Dana White, the UFC chief, introduced the former president after wrestling legend Hulk Hogan earlier ripped off his shirt and told Americans to embrace "Trumpamania.”

Trump has embraced White, one of his most outspoken supporters outside of politics, and the hugely popular combat sports franchise he manages, gracing several of its live events over the past year while grappling with court battles.

No stranger to controversy, White admitted last year to slapping his wife after a drunken altercation at a New Year's Eve party was caught on video.
