JUST IN: Trump Makes Incredible Post-Election Entrance At UFC 309 In Madison Square Garden

President-elect Donald Trump received an overwhelmingly positive ovation from the crowd at Madison Square Garden — in the heart of deep blue New York City — when he made his entrance at UFC 309 on Saturday evening.

The president-elect was flanked by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), top-rated conservative radio host Dan Bongino, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., UFC President Dana White and a number of additional key members of his entourage when he made his triumphant post-election entrance.

While Trump initially received a rather icy reaction from the Madison Square Garden crowd when he became the first sitting president to attend a UFC event in 2019, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive on Saturday night. The president-elect stopped to shake hands with and give high-fives to supporters as he entered the world’s most famous arena.

UFC commentators Jon Anik, Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan noted that the crowd was deafeningly loud as the president-elect made his entrance.

Once he made his way to his seats, the president-elect took a moment to hug and briefly chat with Rogan. The world’s top-rated podcast host conducted what is on pace to be his most-viewed interview in history just two weeks before the election, and ultimately granted then-candidate Trump his endorsement a little over 24 hours before the first polls closed on Election Day.

Once Trump took his usual Octagon-side seat alongside Dana White and Elon Musk, the crowd continued to loudly chant “USA, USA!”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was then shown on the stadium Jumbotron, drawing cheers from the crowd. The camera then panned to Trump, causing the crowd to erupt with cheers and applause once again.

Trump previously received a positive reception from a New York area crowd when he turned up at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey just days after he was convicted in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s bogus “hush money” case this past spring. “Boy, the round of applause he’s getting right now is pretty staggering,” Rogan said on the broadcast at the time. “And you had to have imagined that’s what was going to happen.”

That event marked the first time Trump had attended a UFC main card since March of this year, when he held two rallies earlier in the day before sitting cage-side at UFC 299 in Miami. Prior to that, he received a roaring ovation from fans at Madison Square Garden once again.
