UFC champion Jon Jones does the ‘Donald Trump dance’

Jon Jones’ electrifying TKO victory over Stipe Miocic on November 16 left his claim as the best fighter in UFC history virtually undisputed as he defended his heavyweight title, defeating the 42-year-old Miocic with a devastating spinning kick to the midsection that stopped him.

According to Jones interrupted his victory at Madison Square Garden, imitating Donald Trump’s dance, later presenting him with the title and celebrating with the president-elect.

Jones’ post-fight speech mainly focused on his desire to proceed fighting in the UFC, even at the age of 37.

“I’ve decided that perhaps I won’t retire and that I would like to have some conversations with (UFC President) Dana (White) and (UFC Chief Business Officer) Hunter (Campbell) and we’d like to do some negotiations and if all goes well, possibly we’ll provide you with the whole lot you wish to see,” Jones told UFC’s Joe Rogan.

Jones also praised his opponent, who was unable to inform whether Jones’ offense had an effect on him or not until he received a devastating kick to the stomach.

“It’s like fighting the Terminator,” Jones explained to Rogan. “It’s very, very discouraging to hit someone who doesn’t reply to it. But that body shot, regardless of how strong you might be, liver is liver.

Jones expressed his appreciation for Trump, who was at ringside alongside White and Elon Musk. Trump was also joined by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kid Rock.

“I want to thank President Donald Trump very, very much for being here tonight,” Jones said, prompting a loud ovation that was a “USA! USA!” chant.

Dana White is a longtime friend and supporter of Trump. he spoke at the 2016 and 2024 Republican National Conventions, each times at Trump’s request.

According to the Associated Press, Jones praised White’s connections to Trump on the eve of the event at MSG, telling reporters: “Seeing Dana on stage during the election, I feel like that moment just lifted the entire sport. Americans and people from all over the world were asking: who is this bald guy? It represents all of us.”

Rogan also hosted Trump on his podcast during a three-hour interview and encouraged Trump to make false claims about voting, voter fraud and Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election.

Rogan also endorsed Trump in the presidential election, and his appearance on Rogan’s show was a part of Trump’s strategy to have interaction young male voters through recent media during his campaign.
