Throughout the evening, he was seated alongside UFC President Dana White and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Among those accompanying the President-elect were some of Trump’s key cabinet selections: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. Vivek Ramaswamy, set to head Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency” in collaboration with Musk for cost-cutting efforts, was also present. All of the Republicans, who were present there sure enjoyed the thrilling moments of the match, and as it was finally over, Trump took to his X handle to share a video of his love for the nation and captioned it as, “THANK YOU TO THE GREAT DANA WHITE AND #UFC309!”

Jon Jones safeguarded his heavyweight gold at the UFC 309 when he stopped Stipe Miocic in the third round to retain the belt. ‘Bones’  threw a spinning back-kick to Miocic’s midsection leading to the end of the match as he clinched the victory by way of knockout.

He further added, “The nerves you added to this event. I was so nervous. I’m glad I impressed you.”
