Trump attends UFC 244 at MSG in New York
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!”
