Aaron Rodgers was at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday night, and he got to witness firsthand the thunderous applause former President Trump received when he walked into the arena before the start of the main card.

Videos circulating across social media showed Trump walking to his seat with UFC President Dana White. Rodgers and former Green Bay Packers teammate Mercedes Lewis sat as Trump walked past the two of them.

Fans of the New York Jets quarterback were quick to antagonize him on social media. Rodgers’ video he posted on his Instagram with Lewis filled the comments section with pro-Trump support. Rodgers backed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president.

Trump was making one of his first public appearances following last week's guilty verdict in his New York criminal case.

On Sunday, Rodgers posted a photo on his Instagram Stories showing that he shook hands with Trump in between fights.

New York acquired Rodgers in a stunning trade with the Green Bay Packers last offseason. There was tremendous hype around the quarterback and the team as they went into the first week of the 2023 season.

Unfortunately, Rodgers tore his Achilles four plays into the game and was out for the rest of the season.
