Former kickboxer and controversial figure Andrew Tate attended UFC 313 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night, just one day after being at Dana White’s Power Slap 12 event in Las Vegas at Fontainebleau.
Tate and his brother, Tristan, left Romania in late February after a travel ban was lifted. They are facing serious charges, including human trafficking, as part of an alleged organized crime ring. Additionally, Andrew Tate has been charged with rape.
The Tate brothers, who hold both U.S. and British citizenship, were arrested in December 2022 and indicted the following year. They have denied all allegations.
On February 27, the brothers arrived in Florida, and Florida’s attorney general announced an investigation into their activities earlier this week.
“We live in a democratic society where it’s innocent until proven guilty. I think my brother and I are largely misunderstood,” Andrew Tate stated while in Florida.
On Friday, UFC President Dana White was seen greeting Andrew and Tristan Tate with handshakes and hugs. In a viral video, White can be heard saying, “Welcome to the States, boys.”
