Donald Trump, the former US president, is present at UFC 290, further solidifying his reputation as the fight president.

Trump has made previous appearances at UFC events, including UFC 264 and UFC 287. He has even provided fight commentary, taking the microphone during Vitor Belfort’s dominant victory over Evander Holyfield.

Tonight, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Trump is attending as a spectator. As the pay-per-view portion of UFC 290 began, cameras captured Trump being escorted to his VIP seats by Dana White himself.

It is expected that he will enjoy the upcoming championship bouts featuring Yair Rodriguez and Brandon Moreno.

It seems that Trump is having a great time so far. At one point, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier temporarily stepped away from their commentary duties to converse with Trump when he approached them.

There were already speculations that Donald Trump might show up at UFC 290, and video footage from SteveWillDoIt, a close friend of Dana White and a popular YouTube influencer, confirmed that Trump was indeed in Vegas spending time with White.

However, it should be noted that Trump’s attendance at the event is not merely for show. Dana White has verified that Trump is a passionate fan who frequently calls him to discuss recent fights.

“So this guy calls me twice a month and will talk to me for an hour about fights that have happened since we last talked,” White said back in April. “And he knows everybody. He knows what they did and who they fought last. He’s a huge fight fan. Loves this stuff.”

Australia’s major parties restore Coalition unity after three weeks, with Nationals frontbenchers rejoining shadow cabinet and ministers pledging commitment.

Australia’s Liberal and National parties have agreed to restore their historic Coalition partnership after a three-week split, marking their second reconciliation in under a year. The deal ensures stability ahead of upcoming political challenges.

Under the agreement, Nationals frontbenchers will return to the shadow cabinet by March 1. This move signals a return to unified leadership as both parties aim to present a stronger front in parliament.

As part of the compromise, three senators who broke party solidarity during a recent vote face a six-week suspension. All shadow ministers will also sign an agreement to uphold cabinet unity and prevent future splits.

Morgan McSweeney resigned amid scrutiny of Peter Mandelson’s US ambassadorship; Keir Starmer claims he was misled about Epstein ties.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, has resigned amid scrutiny over Peter Mandelson’s appointment as U.K. ambassador to the U.S. McSweeney accepted responsibility for the controversial decision, calling stepping aside the honourable choice.

Lawmakers raised questions about Mandelson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The Epstein files indicate Mandelson maintained contact with Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, intensifying the controversy surrounding his diplomatic appointment.

Starmer confirmed that Mandelson misled him about the extent of their friendship and pledged to release documents confirming the details. The resignation signals a significant shake-up in Starmer’s team and ongoing political fallout.

Japan’s ruling party expected to strengthen majority in Lower House election despite heavy snowfall, says local forecasts.

Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party is projected to tighten its grip on power following a decisive Lower House election, according to local media forecasts. Early projections suggest the LDP will secure between 274 and 328 seats in the 465-seat chamber, significantly strengthening its parliamentary position.

Together with coalition partner the Japan Innovation Party, the governing bloc is expected to cross the 300-seat mark, with some estimates putting the total as high as 366 seats. Voter turnout remained resilient despite heavy snow across parts of the country, as citizens braved severe weather to cast their ballots.

The election was called by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in January, a move widely viewed as a strategic gamble to capitalise on her strong public approval ratings. The result appears to reinforce her mandate and consolidate political stability in Japan’s national leadership.
