Trump sits cageside at Miami UFC event in his latest appearance at a sports event

MIAMI (AP) — President Donald Trump said the standing ovation and cheers he drew when he took his seat at a UFC event in his home state of Florida were signs “we're doing a good job.”

Trump shook hands with some supporters as he walked to his cageside seat Saturday night at Miami’s Kaseya Center while others waved his trademark red campaign cap. The Republican president, who stayed for several hours before flying back to his home in Palm Beach, said it was a “great honor” to receive that recognition from the crowd.

“It says we’re doing a good job. If we weren’t doing a good job, we’d get the opposite," he told reporters accompanying him aboard Air Force One.

In the nearly three months since he has been back in office, Trump has launched a broad effort led by billionaire Elon Musk to shrink government by firing thousands of workers and cutting spending, tried unsuccessfully thus far to end Russia's war against Ukraine and impose tariffs against many countries, including close allies of the United States.

Democrats, and even some Trump supporters, have criticized his early actions.

But at UFC, it was a night focused on the fighters in the cage.

“Every one of them came up at the end, and they were great,” Trump said. “I mean, they’re all warriors, modern day warriors.”

At one point, fighter Dominick Reyes walked over to the side of the Octagon after winning his bout and acknowledged Trump. Reyes went to take a photo with the president after the post-fight interview.

Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, who attended UFC 314 with him, said it was “awesome.”

The president watched as Australian Alexander Volkanovski won his 10th championship fight in a row, defeating Diego Lopes of Brazil early Sunday morning by unanimous decision in the featherweight contest.

Trump is a longtime UFC fan and sports enthusiast who has frequently attended major fights and has had a longtime friendship with Dana White, the UFC president and CEO.

It was Trump’s first UFC visit since returning to the White House in January and came weeks after he attended the Saudi-sponsored LIV golf tournament at his golf club in Miami.

Trump attended the Super Bowl and Daytona 500, both in February. He was cageside at a UFC championship fight in New York in November, shortly after winning the election. Trump's close affiliation with UFC had helped boost his campaign among young male voters.

As Trump entered the Miami arena accompanied by White, the president shared an embrace with podcast host Joe Rogan. Musk and Rogan sat by Trump's side.

Also at the event were several members of his administration, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 16, 2025--

Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF), a global leader in augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) beauty and fashion tech, has teamed up with Spanish Techno-Beauty brand UNICSKIN to enhance the online skincare experience through advanced AI-powered skin assessments. The integration brings Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis technology to UNICSKIN’s e-commerce platform, offering shoppers personalized LED mask recommendations based on their real-time skin condition.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250416738551/en/

The technology analyzes four key skin metrics—wrinkles, firmness, acne, and dark spots—to determine the ideal LED light color for each user’s specific concerns. For example, red light is recommended for its anti-aging effects, which help reduce wrinkles and improve firmness, while blue light is suggested for acne-prone skin. The result is a hyper-personalized skincare journey that helps users choose the right treatment from UNICSKIN’s new LED mask collection with greater confidence and clarity.

From Skin Insights to Light Therapy: Scaling AI Across the Skincare Journey

Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis was first launched on UNICSKIN’s website through the “InstaSkin Pro” tool, which delivers product recommendations for serums, creams, and other skincare solutions. Building on the success of that feature, UNICSKIN has now added a dedicated AI-powered experience specifically tailored for its LED mask lineup: the InstaSkin Pro 5.0, further strengthening its commitment to precision skincare through technology.

Frictionless E-Commerce Shopping Experience, Powered by AI

The solution is enabled through Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis Widget Mode that allows for rapid deployment with minimal technical overhead. The AI Widget Mode’s Plug & Play access, available through Perfect Corp’s Console, delivers a ready-to-use UI and UX experience, along with simplified customization. This generates an instant skin assessment and a customized product routine that adapts to each user’s needs.

With this implementation, UNICSKIN empowers consumers to make more informed skincare decisions through real-time skin insights, while streamlining product discovery in a fast-growing segment of at-home beauty tech.

Turning Data Into Beauty Decisions for At-Home Skincare Innovation

“As skincare continues to evolve, consumers are embracing a wide range of solutions—from serums and creams to innovative beauty devices,” said Alice Chang, Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. “We’re proud to see our AI Skin Analysis technology supporting this shift by extending into new categories such as LED masks. It’s also a pleasure to continue growing our collaboration with UNICSKIN, following the success of our initial work together on InstaSkin Pro.”

Mónica Sada, CEO & Founder at UNICSKIN, added, “At UNICSKIN, we’re always looking for ways to combine science and innovation to elevate our customers’ skincare journey. By integrating Perfect Corp.’s AI skin analysis, we can now provide even more accurate LED mask guidance tailored to individual needs.”

On-Pack AI Activation: Driving Real-Time Engagement from Shelf to Screen

To celebrate the launch of its new LED mask collection, UNICSKIN hosted an exclusive event on April 9. As part of the experience, guests were able to access a personalized skin analysis via QR codes printed on the product packaging—offering an optional digital touchpoint that connects users to tailored LED mask recommendations.
