According to Reuters , Donald Trump entered the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) arena at Madison Square Garden before the fight began to the cheers of the crowd.
Accompanying the President-elect were billionaire Elon Musk, UFC President Dana White, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, his two sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and singer Kid Rock.
Some of the advisors chosen by Trump to serve as officials in the new administration were also present, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

A large security force was also deployed around Madison Square Garden. This entertainment venue has a capacity of over 20,000 spectators.
The US President-elect then sat between Mr. White and billionaire Musk. Mr. Trump watched intently the MMA heavyweight world championship fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. The fight lasted until 1:30 a.m. on November 17th.
After his victory, boxer Jon Jones went down to the stands to shake hands and thank Mr. Trump.
This is the second time Trump has left his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida since his election on November 5th. On November 13th, Trump will go to the White House to meet with President Joe Biden to discuss the transition of power.
UFC President Dana White is a close friend of Mr. Trump. Furthermore, the US President-elect is also a fan of mixed martial arts (MMA). During a period when MMA was banned in many US states, Mr. Trump allowed the UFC to hold events at his Taj Mahal casino in New Jersey.
This year, the UFC president has attended numerous campaign events and spoken in support of Trump in the race for the White House.
Billionaire Elon Musk was one of Trump's strongest supporters after the assassination attempt in July, and also provided $118 million to the Republican presidential super-action committee. Trump subsequently chose Musk to head the Government Performance Board.
