0

UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones, who is widely considered to be one of the best mixed martial artists of all time, hit president-elect Trump’s signature “YMCA” dance before presenting him with his championship belt after defending his title at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

Jones faced off against fellow UFC legend Stipe Miocic in what was the first bout for either fighter in nearly two years. After largely dominating the fight on the feet and on the ground, Jones landed a spinning back-kick that landed flush on Miocic’s ribs, effectively ending the fight.

After the fight was officially called, Jones hit the president-elect’s signature “YMCA” dance before pointing in Trump’s direction, who was sitting Octagon-side alongside X owner Elon Musk.

In his post-fight interview, Jones thanked Trump for attending the fight. The president-elect played a key role in the UFC’s early success and has become a mainstay at UFC pay-per-views in recent years, a trend that has continued after Trump became the first sitting president to attend a UFC fight in 2019.

“Hey, what do you guys think about my version of the Donald Trump? Check it out,” the heavyweight champion continued before leading the crowd in a “USA” chant.

“I’m proud to be a great American champion. I’m proud to be a Christian American champion,” Jones added.

After his interview concluded, Jones again went over to chat with President-elect Trump. The two chatted for nearly a minute while Jones presented Trump with his championship belt.

Trump had previously told Joe Rogan that he planned on attending the UFC’s marquee Madison Square Garden card if he won re-election.

Keeping true to his promise, the president-elect arrived alongside a massive entourage of political allies and campaign heavyweights just before the main card began. Trump was joined by his children, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Dan Bongino, Vivek Ramaswamy and UFC President Dana White. He was also joined by X owner Elon Musk, who took a seat beside the president-elect.

The president-elect received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the crowd, with UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier noting that it was one of the loudest crowd reactions they had heard at a UFC event.
