MMA fighter Evan Elder acknowledged the attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life during a UFC match Saturday.
After defeating opponent Darrius Flowers by submission with an arm-triangle choke in Round 2 during a prelim welterweight bout, Elder proclaimed his support for Trump following the presumptive GOP nominee’s brush with death earlier in the day at a campaign rally in Butler, Penn.
“Hey. I heard they just tried to whack my boy Trump,” Elder told the crowd at UFC Fight Night in Denver, Colo. “I’m glad that man’s okay. Long live Trump. Let’s go baby Trump 2024.”

The fighter’s comments come as rumors circulated Saturday evening that Trump could show up to UFC on Saturday evening, despite the failed assassination attempt.
However, TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk threw water on those rumors.
These reports are FALSE. Trump will not be at UFC tonight. https://t.co/YzvuS67xFN

Meanwhile, UFC President Dana White is scheduled to speak ahead of Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next Thursday, where he’s expected to accept the 2024 GOP nomination.
