Donald Trump Gets Massive Ovation At UFC Fights Just Days After Conviction
TNT
Donald Trump was in the building at UFC 302 Saturday night — just 2 days later and 9 miles away from the NYC courtroom where he was convicted this week — and the former president received a rousing standing ovation from the packed crowd!
Trump walked into the Prudential Center shortly after the main card kicked off, flanked by UFC honcho and close friend, Dana White, and a gang of Secret Service agents.
45 was shown on the big screen inside the Newark, NJ arena, and many of the near-17k MMA fans lost it!
“The round of applause he’s getting right now is pretty staggering,” Joe Rogan reacted on the broadcast.
As Trump made his way to his seat, he shook dozens of hands … including Rogan’s.
One person who didn’t stand up, or even appear to cheer, was Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers who was sitting with former teammate Marcedes Lewis. AR is close with DT opponent Robert Kennedy Jr. … who even considered the 4x NFL MVP as his running mate. RFK Jr. instead selected Nicole Shanahan.

If the standing ovation wasn’t enough of a clue that the crowd was decidedly in Trump’s favor (Aaron aside) … the “F*** Joe Biden” was surely all the proof you need.

Trump ultimately sat right up against the Octagon, next to White. Kevin Holland, after an impressive armbar stoppage, approached Donald and shared a few words with the 2024 presidential candidate. Sean Strickland also showed love to DT after his win against Paulo Costa.
Of course, the arrival of Trump comes just over 48 hours after he was convicted on 34 criminal counts in a New York City courthouse.
It seems clear the trial and conviction only strengthened the former president’s appeal … at least among the MMA crowd in New Jersey.

2026 Golden Globes
Nikki Glaser Shouts Out Rob Reiner …
Dons ‘Spinal Tap’ Hat at Close of Show
Published
Rob Reiner wasn’t forgotten at this year’s Golden Globe awards … because host Nikki Glaser paid tribute to him just weeks after his murder.
Here’s the deal … during the sign-off for the awards show, Nikki came onstage wearing a black and white “Spinal Tap” hat — the band which serves as the subject of Reiner’s iconic 1984 mockumentary of the same name.
Worth noting … the Golden Globes do not typically air an in memoriam — so this was the only time Reiner was mentioned at the show.
As you know … Rob and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Los Angeles home last month. Their son Nick Reiner has been arrested for murder in connection to the case.
TMZ.com
Nick’s arraignment was scheduled for last week … but, his lawyer Alan Jackson dropped out of the case — leaving Nick with a public defender and new arraignment date set for late February.
Jackson told a gaggle of reporters outside the courthouse that Nick’s not guilty … but, he simply can’t defend him. He did not provide a reason for his withdrawal.
Our new documentary “TMZ Investigates The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened” dives into Rob and Michele’s grisly deaths … as well as Nick’s history of mental health issues and even how his weight gain set him on a dangerous path.
“TMZ Investigates The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened” is now streaming on Hulu.
On-air challenge

Last week’s challenge
Last week’s challenge was a numerical one from Ed Pegg Jr., who runs the website mathpuzzle.com. Take the nine digits — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. You can group some of them and add arithmetic operations to get 2011 like this: 1 + 23 ÷ 4 x 5 x 67 – 8 + 9. If you do these operations in order from left to right, you get 2011. Well, 2011 was 15 years ago. Can you group some of the digits and add arithmetic symbols in a different way to make 2026? The digits from 1 to 9 need to stay in that order. I know of two different solutions, but you need to find only one of them.
Challenge answer
12 × 34 × 5 – 6 – 7 + 8 – 9 [or] 1 + 2 + 345 × 6 – 7 × 8 + 9
Winner
Daniel Abramson of Albuquerque, N.M.
