NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones celebrated his victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 by performing the iconic YMCA dance of Donald Trump on Saturday, November 16, reported the Mail Online.

The president-elect was present at the Madison Sqaure Garden arena to witness the event that evening, accompanied by his star supporters, including UFC CEO Dana White, Elon Musk, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Mike Johnson, Kid Rock, as well as his sons Don Jr and Eric Trump.



 

Trump was welcomed in the arena with thunderous applause and even broke into a dance himself as the YMCA blasted through the sound system prior to the main event.
