NEW YORK – Donald Trump kept his word by appearing in UFC 309 after winning the 2024 presidential election.

Just weeks after becoming president-elect of the United States for the second time, Trump appeared cageside for Saturday’s event at Madison Square Garden, exiting ahead of the pay-per-view main card alongside the UFC CEO. Dana White to loud applause from the crowd.

It’s become common for Trump to appear at UFC events, and he did so again to the sound of Kid Rock’s “American Badass.”
