The Swedish superstar is working as an expert for Fox during the World Cup. Since the championship started last week, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has frequently been seen on the broadcasts.
But when it was time for Sweden's opening match, "Ibra" was free - the 44-year-old instead appeared at the UFC gala at the White House hosted by President Donald Trump.
"It feels fantastic. Let's hope for a great fight," the Swede said in a clip posted on social media.
The gala was part of Donald Trump's 80th birthday celebration.
