On Sunday, US President Donald Trump received a lavish welcome as he arrived at the UFC 314 event in Miami, Florida.
The Republican leader was warmly welcomed by his supporters amid chants of ‘USA.’ The White House shared on X, “President Trump Makes EPIC Entrance at UFC 314 in Miami. CROWD ERUPTS IN USA CHANT.”
A video that has gone viral, which HT has not been able to verify, shows Trump displaying his dance moves for the enthusiastic crowd at the UFC event.
One user on X remarked, “The signature dance as the President.”
“Is he trolling people with the color of his tie?” questioned an X user named @FFAFamily.
“Such amazing television. Feels like America is back again! Thank you Trump for being the ‘GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA!'” wrote @JacobColeMorby on X.
Trump was joined by several members of his administration and White House staff, including health and human services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FBI director Kash Patel, National Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard, and White House communications aides Steven Cheung and Taylor Budowich.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also accompanied Trump to UFC 314, according to an AP report.
Trump made his entrance into the arena alongside UFC President Dana White, a long-time associate, and was also accompanied by his granddaughter, Kai Trump, daughter of Donald Trump Jr.
Trump: A Longtime UFC Enthusiast
The Republican leader has always been a devoted UFC fan and sports aficionado, frequently attending major fights.
The mixed martial arts event at Miami’s Kaseya Center marked Trump’s first UFC attendance since assuming office in January, following his appearance at the Saudi-sponsored LIV golf tournament at his Miami golf club a few weeks prior.
In addition to the UFC events, Trump has also made appearances at the Super Bowl and the Daytona 500 since taking office. Last November, he sat cageside at a UFC championship fight in New York City moments after winning the 2024 election.
His strong ties with UFC have notably bolstered his 2024 presidential campaign among young male voters, emphasizing hypermasculine themes leading up to the November election, the report added.
