UFC fighter Michael Chandler recently shared an interesting tidbit about a promise made to him by Donald Trump before the US presidential election. The election results saw Trump being re-elected as the 47th President of the United States, defeating Kamala Harris.
Chandler, who is set to have a rematch against Charles Oliveira at Madison Square Garden next weekend, revealed that Trump assured him he would attend the fight if he emerged victorious in the election. Excited about the prospect of having the President-elect in attendance, Chandler expressed his honor and enthusiasm for the event.
Trump’s love for UFC is well-known, as he has attended several events in the past. In a recent statement, Trump commended UFC President Dana White for his work in building the successful sports enterprise, highlighting his initial skepticism about the rough nature of the sport.
With Trump’s confirmed attendance at Chandler’s upcoming fight, it promises to be a memorable night at Madison Square Garden for both the fighter and the President-elect.
