President-elect Donald Trump returned to Madison Square Garden on Saturday evening for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 309 fight, receiving roaring applause from the crowd.

Accompanied by UFC CEO Dana White, Trump was closely followed by some of his Cabinet appointees, including billionaire Elon Musk, former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
