Donald Trump has been in the news for quite a few hours now. His rally in Pennsylvania turned out to be a dangerous situation as a man tried to fatally wound the former president with an assassination attempt. But guess what? Trump survived and an array of reactions, primarily from Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington, who’ve always stood in support of the 78-year-old, followed soon.

Conor McGregor, Sean Strickland, and many more reacted to the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally. As per reports, the culprit, who was killed by the Secret Service Agents, fired eight rounds from his gun, which could only clip Donald Trump on his right ear, but still stood strong. Images of him raising his fist to his supporters while blood dripped out of his ear have gone viral on social media and a couple of standout UFC stars commended him for that grand gesture.

Following the incident at Donald Trump’s rally, Colby Covington lauded the former president for showing great character, while also praying for his and his family’s well-being. “President Trump is the toughest man on the face of this earth. God bless him and his family right now,” Covington posted on X. Meanwhile, his arch-nemesis and former friend-turned-foe, Jorge Masvidal, also shared his takeaway about Trump after he survived the shooting attempt.

Jorge Masvidal did not just offer support to Donald Trump. The retired UFC star also offered some suggestions to the former president’s supporters, asking them to condemn the people who were happy about this incident in Pennsylvania.

“God loves this man! I’m happy that President Trump is ok. The left knows no bounds! They say they are the non violent ones. They  will stop at nothing! Make sure you take screen shots of any leftist celebrating what happened today,” tweeted Jorge Masvidal. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at what UFC’s big boss, Dana White had to say about the shooting.

Dana White loves Italy, and we believe that because he often travels to that country to unwind and get away from the chaos of the UFC. But this time, while traveling to ‘Bel Paese’, he could not resist but react to Donald Trump serving the shooting in Pennsylvania as the former president probably has the closest relationship in the sporting world with the CEO of the world’s biggest MMA promotion. White posted the now-trending image of Trump, on Instagram, throwing his fist in the air while announcing that he will indeed accompany the former president at the Republican National Convention.

“I’m on a plane right now flying to Italy and my phone has been blowing up with text messages from people informing me [Donald Trump] was shot,” wrote Dana White. “I hope the weak coward that shot him gets what he deserves, and I can’t WAIT to stand up on stage with him on Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly the character of the friend and man I KNOW!!”

Dana White never shies away from speaking his mind about whom he supports and whom he despises. As such, he’s there for Donald Trump, once again vocally expressing his support for him, along with a plethora of UFC stars.
