster coincided with college football.
New York Times politics writer Shawn McCreesh, drawing attention to the video in a post on X that garnered nearly 400,000 impressions, wrote, “Moments after Donald Trump takes his seat at tonight’s UFC fight in Newark, the audience breaks out into a spontaneous “Fuck Joe Biden” chant.” He added that it was followed by a “We love Trump” chant.

Responding, one commenter claimed that the incident would push away independents, writing, “This is the kind of stuff that will turn off independents and especially women independents. It may have the crowd feeling good but it turns off the Independents…” A commenter on that post disagreed, saying, “I thought trying to jail your opponent in a presidential race would turn off independents more.”
