Donald Trump has been spotted at the UFC in Florida flanked by Kid Rock and Mike Tyson.

The former president made the surprise appearance after he was formally indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump is getting a fair bit of attention on social media and was pictured with UFC president Dana White along with two “gold bars” that stated, “UFC 287 and sold out”.

And in another image, he was shown in the front row with Mike Tyson, Kid Rock and White.

Trump’s main base of operations, Mar-a-Lago Resort, is close by to the fight venue.

He’s long been friends with White and has attended numerous other promotional events, including UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York while still in office.

American UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this week.
