Trump support dominates weekend in sports as athletes perform president-elect's dance moves

‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ co-hosts react to President-elect Donald Trump’s appearance at the UFC fight at Madison Square Garden.

The NFL, UFC, boxing and college football had a stranglehold and there was one underlying theme across the sports landscape.

It wasn’t an individual fight or matchup on the gridiron. Instead, it was President-elect Donald Trump and the dance he’s done during his campaign rallies. Support for Trump may have trickled from the sports world in the days leading up to the election, but it really exploded over the weekend.

While there was no Trump dance at the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight, Paul and Tyson both expressed their support for him in the past. Paul went as far as to endorse him in the 2024 election and celebrate his victory in the aftermath.

Trump’s dance move was on full display at UFC 309.

With the president-elect sitting cage-side with nominees for his future Cabinet, Jon Jones defeated Stipe Miocic via knockout and did Trump's move in the immediate aftermath. He pointed to Trump right after and gave his UFC Heavyweight Championship to Trump to hold.

"… And tonight was incredibly special," Jones said, per MMA Fighting. "Finishing (Daniel Cormier) is up there, too. Stephan Bonnar was the first star that I fought as a young man. Everybody around me told me that I was no one and that I couldn’t do it, and I had to really work on meditation and bringing up my self-esteem for the first time to beat Stephan Bonnar. Mauricio ‘Shogun’ taught me that I could be great.
