Trump invited Jones to the White House when he takes office as the 47th president of the United States next year.

While Jones said he might still have some fights left in him, the 42-year-old Miocic told Rogan he’s done with his career, worthy of the Hall of Fame as one of the best heavyweight fighters to ever step into an octagon .

Jones is considered by many to be the greatest fighter of all time, as he now owns a record of 28-1, including one no contest.

Trump made a triumphant return to MSG on Saturday night with a star-studded entourage, basking in the thunderous applause of the fans, just weeks after holding a historic rally at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

Trump, making his first UFC appearance since winning the Nov. 5 election against Vice President Kamala Harris, received thunderous applause as he entered with his entourage.

“If the people at home could hear the noise in this room right now. It’s so loud!” Rogan said during the pay-per-view broadcast as Trump entered the arena. “It’s always loud when he comes in, but now that he’s won the election, now that he’s president again, oh my God!”
