Donald Trump receives hero’s welcome at UFC 314 as he’s flanked by MAGA entourage including Elon & granddaughter Kai
DONALD Trump stole the spotlight at UFC 314, storming into Miami’s Kaseya Center to a thunderous standing ovation.
Flanked by an entourage of political powerhouses and famous allies, the US President was welcomed to the Saturday night fight by packed arena drenched in red MAGA hats and chants of “USA!”
With Tesla billionaire Elon Musk on one side and podcast king Joe Rogan on the other, Trump pumped his fist to Taking Care of Business – turning the UFC 314 into a MAGA-rally-meets-celebrity-showdown.
In a dark suit and bold yellow tie, the Republican strongman went on to work the crowd, waving, shaking hands, and briefly dancing to YMCA as his image beamed across the arena.
Trump made the UFC showdown a family affair, as he was joined by his golfer granddaughter Kai and two other grandchildren.
But it was far from a quiet night out.
He was accompanied by a who’s who of MAGA brass: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Ted Cruz, and senior comms aides Steven Cheung and Taylor Budowich.
UFC President Dana White, a longtime Trump ally, walked with him into the arena, where Barstool founder Dave Portnoy and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal were also present.
Trump was then seen greeting Rogan with a hug and shared moments with Musk, who had his son X Æ A-12 perched on his shoulders in ear protectors.
“You know who’s winning tonight? Dana White is winning tonight, he’s the only winner,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One before touchdown.
It was a nod to his close friendship with the UFC boss, who has backed him through every campaign and even spoke at his inauguration.
It was Trump’s first UFC visit since retaking office in January – a return to the octagon just months after he sat cageside at Madison Square Garden for UFC 309.
