UFC star Jorge Masvidal says fighting in front of President Trump will be a “humbling” experience … telling TMZ Sports he’s honored to put on a show in front of POTUS!!!
As we previously reported … a TON of star power will be watching Masvidal take on Nate Diaz for the “Bad Mother F**ker” belt at MSG on Saturday — from The Rock to Robert Kraft to yes, the President of the United States of America!!!
Masvidal says politics aside, it’s a once in a lifetime moment at UFC 244 … and he’s going to make the best of it, saying some fighters who love Trump will never even get this opportunity.
“Not every fighter can say, ‘Hey, the president is showing up to my fight’, you know? So, that’s humbling in itself.”

Of course, with Masvidal being from Miami, we had to ask about Dwayne Johnson being there as well … and he says the whole event is such a big deal, he can’t even think about all of the hype until AFTER the fight.
“All these amazing things, I can’t think about them too much,” Mas said. “I gotta keep reminding myself, ‘Man, it’s just a fight.'”
