Donald Trump should probably stop going to public sporting events.

Less than a week after being booed at the World Series, the president experienced an encore, when he showed up at UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday. Upon entering MSG, Trump was showered with boos, and yes, it was all caught on tape.

Prior to the event, protesters gathered outside of MSG in anticipation of POTUS’ arrival.

The boos likely weren’t weren’t reserved for Trump alone, as he showed up to the fight with House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy, North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, New York Rep. Peter King, and his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. And while the boos were indeed loud, CNN reports that some in the audience cheered as Trump made his way to his seats.

According to CNN, some people in the audience were holding signs that read "Remove Trump" and "Impeach Trump." There were also reports that some were chanting the lyrics from YG and Nipsey Hussle’s “F*ck Donald Trump.” Meanwhile, Trump seemed oblivious to all the hate, and was seen waving despite the boos.

The evening's main event was a hugely anticipated match between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvida, but something tells us it won't be the biggest takeaway from the night,
