UFC 309 video: President-elect Donald Trump makes entrance in New York

NEW YORK – Donald Trump lived up to his word to appear at UFC 309 after winning the 2024 presidential election.

Just weeks after becoming president-elect in the U.S. for the second time, Trump appeared cageside for Saturday’s event at Madison Square Garden, walking out prior to the pay-per-view main card alongside UFC CEO Dana White to a raucous applause from the crowd.

It has become commonplace for Trump to appear at UFC events, and he did it again to the sounds of Kid Rock’s “American Badass.”
