Donald Trump is expected to show up later tonight (Sat., Nov. 16, 2024) at UFC 309 LIVE on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, but first the former President of the United States watched the “Prelims” undercard with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Trump Force One.
If Trump is in fact going to make an appearance for UFC 309’s PPV main card then he would need to get to New York in his plane. It wouldn’t be the first time Trump attended a high-profile UFC card, but it would be the first one since he was elected as the next President of the Unites States earlier this month.
While Trump typically only shows up when the top bouts get underway he is an avid fight fan. So it’s not surprising to see the former President catching some early “Prelims” action alongside RFK Jr. The two sat side-by-side in Trump Force One and appeared to catch Marcin Tybura’s bloody TKO victory over Jhonata Diniz. It was pretty cool to see.

UFC 309 will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between current UFC champion Jon Jones and former titleholder Stipe Miocic. In the co-main event, former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira meets knockout artist Michael Chandler in a pivotal 155-pound rematch. Undefeated sensation Bo Nickal — who Trump tried to manage — will also be in action against middleweight Paul Craig.
