Jon 'Bones' Jones does the famous Donald Trump dance, handing the title belt to the president-elect after a TKO victory
Jon “Bones” Jones retained his undisputed UFC heavyweight title by defeating Stipe Miocic on Saturday and celebrated by honoring President-elect Trump, who was singing.
Jones broke into Trump's dance moves after landing a spinning back kick to Miocic's ribs to end the title fight with a knockout. As he danced in the ring, Trump's limited crowd cheered his approval.

As Jones danced and pointed at Trump, the incoming president smiled and gave a thumbs up.
In his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Jones once again called out Trump.
“I'm very grateful to President Donald Trump for being here tonight,” Jones said, sending the Madison Square Garden crowd into a frenzy.

Then, Jones used the energy of the crowd to start “USA! USA!” a song, in which they happily share.
“I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm proud to be a great American champion,” Jones added.
After the interview, Jones went to where Trump was sitting with Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, sons Don Jr. and Eric, Kid Rick, Vivek Ramaswamy, and gave him his UFC belt.

Trump invited Jones to the White House when he takes office next year as the 47th President of the United States.
While Jones said he may have more fights left, the 42-year-old Miocic told Rogan that he is done with his career, a Hall of Famer worthy of being one of the best heavyweight fighters to ever step into the octagon.
Jones is considered by many to be the greatest fighter of all time, as he now has a record of 28-1 without a single contest.
Trump made a triumphant return to MSG on Saturday night with a star-studded entourage, enjoying thunderous applause from fans just weeks after holding a historic rally inside the “World's Most Famous Stadium.”
Trump, making his first UFC appearance since winning the Nov. 5 election over Vice President Kamala Harris, drew thunderous applause as he entered with his entourage.
“If the people at home couldn't hear the noise in this room right now. Rogan said on pay-per-view radio when Trump entered the arena. “It's always loud when he enters but now he's won [the election]since he has become president again, oh my God!”

The announcer added that those who could stand inside the arena did so as the video board began playing a video montage of Trump's arrival. Chants of “USA! USA!” also filled the stadium.
