0:41Now PlayingPresident-elect Donald Trump has been known to cut a rug on the campaign trail — and now his signature moves are being borrowed as a celebratory dance by athletes on the football field, the soccer pitch and even in the mixed martial arts octagon.
Trump attended Saturday’s UFC 309 fight at Madison Square Garden, receiving a hero’s welcome as he entered the arena from backstage like a heavyweight fighter to thunderous applause, flanked by members of his entourage including UFC CEO Dana White, Elon Musk and RFK Jr.
