President Trump made a striking entrance at UFC 316 on Saturday night, igniting a wave of “USA!” chants from an enthusiastic crowd at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.
Accompanied by UFC CEO Dana White, Trump walked ringside to the sounds of Kid Rock’s “American Badass,” setting the tone for an event filled with excitement.
Among the notable figures he greeted were former World Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, both of whom added to the star-studded atmosphere.
In a display of accessibility, Trump also exchanged pleasantries with various fans in attendance, further amplifying the celebratory mood surrounding his arrival.
Notable attendees included First Daughter Ivanka Trump, First Son Eric Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and New Jersey's Acting Attorney Alina Habba, all present to witness the high-stakes bouts.
Previously, during his last UFC outing, Trump was seen alongside SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who recently stirred controversy with a series of erratic posts on social media regarding the president.
The main event featured a bantamweight clash between Merab “The Machine” Dvalishvili and “Sugar” Sean O’Malley. Dvalishvili entered the fight boasting an impressive record of 11 consecutive victories in the UFC bantamweight division.
