It appears that Donald Trump will be attending UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Last week, Trump won the Presidential election after handily defeating Kamala Harris.
After his big win, Trump had UFC CEO Dana White speak during his victory speech at Mar-a-Lago.
“Nobody deserves this more than him, and nobody deserves this more than his family does. This is what happens when the machine comes after you” said White. “This is karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this. They deserve it as a family,”

According to UFC’s Bo Nickal, Trump told him he will be attending the fight card at MSG on Saturday.
“I think he’s gonna be there,” Nickal said. “He told me a couple of times that he’s gonna be there. He’s the President. … I’m sure that if he’s not (at UFC 309), there was something else that was more important.”
