Donald Trump showed no emotion as he witnessed Conor McGregor suffer a devastating leg injury against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
McGregor faced Poirier for the third time at UFC 264. Tied 1-1 in their rivalry, the highly anticipated bout did not go as planned for the Irish superstar as he suffered a brutal fracture, his tibia cleanly breaking off towards the end of the first round. 'The Diamond' won by TKO.
In a recently surfaced video, the former president of the United States of America can be seen sitting front row, just behind Jon Anik in the commentary booth, looking on as Conor McGregor snapped his leg trying to land a shot on Dustin Poirier. Trump looked on with an expressionless poker face as the crowd reacted with shock and surprise.
His unperturbed reaction to the gnarly injury incited some fans on Twitter to criticize the polarizing figure. One user labeled Trump a "psychopath" in their response to the video posted:
"Trump is a psychopath. He only cares what happens to him."
Others joked about his inability to see inside the octagon or even understand what happened:
"He is distracted by the nice sparkly lights in the distance."
"It's not that he's seen some s**t, it's that he is absolutely confused by his surroundings."
Others credited Trump's icy cold demeanor to his time spent in office, possibly having seen worse than a broken leg:
"Imagine knowing about aliens and seeing their alien genitals in CIA reports. A dude snapping his leg is no big deal."
Conor McGregor once hailed Donald Trump as the "USA GOAT" in a tweet back in 2020
Donald Trump attended the highly anticipated trilogy bout between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The former USA President also shares a close mutual friend, Dana White, with the Irishman. In return, McGregor seems to be a fan of the real estate magnate and his administration, tweeting out his appreciation for him back in 2020.
On Martin Luther King Day in 2020, Trump marked the day by recalling his own achievements and the third anniversary of his swearing in ceremony. McGregor replied to the tweet with:
"Phenomenal President. Quite possibly the USA GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). Most certainly one of them anyway, as he sits atop the shoulders of many amazing giants that came before him. No easy feet. Early stages of term also. Incredible. Congrats and Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day America."
