President Donald Trump’s decision to attend UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York “was a big night” for the sport, Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White said.

White said that when Trump walked into the main arena to attend the mixed martial arts event, it was an unforgettable moment. “I’ve walked out of that tunnel for the last 20 years [and] I’ve never [expletive] seen anything like that in my life like tonight, when I walked out of that tunnel with him,” White said. “I’ll never forget it as long as I live. It was crazy.”
