Former United States President Donald Trump is sitting cageside for UFC 295 in New York City. Just moments before the main card was set to begin, Trump walked into the area flanked by UFC president Dana White and Kid Rock.
The arena erupted in applause but fans and media on Twitter didn't have the same reaction to the moment.

Donald Trump makes his way to his seat at UFC 295. Strangely, graphics team forgot to include he's facing 91 felony counts in four criminal cases. Must've been an oversight!

Trump made history when he attended a UFC event on Nov. 2, 2019. The event, UFC 244, was the first time a sitting US President ever attended a UFC event. He's attended a handful of cards since then, though he's no longer the president.
