Donald Trump Attends UFC 309 Alongside Kid Rock And Elon Musk

Saturday night’s UFC 309 event at Madison Square Garden was a star-studded affair, featuring Donald Trump, members of his prospective cabinet, and a host of high-profile celebrities.

The President-elect took a prime spot in the audience, joined by none other than his close friends, Elon Musk and Kid Rock, to enjoy the night’s action.

Donald Trump was clearly enjoying his time ringside as he took in the action, with some fighters, notably Jon Jones, paying tribute to him in the packed venue.

Trump took a ringside seat at the highly anticipated event, joined by Elon Musk, UFC CEO Dana White, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kid Rock.

He received a rousing welcome from the crowd, with chants of “USA! USA!” echoing through the arena. Trump was also spotted with UFC host and podcaster Joe Rogan, as well as Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy.

“If people at home could hear the sound in this room right now. It is so loud!” Joe Rogan commented to viewers during the fight broadcast as Trump made his entrance. “It’s always loud when he comes in, but now that he’s won [the election], now that he’s the president again, oh my God!”

During the UFC 309 event at Madison Square Garden, a campaign-style tribute video honoring President-elect Donald Trump was showcased on the jumbotron. The video included a moment of Trump raising his fist in defiance after surviving an assassination attempt in July.

This appearance comes shortly after Trump’s mega-MAGA rally at the Garden last month, which attracted over 20,000 supporters.

At UFC 309 on Saturday night, Jon Jones retained his heavyweight title with a third-round victory over Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden. Following his win, Jones presented his championship belt to President-elect Donald Trump, who was seated ringside, and expressed his appreciation during his victory speech.

Jones thanked Jesus Christ and acknowledged Trump’s attendance, saying, “I also wanna say a big, big thank you to President Donald Trump for being here tonight.” He then added, “Trump, check it out,” before playfully performing some of Trump’s iconic dance moves.

At UFC 309 on Saturday night, Donald Trump and Elon Musk were spotted sipping on Prime energy drinks while seated ringside. The beverage, co-owned by social media stars KSI and Logan Paul, has become a global sensation since its launch, sponsoring major sporting events and appearing on supermarket shelves worldwide. However, due to its high caffeine content, Prime has faced restrictions in schools and among minors in several countries.

In the United States, Senator Chuck Schumer previously called on the FDA to investigate Prime, citing concerns over its high caffeine content and "unclear marketing." Schumer claimed that parents were unknowingly purchasing "a cauldron of caffeine" for their children.

Despite the controversy, Prime remains a prominent brand, serving as the official hydration partner of the UFC and featuring prominently in the branding around the cage at Madison Square Garden during UFC 309.

The star-studded crowd at UFC 309 included Jelly Roll, Tom Aspinall, Triple H, Karl Anthony Towns, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Kiedis.

Political figures such as RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, and House Speaker Mike Johnson were also in attendance.
