From the Super Bowl to the Daytona 500, and from the NCAA wrestling championship finals to the LIV Golf Tournament, prestigious sports events have become notable chapters in President Donald Trump’s second term diary. Most recently, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was added to this list, further marking the President’s footprint in the sporting world.
The week following the LIV Golf Tournament in Florida, the President pulled off a unique ‘golf hat trick’. He was not a mere attendee, rather, he engaged in playing and even participating at his trio of Trump National Golf Club locations in Florida. This sporting streak began after he touched down in the Sunshine State on April 3, 2025, with the intention of spending four days.
His next voyage, on April 12, brought the President aboard Air Force One en route to Miami for the much-anticipated UFC 314 fight, hosted at the Kaseya Center. In a captivating show of camaraderie, the President strolled alongside his friend and UFC CEO, Dana White. Their appearance ignited a cascade of applause and cheering from the spectators present.
On numerous occasions, it was not just the President, but his entourage, inclusive of his family and closest aids accompanying him at these grand arenas. Let’s delve into a detailed account of the VIP members who joined him at these sport spectacles.
As for the UFC 314 fight in Miami, Donald Trump was not solo. In his company were his grandchildren, namely Kai Madison Trump, Donald Trump III, and Spencer Trump. However, worth noting is the absence of another group of Trump family members; Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Barron Trump were absent at the UFC 314 fight.
Echoing a similar narrative at the Kaseya Center, the President, accompanied by three of the younger generation Trumps, was seen entering the fight arena. They were escorted by Dana White, the UFC’s CEO. This marked another iconic moment where sports intertwined with presidential affairs.

These include Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana; the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, Florida; NCAA wrestling championship finals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the 2025 LIV Golf Tournament in Florida, and the UFC 314 fight in Miami, Florida.
When it came to identifying those individuals who were designated a seat beside the President at the VIP stands during UFC 314 in Miami, it was an interesting blend of personalities from across various sectors. Let’s have a look at who the President had for company at the UFC 314 match held at the Kaseya Center on April 12, 2025.
