And just like that the day is upon us. After the only tour that could rival the Jose Aldo-Conor McGregor world tour, the 2016 campaign tour has officially ended today with the inauguration of Donal Trump, being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
UFC President Dana White spoke at the Republican National Convention this past year, and invited the new President to UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden. So in that regard, the MMA world is no stranger to Trump. Nor is anyone really.
Of course the entire universe of social media today is all over the inauguration. So here are some reactions from the world of mixed martial arts…and maybe one or two from pro wrestling:

While I hate politicians having been part of revolutions I appreciate the process of transferring power peacefully. Happy #InaugurationDay pic.twitter.com/dDPUtZk7kq

He's the president now. Get over it, it's a done deal. Stop wasting energy being mad, take the energy and focus it on something positive.
