Trump, Elon Musk, and Cabinet Members Make Headlines at UFC Event in Miami

In a bold and high-energy appearance, President Donald Trump was seen ringside at a packed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in Miami, alongside key members of his cabinet and tech mogul Elon Musk. The evening was more than just a sporting spectacle—it was a striking display of power, spectacle, and culture that reflected the emboldened posture of Trump’s second term.

The president entered the Kaseya Center to roaring applause and the booming anthem “American Bad Ass” by Kid Rock. Sitting alongside him were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Cheryl Hines, and Senator Ted Cruz. Elon Musk, accompanied by one of his children, shared the front-row view.

This marked the second UFC event Trump has attended since his 2024 reelection, and the first during his new term. The former casino mogul has a long history with combat sports, and his campaign has often mirrored the theatrical flair of such events—from music choices to dramatic stage entrances.

During the matches, Trump applauded fighters who celebrated like modern gladiators, including Dominick Reyes, who landed a brutal knockout blow that Musk later shared on X (formerly Twitter). Reyes posed for photos with Trump post-fight, adding another viral moment to the night.

However, the event wasn’t without awkward moments. A brief social media stir emerged when Trump initially missed Cheryl Hines’ attempt to greet him. The moment was quickly resolved, but not before going viral.

Controversy also loomed in the octagon. Arkansas fighter Bryce Mitchell—previously criticized for praising Adolf Hitler—was defeated by Brazil’s Jean Silva. The incident rekindled debate over free speech in sports, especially after UFC CEO Dana White publicly condemned Mitchell’s earlier remarks.

Saturday night was not just a fight night—it was a powerful reminder of Trump’s enduring cultural resonance. With high-profile allies by his side and a crowd that welcomed him like a champion, Trump showcased the showmanship and political bravado that continues to define his presidency.
