Steele, who joined Trump on the campaign trail at a town hall gathering in Pennsylvania last month, was one of the many celebrities in attendance at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night for UFC 309.

“This year, I committed to saying ‘Yes’ to as much as humanly possible … focusing on EXPERIENCES with the people I love the most,” Steele wrote in part. “Just got back home from a wonderful weekend with my Dad, thanks to my amazing friend Dana White (whom I always refuse to bother for a picture but will next time!) and the awesome experience Dana provided for us at UFC 309!!”
Last week, Steele was reported to have thrown her hat in the ring as press secretary in the new Trump administration. But she quickly dismissed the rumors in a post on social media.

FORMER ESPN PERSONALITY SAGE STEELE DENIES TRUMP PRESS SECRETARY RUMORS
“Not sure how these rumors began about me ‘vying’ to be Press Secretary, but it’s definitely fake news! I haven’t had a single conversation with anyone about that job, and have no desire to do so!” Steele wrote in a post on X.
“Honestly, it was the honor of a lifetime to be a small part of @TeamTrump during the campaign – something I NEVER imagined – but I wholeheartedly believe in @realDonaldTrump @JDVance & am excited to find ways to continue to serve. It took me years to not be afraid to speak up. That fear is gone forever, and I hope others are beginning to feel the same. LFG!”

“If people at home could hear the sound in this room right now. It is so loud!” Joe Rogan said on the pay-per-view broadcast. “It’s always loud when he comes in, but now that he’s won [the election], now that he’s the president again, oh my God!”
