President Trump recently received a big sign of respect and solidarity from South African UFC fighter Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290.
Following Plessis’ victory in a match, he jumped the fence and proceeded to shake President Trump’s hand, not in an obligatory way, but the stuff of true support, respect, and solidarity.
It’s obvious that the 45th President of the United States has support all around the world. …
After all, who can look at the geopolitical disaster that has transpired, and is currently unfolding, under the dark reign of the Biden regime and not want President Trump back?
Here’s the moment from multiple angles, as well as reactions from UFC enthusiasts:
This man @dricusduplessis is not an American, he’s an international fighter from South Africa
The calls for a Trump return transcend the boundaries of the United States

Bryan Chai at Western Journal highlighted the heartwarming interaction and jokingly wrote:
After Du Plessis picked up that win, he actually hopped over the cage wall and respectfully bowed and shook Trump’s hand.
That obviously put Du Plessis on the radar of Trump’s base, and wouldn’t you know it? Trump has a new African friend.
