The USA witnessed a significant moment today, with Donald Trump becoming the US president for a second time. However, even in this serious time of change, people do not forget to laugh and react to viral memes. Even when there is a historic victory speech video of Donald Trump doing the rounds of the internet, the UFC fans still made it an opportunity to recreate an iconic UFC meme.

For the unversed, Dana White and Trump have a long-standing friendship since Trump helped the UFC CEO back in 2001 with a venue for UFC 30. Since then, the POTUS and the boss only have good things to say about each other. Naturally, after Trump won the 2024 elections, White was seen during the victory speech and he even came up to the podium to say a few words.

However, UFC fans immediately seized the opportunity to remind the boss of a viral meme that was related to his obsession with heavyweight star Jon Jones. The video had White speaking praises for Trump but it was edited to make it look like the head honcho was screaming about Jones being the #1 pound-for-pound fighter.

UFC fans had a hilarious moment with the meme video and many fans commented on the Instagram upload as well. The edited version had White’s remark where he said, “As an educated adult who knows the fight business, you cannot deny that while Jon Jones, is active he is the greatest fighter in the world.”

Dana White obviously did not say these things during the victory speech after Trump’s win but just imagine if he had done so! The fans did use a free reign with their creativity though, and this new addition to the best P4P debate is making everyone double over with laughter.

In the MMA community, everybody and their plants know that the UFC CEO thinks Jon Jones is the greatest MMA star to ever step foot inside the Octagon and he will not listen to anything otherwise. Even though Dana White and Bones have not always seen eye to eye, White has a new respect for the heavyweight star as he reaches the twilight of his career. The founder of Power Slap is losing no opportunity to call Jones the GOAT so, the fans gave White another opportunity.

Fans have made a meme of White mentioning Jon Jones even during Trump’s victory speech. This made other comment hilarious remarks under the post. One follower mentioned the upcoming match between Jones and Stipe Miocic and said, “After 309 Dana won’t even bring Jones’s name ever, while another follower said, “All UFC fans voted for Trump lol.”

However, amid all the banter, one follower was serious about Dana White seizing the opportunity, and speaking about Jones on a global platform like Trump’s victory speech. They said, “Jokes aside I would totally not be surprised if he actually did something similar to this here. This is the biggest stage of them all even ppl who’ve never watched UFC would know Jones is P4P.”

Another follower chimed in about the funny meme edit and said, “That edit drop,” while one UFC buff said, “NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK OF JON JONES!!!” Dana White has made it a point to remind everyone that Jones is the best. He said it so many times at this point that there are mashup songs of him saying the same praise for Jones. It’s just the same phrase: “Jon Jones is the pound-for-pound and greatest MMA fighter of all time.” He has reiterated the same on many different platforms so much so that people joked if Jones had paid White to keep praising him. This remark by the boss has become so predictable that one fan wrote, “I was hoping he would say this, while another fan hilariously remarked, 100% real no joke.”

Even though many fans see this as a marketing ploy to hype the UFC 309 fight, White has made it clear that for him, Jones is the best ever to strap up the UFC gloves. Do you agree with Dana White about Jones being the MMA GOAT? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
