Trump thanks Dana White, UFC fans for raucous welcome at MSG

"THANK YOU TO THE GREAT DANA WHITE AND #UFC309!" he wrote in posts on X and Truth Social along with a video of himself and his Cabinet nominees.

"If people at home could hear the sound in this room right now. It is so loud!" Rogan said on the pay-per-view broadcast. "It's always loud when he comes in, but now that he's won [the election], now that he's the president again, oh my God!"

The broadcast added that those able to stand inside the arena were doing so as the video board started playing a video montage for Trump's arrival. Chants of "USA! USA!" also filled the arena.

Several fighters paid homage to Trump during the night, including Jon Jones and Bo Nickal.

White was asked after the event whether another Trump presidency will ultimately be good for the business of UFC.

"Things are already getting better. He's not even in there yet."

"One down, one to go. (Los Angeles) - let's get L.A. back."
