Donald Trump's UFC 316 appearance draws massive cheers from crowd
Donald Trump did his signature dance as he walked along the arena floor, and greeted UFC fans while making his way to his seat ringside.
Interestingly, the reception was similar to the one he got at the Kaseya Center in Miami at UFC 314, where he had a large entourage with him, including his granddaughter Kai Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel, as per Fox News.

Even though Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ivanka Trump were among those with him in New Jersey, Elon Musk, who was with Trump in Miami, didn’t walk out with him amid their ongoing feud.
Meanwhile, Trump was already in New Jersey before Saturday night’s fight at his golf course in Bedminster.

The POTUS also wrote on Truth Social about New Jersey’s upcoming primary on June 10, where he endorsed Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli for governor.
He wrote, "The Great State of New Jersey has a very important Primary coming up on Tuesday. Get Out and Vote for Jack Ciattarelli, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement!"
While Trump attended the fight, California's Kevin Holland defeated Brazil's Vicente Luque by submission and jumped out of the octagon to shake hands with a few, including the POTUS.
The duo exchanged some words before Holland continued his celebration.

Trump’s UFC 316 appearance took place as headlines about Los Angeles reeling from riots amid immigration crackdown continued to climb the trends.
The commander-in-chief also made waves on that front as his Newark outing aligned with reports of him deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to quell the unrest over raids connected with undocumented migrants.
