In a digital landscape where memes pop up faster than you can say “viral,” Jon Jones has taken the internet by storm with his unexpected take on Donald Trump’s YMCA dance after his recent win at UFC 309.
If you thought this dance was merely a quirky campaign gimmick, think again. It’s now evolved into a full-fledged meme trend, and we are here for it!
The Origin
Originally showcased during Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign rallies, the YMCA dance quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Imagine a former president fist-pumping and grooving to the Village People’s “YMCA,” looking like your dad trying to impress your friends at a family wedding.
Fast forward to 2024, and this iconic routine has made an unexpected comeback right in the octagon, thanks to Jon Jones.
After defeating Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, Jones decided to commemorate his victory with none other than the Trump dance. With President-elect Trump watching from the front row, Jones put on a performance that left everyone questioning whether they were at a fight or an outrageous dance-off.
As he pointed at Trump while busting out those moves, it was evident that this was more than just a celebration. It was a meme waiting to explode.
The internet wasted no time transforming Jones’ dance into a meme phenomenon. From awkwardly choreographed routines to hilarious remixes featuring everything from pets to kitchen gadgets, this trend is spreading like wildfire. Who knew that a few fist pumps and knee bends could unleash such creativity?
What really caught the audiences' attention after the fight was, that Trump too shook a leg with his YMCA dance moves after the fight. Here's the video:
While many athletes have celebrated touchdowns and knockouts with traditional moves, Jones’ embrace of the Trump dance elevates sports celebrations to new heights. NFL players have started mimicking Jones. The fusion of sports and meme culture is reaching unprecedented levels, and we’re all for it.

Looking ahead, one can only speculate what other athletes will do with this newfound trend. Will we see more UFC fighters channeling their inner Trump? Perhaps we’ll witness NBA players incorporating the dance into their post-game celebrations? The possibilities are endless!
Whether you love it or loathe it, one thing is certain: this dance is here to stay - at least until someone invents an even more ridiculous move! So brace yourself for more fist pumps and knee bends across your screens because if there’s one thing we know about memes, they never go out of fashion!
