On Saturday evening, former President Donald Trump attended the UFC 264 event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Trump, who is the only president to ever attend a UFC event, was warmly welcomed to the arena by the fans and even some celebrities. In a now viral video, “Lethal Weapon” actor Mel Gibson was seen saluting President Trump as he walked into the arena.
The Daily Caller reports:
Mel Gibson was very excited to see former President Donald Trump at UFC 264 late Saturday night.
The “Lethal Weapon” star was enjoying the highly-anticipated fighting event when he saw the former POTUS walking through the crowd, and he fired him a salute as the crowd went wild.
…
It’s sometimes hard to believe the reality that we’re living in is real. Imagine if I told you 20 years ago that Donald Trump would be attending an MMA event as a former president and Mel Gibson would be saluting him.
Not a single person on the planet would have likely believed you and rightfully so.
