On Saturday evening (November 16), Jon Jones kept his undisputed UFC world heavyweight champion title by defeating Stipe Miocic. Jon Jones has been considered by many the greatest fighter of all-time, and now he proudly boasts a 28-1 record with one no-contest.
While celebrating his win, Jon Jones paid homage to President-elect Donald Trump, by performing his infamous dance shuffle and then by gifting him his UFC title belt. After landing a spinning back kick to Stipe Miocic’s ribs, ending the title fight with a technical knockout (TKO), Jon Jones broke into a dance, performing Trump’s signature moves.

As the UFC champ danced in the ring, the rest of the crowd, who appeared pro-Trump, clearly approved of the nod as they roared. Even Donald Trump, who Jon Jones pointed to as he danced, approved of his moves by smiling and offering a thumbs-up. During Jones’ post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Jones again gave a nod to Trump with a huge shoutout. He said, “A big, big thank you to President Donald Trump for being here tonight.”
The shotout led the crowd at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to go crazy in cheers again. Using that energy from the crowd, Jones then started a “USA! USA!” chant, which everyone proudly joined in for.

Kennedy, Jr., politician Vivek Ramaswamy, politician Tulsi Gabbard, singers Kid Rock and Jelly Roll, and more.
As UFC champ Jon Jones approached Donald Trump, he handed him his UFC title belt. During their conversation, Trump invited Jones to the White House once he takes office as the 47th President of the United States in January 2025. This UFC appearance was Trump’s first since winning the 2024 presidential election on November 6 over Vice President Kamala Harris.
His appearance drew wondrous applause as he entered Madison Square Garden with his large entourage. Joe Rogan told pay-per-view viewers that when he came in the crowd grew incredibly loud. He said, “If people at home could hear the sound in this room right now. It is so loud! 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!”
