Donald Trump told former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov that he will stop the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, during an appearance at UFC 302 on Saturday. <br/><br/>The former US President was given a standing ovation as he walked into the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, alongside UFC CEO Dana White to watch the event.<br/><br/>It comes after current US President Joe Biden urged Hamas to accept a new peace deal offered by Israel to end the conflict in Gaza on Friday, stating: 'It is time for the war to end.' <br/><br/>Trump's appearance at the MMA event was also one of the first times the former President had been seen since he was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records on Thursday during his hush money trial. It means he became the first former US President to face a criminal trial and it could upend his race to sit in the White House again.<br/><br/>The 77-year-old was pictured holding up his hand in appreciation to the crowd as he made his way towards The Octagon.

He posted his first video on Saturday night inside the venue, with White appearing to announce the former President's new TikTok channel.<br/><br/>The 13-second video shows Trump entering the arena while waving to fans. He also shook hands and took selfies with several members of the audience.<br/><br/>'The president is now on TikTok', White said while standing next to Trump during the video. <br/><br/>The Republican has staggeringly amassed 3.4 million followers on the platform since posting his first video on Saturday, despite having previously tried to ban the app, because its parent company i
