Stipe Miocic is returning to the Octagon after virtually 4 years away for a battle in opposition to the legendary Jon Jones … in entrance of a packed crowd at Madison Sq. Backyard that might embody President-elect Donald Trump!

With the UFC’s heavyweight title on the road … we requested 42-year-old Miocic whether or not he’d be down for 45 (& soon-to-be 47) to play Dana White for an evening, and wrapping the belt round his waist if he defeat Bones.

“I am not in opposition to it,” Stipe responded, saying, “That’d be kinda cool to have a president do it. President-elect.”

Miocic then appeared to somebody within the room with him and requested, “[Trump’s] gonna be there, proper?” … which they confirmed.

It strains up with what Michael Chandler, who can be on the cardboard combating Charles Oliveira within the co-main occasion, instructed us on Thursday … saying DJT instructed him he’d be at UFC 309 if he gained the presidential election.

After all, President Trump gained by a landslide, taking not solely the Electoral School (which determines the winner), but in addition the favored vote.

FYI, Miocic is a blue-collar man from Ohio (a solidly crimson state) — however he is not overly political.

Stipe, nevertheless, has sometimes commented on Trump prior to now … together with when DJT was practically killed in an assassination try in Butler, PA, on July 13.

If Trump makes a cameo on the World’s Most Well-known Enviornment, it will not be the primary time he is proven up this yr to help his shut good friend Dana’s enterprise.
