UFC 317 is just around the corner.
That’s where Ilia Topuria will challenge Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title, abandoned by Islam Makhachev in his quest to pursue welterweight gold. The action gets underway this Sat. night (June 28, 2025) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And U.S. President Donald Trump might be in attendance.
“While Donald Trump has his hands full with plenty of political affairs at the moment, he always seems to find time for his favorite activities and a trip to Las Vegas is definitely on the cards for this weekend,” said BetIdeas.com spokesman Steven McQuillan. “It’s still a bit of a long shot that he comes, but it feels like if there was ever another card for him to visit at the moment, it would be this one.”
The odds of Trump attending are currently +200.
Trump is a frequent guest at UFC events, thanks to his longstanding bromance with UFC CEO, Dana White, and was last seen cageside for the UFC 316 extravaganza in Newark. That said, the s—t hit the proverbial fan last week and Trump might be too busy for UFC.
We’ll find out on Saturday night.
