Jon “Bones” Jones showcased his dominance in the main event of UFC 309, defeating Stipe Miocic in an impressive fight. Following his victory, Jones gave a memorable post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, where he expressed his gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump for attending the event. Jones even led a “USA! USA!” chant and imitated Trump’s signature dance move before leaving the Octagon to greet the president-elect.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. Make an Appearance
The main event wasn’t just about punches – it featured some prominent attendees as well. President-elect Donald Trump returned to the same venue where he held a pre-election rally, accompanied by a group of well-known figures.
Star-Studded Entrance to the Octagon-Side Seats
Trump, joined by his close friend and UFC CEO Dana White, made a grand entrance alongside high-profile companions, including Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and Vivek Ramaswamy. Also present were Tulsi Gabbard, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and DJT’s pick for Director of National Intelligence. Kid Rock joined the group, adding to the spectacle with one of his hit songs as the entourage walked in. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were spotted as well.
Trump’s History with the UFC
Trump’s presence at the UFC event was no surprise to many, given his longstanding relationship with Dana White. The UFC CEO had hinted earlier that Trump might attend the MSG event. UFC fighter Michael Chandler, who faced Charles Oliveira in the co-main event, even mentioned that Trump had promised to attend if he won the presidential election – a promise that Trump fulfilled.
This memorable night highlighted not only spectacular fights but also a gathering of political and business leaders, solidifying Trump’s support for the sport and furthering his connection to the UFC community.
