US President Donald Trump’s appearance at UFC 314 drew widespread attention Saturday night—not just for the political fanfare or the championship fight, but for a spontaneous moment that quickly went viral. As the president entered the Kaseya Center in Miami to a wave of applause and cheers, he broke into his now-familiar celebratory dance.
The brief dance, involving slow air punches and a subtle sway of the hips, echoed Trump’s signature rally moves to the tune of “YMCA” by the Village People. Trump's moves- at the UFC event headlined by a featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lope- became a viral moment online.
Social media platforms quickly lit up with clips of the moment, sparking a wave of reactions. "No one can match vibe of Trump," said once user sharing a clip of similar dance moves by Trump in the past. many labelled the moment as "iconic" or "legendary" while some said they were glad to see Trump enjoying. One user identified as Nichole Victoria on X went on to reply, "I just love him! He’s so cute!"
Trump, dressed in a dark suit and bright yellow tie, was joined cageside by UFC President Dana White, his granddaughter Kai Trump, and several prominent figures from his administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Senator Ted Cruz, and FBI Director Kash Patel. Elon Musk, currently leading the Department of Government Efficiency, and podcast host Joe Rogan were also seen seated alongside the president.
Saturday’s event marked Trump’s first UFC appearance since returning to office in January. Miami-Dade County—where Trump secured an 11-point lead in the last election.
