AFPUFC 302 had a VVIP guest in guise of former US President Donald Trump. While the Republican frontrunner received positive reception from the crowd, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers reportedly ignored Trump.
As Trump made his way through the room, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Rodgers remained seated, seemingly unfazed by the president's presence. Despite Trump's attempt at acknowledgment with a nod, Rodgers appeared to maintain his composure, showing no indication of reciprocating the gesture.
Rodgers, contemplating the possibility of running as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vice presidential candidate in the upcoming presidential election, has voiced criticisms of both Trump and President Joe Biden.
Islam Makhachev had a desperate opponent in front of him and much of a sold-out crowd against him. Makhachev defended his lightweight title and extended his winning streak to 14 fights, the third longest in UFC history, by getting a submission victory over Dustin Poirier in the fifth round on Saturday night at UFC 302.
Overcoming one of the sport's accomplished veterans and a crowd — including former President Donald Trump — that was against him from the start, Makhachev ran his record to 26-1 and said afterward he may move up in weight for another challenge.
There's certainly not much left for the Russian at 155 pounds, where he defended his title for the third time and showed again why he is ranked as the pound-for-pound best in UFC.
Poirier (30-9) fell short in his third attempt for the undisputed title, all three ending by submission. At 35, he is considering retirement.
