Makhachev used his superior grappling across five rounds to end JDM’s reign as 170lbs king and become a two-division champion.

Attention immediately turned to when and who the former pound-for-pound king will fight in his next outing.

And he made his desire crystal clear in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.

He roared: “Donald Trump, open the White House. I’m coming!”

The UFC are set to host a special event at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on June 14, which is President Trump’s birthday.

And UFC supremo Dana White is seemingly open to having Makhachev top the bill of the historic card.

He said: “It’s not America vs. the world. It’s, ‘What’s the best card we can build?’”

Victory over JDM saw Makhachev surpass the achievements of his long-time friend, mentor and coach Khabib Nurmagomedov.

And he was overcome with emotion after having the belts draped on him, saying: “This is a dream.

“All of my work for these two belts. I am really happy. The belt is so heavy and I like it.

“I worked hard for this moment. My life has changed.

“No cut weight, five rounds non-stop, I can wrestle, I can do whatever I want.

“This is my plan. It’s not a secret. My opponents all know this and nobody can stop it.”
