Fans cheered, waved flags and chanted “USA” as former president Donald Trump arrived at UFC 264 to watch the main event, the clash between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor in Las Vegas.
Mr Trump came through the fighter tunnel just prior to the welterweight fight between Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson
The enormous ovation from the crowd showed the former president's popularity with large swathes of the American electorate.
The 45th president then travelled to Dallas, Texas, to deliver the keynote address at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference which sparked conjecture he is running for the White House again.
The CPAC event is often used as a springboard for politicians who have aspirations to run as a candidate for the upcoming Republican presidential candidates.
However, a swathe of major polls have indicated that should Mr Trump run again, he will easily win the Republican nomination to run as the party’s presidential candidate in 2024.
In a straw poll taken at the latest CPAC, 70 per cent of attendees nominated Mr Trump as their preferred presidential candidate, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis the next best at 21 per cent support.

Is it possible to get “canceled” after shaking hands? For TikTok star Addison Rae, 20, that might be the case after she recently greeted former President Donald Trump, 75. Various celebrities gathered together at the July 11 UFC 264 event in Las Vegas to watch the Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor fight. The mix of spectators featured TikTok creators like Rae, movie stars including Mel Gibson and former politicians, like Trump. However, the real drama occurred ringside when Rae decided to tap the ex-president on the shoulder and politely introduce herself while he sat among his entourage. The video shows the content creator — who was at the event for a short-lived side gig doing red carpet interviews — approaching the former commander-in-chief and uttering, “Hi! I’m Addison. Nice to meet you.” Once the TikToker got his attention, the two shook hands and she mentioned that she just “had to say hi” and that it was “so nice to meet you.”
