Trump is evidently securing ample support from a substantial section of the MMA community. Several UFC stars voiced their concerns when Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Moreover, the former United States president's support has been integral to the Las Vegas-based promotion's growth since its Zuffa days, helping to stage the UFC 31 and UFC 32 events at the formerly operational Trump Taj Mahal.
UFC CEO Dana White is engaging all influential factors in endorsing the Trump campaign, most recently delivering a spirited introduction speech for the 78-year-old at the Republican National Convention.
As for Abdelaziz, he posted a picture with Trump, who was in attendance for UFC 302. He captioned the post:
"I had the pleasure today seeing President Trump again with the @khabib_nurmagomedov. President Trump told Khabib he is his favorite fighter of all time."

When Ali Abdelaziz spoke in defense of Donald Trump during hush-money charges
Earlier this year, Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of felony business fraud in connection with hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
The jurors claimed that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels to influence the outcome of the 58th presidential elections. It's important to note that the charges do not prevent Trump from continuing his presidential campaign nor from serving as the president should he win the elections.
Speaking in defense of Trump amid those charges in an interview with TMZ Sports, Ali Abdelaziz stated:
"Whatever these people are doing to President Trump is si*k. The United States is the greatest country on the planet, and they deserve someone like President Trump. Guess what? They just pis*ed a whole bunch of people off. Now, they just make it clear he's gonna be the next president of the United States. The people now understand this can be me, this can be you if they do it to him."
