Donald Trump became the new US president after he decisively defeated Kamala Harris in the election. The UFC chief appeared at a rally where he spoke from the stage.
Donald Trump was still appearing at the gala events of the UFC organization during his previous term. In recent years, he has also been at major events featuring fighters who openly support Trump. Now the president-elect will have more opportunities to do so. Even before the election, Trump announced that if he wins he will appear at the UFC 309: Jones vs Miocić gala.
Donald Trump won a crushing victory in the election and will return to the white house to serve as US president after four years. When the results were announced, Trump was accompanied by Dana White, head of the UFC organization. Moments later, Dana even gave a brief speech on stage.
– Ladies and gentlemen, it’s karma. Karma is coming back. No one deserves it more than Donald and his family. It happens when the machine, when the system gets behind you. No one could stop it. He keeps moving forward. He’s the most resilient guy I’ve ever met in my life. He totally deserves it. At the very end, I would like to thank the great and powerful Joe Rogan. Thank you America, thank you.
JUST IN: Dana White goes off, thanks Joe Rogan for endorsing Donald Trump and helping him over the finish line.

Dana White rightly mentioned Joe Rogan‘s name during the speech. Donald Trump’s visit to Rogan’s podcast has reverberated around the world. In the era of the strenuous decline of standard television, Trump secured a mass of new audiences from the younger generation thanks to his conversation with Rogan, some of whom will probably cast their votes for him.
The support of the UFC’s top staff proved invaluable in this case. Another in the “camp” of the well-known who have openly advocated for Trump is Elon Musk. It is worth noting that both TKO Group (the UFC’s parent company) and Tesla shares went up after Trump’s victory was announced.
