Jon Jones sends Stipe Miocic into retirement with decisive UFC heavyweight win in front of Trump
Jon Jones had just knocked the breath out of the heavyweight challenger he pummeled into retirement when UFC's greatest fighter broke out a herky-jerky dance inside the cage and dedicated the groove to President-elect Donald Trump. As a defeated Stipe Miocic gamely tried to recover on all fours, Jones posed and played to the packed crowd on top of the cage, and even had a gift for his favorite fan in the front row — Trump for a few moments clutched the UFC heavyweight title. Jones and Trump shook hands and capped a fight night charged with politics as much as punches inside a raucous Madison Square Garden where “USA!” chants echoed through the arena.
