This past Monday, Donald Trump’s inauguration took place and several combat sports athletes and icons were in attendance.

Donald Trump has always been a huge fan of the UFC and combat sports and his early work in the UFC went a long way in saving the promotion in the early days.

And with that, it was no surprise to see a plethora of the sport’s stars in attendance at Trump’s inauguration this past Monday, ahead of his second presidency.

The huge event even saw rivals come together as Conor McGregor embraced longtime rivals, Jake Paul and Logan Paul, potentially putting their feuds to bed.

Joe Rogan shares ‘great night’ with Jake Paul and others

UFC icon, Joe Rogan is a close friend of Trump and Dana White, who has been extremely close to the president throughout his campaign and subsequent election and was also in attendance for the inauguration.

Rogan was there with podcast friends, Theo Von and Tony Hinchcliffe and also rubbed shoulders with fellow UFC icons, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones.

“Twas a great night at the ball,” Paul captioned an image of him, his brother, Rogan, and other attendees.

As well as seemingly putting his feud with McGregor to bed, ‘The Problem’ Child came face-to-face with Mike Tyson for the first time since their controversial fight this past November.

Despite the criticism the Paul brothers have received from their involvement in combat sports, Rogan has always been complimentary of their involvement, labeling them as ‘genius’.

What’s next for Jake Paul in combat sports?

The 27-year-old may have felt unfortunate to seemingly miss out on a boxing fight against ‘The Notorious’ McGregor when there were heightened talks that the Irishman was going to fight Logan in India.

Despite that, talks have seemingly tempered, and ‘The Maverick’ is putting 100% dedication into his WWE career.

For several years now since his signing with the PFL, there have been talks that Jake will finally make his long-awaited MMA debut, and PFL CEO, Don Davis is confident that it will happen this year.

Despite that, the promotion seemingly offered Paul’s former boxing rival, Nate Diaz a huge payday to take him on in MMA, however, Diaz denied the offer.

It is unclear as of this moment whether ‘The Problem Child’s’ next fight will take place in the boxing ring or the MMA cage but as always, the disruptor has many options.
