Jon Jones sends Stipe Miocic into retirement with decisive UFC heavyweight win in front of Trump

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — 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. Jones finished Miocic in the fight — and for good — with a stunning spinning back kick to the ribs and used a series of blows to the head in the third round to get the TKO win and retain the UFC heavyweight championship in front of Trump and a slew of potential administration members that helped fill the Garden.
