Donald Trump credits Jorge Masvidal for successful campaign in Florida: ‘He was a big fan of mine’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump credited much of his success in the state of Florida to recently-retired UFC star and outspoken supporter, Jorge Masvidal.

Fans inside the T-Mobile Arena were shocked to see Trump, who had recently been indicted on 37 different charges, including obstruction and unlawful retention of defense information, walk through the tunnel to take in the action at UFC 290 earlier this month. As it turns out, the 45th President of the United States spoke with Jim Norton and Matt Serra earlier that day, detailing his relationship with the UFC, Dana White, and many of the promotion’s biggest stars.
