President-elect Donald Trump receives raucous ovation after arriving at UFC 309 in New York

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Security was understandably increased with Trump appearing at the event where he'll be seated next to White in the seats closest to the cage for the event.
58% : Many fighters competing at UFC 309 talked about the possibility that Trump would make an appearance at what has become an annual event for the promotion in New York.
53% : Trump often appears at UFC events to support longtime friend Dana White, who returned the favor when he became one of the new president's main allies as he looked to reclaim the Oval office after he was ousted from that position four years ago.
50% : Often times in the past, fighters would leap over the octagon to greet Trump and shake his hand but it remains to be seen if the Secret Service will still allow that to happen given the recent election results.
45% : A fixture at many fights in recent years, Trump didn't shy away from making an appearance at the latest UFC card at Madison Square Garden less than two weeks removed from his election victory over Kamala Harris.
