At UFC 309 held at Madison Square Garden, Jon Jones successfully defended his heavyweight championship title by defeating Stipe Miocic with a spinning back kick in the third round. After his victory, Jones thanked President-elect Donald Trump, who recently won the U.S. presidential election, for attending the event. He performed the Trump YMCA dance, mimicking Trump's signature moves, and initiated a 'USA' chant with the crowd. Jones declared, 'I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm proud to be a Christian American champion.' He then handed his UFC heavyweight championship belt to President Trump, giving him a thumbs up. The two shook hands ringside.
