The show went on in Denver on Saturday night after the shooting at Donald Trump's rally.

UFC Fight Night was underway shortly after what is widely believed to be an assassination attempt on the former president.

The company's president, Dana White, has long been friendly with Trump, speaking at several of his rallies in the past. White is also reportedly slated to speak right before Trump at the Republican National Convention this week.

Evan Elder, apparently, is a supporter as well.

After his win by submission against Darrius Flowers on the preliminary card, Elder voiced his support for his "boy."

"I heard they just tried to whack my boy Trump. I'm glad that man is OK – long live Trump, let's go baby. Trump 2024!" he said after his victory to applause.

Trump has long been a fan of the UFC, attending several events over the last several years. He most recently attended UFC 302 in Newark for the Islam Makhachev-Dustin Poirier title fight, just two days after he was found guilty on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
