Donald Trump Loudly Booed At Madison Square Garden Ahead Of UFC 244

President Donald Trump was treated to loud boos on Saturday upon entering Madison Square Garden in New York ahead of a mixed martial arts fight.

Trump — who also received some cheers — was at the venue to watch the main card of UFC 244, which saw Jorge Masvidal beat Nate Diaz in three rounds.

The boos mark the second time in a week that Trump receives a cold welcome at a public sporting event. On Oct. 27, fans at Nationals Park booed the president during Game five of the World Series and chanted “lock him up!”
