Such was seen last night when fighter Jorge Masvidal led the crowd in a \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d chant at the fight Trump showed up to.<\/p>\n<p>The 38-year-old UFC star fighter had lost the fight to Gilbert Burns, and speaking to UFC commenter and podcast host Joe Rogan after the fight, announced his retirement. Saying that he \u201cjust doesn\u2019t feel the same\u201d when he steps into the octagon now, he pulled the curtain on his career, which has spanned more than 50 fights (his record is 36-15).<\/p>\n<p>So, it was an emotional moment for Masvidal, but he quickly shifted gears and went from reflecting on and ending his career to supporting President Trump and mocking Slow Joe Biden. He pointed out that the recently indicted former president was at the Saturday night fight and called him\u00a0\u201cthe best president in the history of the world.\u201d He then called on the fans to keep Florida a red state.<\/p>\n<p>But that wasn\u2019t on. Moving from supporting Trump to attacking the left, Masvidal yelled that that \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon (expletive)\u201d needs to be removed from power. He then led the crowd in an epic \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d chant. He repeated it twice on the mic before exiting the octagon for the final time.
