Bill Burr is a popular comedian and actor who is friends with UFC commentator and fellow comedian Joe Rogan. Burr and his wife, Nia Renee Hill, were in attendance at UFC 295 in Madison Square Garden. Also in attendance were former President Donald Trump and his associates, Kid Rock and Tucker Carlson. Trump received the biggest applause from the audience at the event. However, this upset Hill. She flipped Trump when he was shown on screen as she was seated behind him in the second row.

Burr was a recent guest on the Rich Eisen Show to promote his film Old Dads on Netflix. During the show, Eisen humorously asked about how his wife’s finger was doing, referencing the flipping incident on Trump. This is what he said in reply.

I love my wife, you know where I stand with her. Okay, the guy walked in the arena, everybody cheered, she gave him the finger, nobody got arrested. That's why this country is great, everybody expressed themselves..................I came there to go to the fights. I didn't know I was going to the Republican National Convention.

Burr was quick to point out the fact that the audience expressed their views without being arrested. Moreover, he also talked about his bewilderment at seeing many members and associates of the Republican Party at the event. Even though UFC CEO Dana White has no political affiliations, he is a very close friend of Donald Trump. White even talked on behalf of Trump at the Republican National Convention when Trump ran for office for the first time.

Donald Trump’s friendship with UFC CEO Dana White began at UFC 30. Many states banned the UFC. Moreover, venues were reluctant to host UFC events. Furthermore, Trump personally called White to offer help. The Trump Taj Mahal hosted UFC 30 and UFC 30. Trump was in attendance at many UFC events. His first appearance at an event as a US President was at UFC 244. At UFC 244, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal fought for the inaugural BMF title.

UFC 295 was one of the most successful events for the UFC at MSG. It generated the second-best live gate at MSG, only behind UFC 205. Conor McGregor became the simultaneous double champion at UFC 205 with a victory over Eddie Alvarez. UFC 295 also caught the attention of Bill Burr’s wife, Nia Renee Hill, flipping Trump on-screen.

Trump has a big following in the UFC community. Fans and fighters have publicly voiced support for the former US President. Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal are the favorite fighters of Donald Trump. In addition, Beneil Dariush, Justin Gaethje, and their manager, Ali Abdelaziz, are also staunch supporters of Trump. Hill’s reaction to Trump was brutally trolled on social media.

Burr and his wife attended the UFC 295 mainly due to their connection with UFC commentator and comedian Joe Rogan. Rogan, in a recent podcast episode, showed his surprise at the reception that Trump got from the arena. Only Alex Pereira, who headlined the event against Jiri Prochazka, received a similar reception from the crowd.
