NFL stars Joe Burrow and Nick Bosa greet Donald Trump at UFC 299 – with the beaming 49ers defensive end looking THRILLED to meet the former president – before watching Sean O’Malley dominate Marlon Vera

Not all of the action was inside the ring at UFC 299 – with Joe Burrow and Nick Bosa seen taking pictures with former president Donald Trump.

Trump, who has been spotted numerous times at UFC events, was greeted by the two NFL stars – one of whom has been a vocal supporter of his in the past.

The three of them spoke briefly ringside before taking a picture, which was posted to the account of Trump advisor Dan Scavino Jr.

Bosa has been an outspoken proponent of the former president in the past – tweeting out pro-Trump content before being picked second overall by the 49ers in 2019.

Since then, he has kept his political beliefs more toned down than before he was drafted.

Burrow, on the other hand, hasn’t made his politics as well known – but has taken stances on certain issues that skew differently than the 45th president’s.

Back in 2020, Burrow told Bengals senior writer Geoff Hobson, “I’m not into the whole politics thing … I’m passionate about what I believe in. 

‘To me, that’s racial inequality. Socioeconomic inequality. To me, that’s not politics, its human rights. 

‘It’s giving the same opportunities to people regardless of their skin color or social status.’

Burrow has also taken stances on abortion rights, gun control, and other social issues in the past.

Not only was the former president at the event, but his daughter Ivanka Trump was also spotted in the crowd.

The former President strolled in with Ivanka during the undercard ahead of the Sean O’Malley-Marlon Vera main event. And as has been the case with his previous appearances at UFC events, Trump was joined by the organization’s founder, Dana White.

The 54-year-old White has been a staunch supporter of Trump and once got into an argument with a sponsor over a social media post involving the former President.

Also similar to his previous cage-side appearances: Fans showered the Republican presidential nominee with applause as a Kid Rock anthem played out over the arena’s sound system. 

This time, Trump’s well-wishers included Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who approached the former President in a colorful Hawaiian shirt, patted him on the back and exchanged some quick pleasantries. Interestingly, while Portnoy was previously supportive of Trump, he recently backed Nikki Haley’s doomed campaign for the GOP presidential nomination.  

Former ESPN host Sage Steele was also seen speaking with Trump. Steele has recently become popular among Trump supporters for her outspoken criticism of trans athletes in women’s sports and her outrage at ESPN’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate. 

Everyone there saw a dominant performance from bantamweight fighter O’Malley – who avenged a loss to Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera by defeating him in a unanimous decision victory.
