Julian Marquez's valentine saga with Miley Cyrus
After Julian Marquez edged past Maki Pitolo in his last fight, 'The Cuban Missile Crisis' requested Miley Cyrus to be his Valentine's during the post-fight interview. Marquez said:
"I have been waiting 31 months to get on this damn mic and to call these people out. Right now, it's my time to shine... So, Miley Cyrus, will you be my Valentine's?" said Marquez.
Surprisingly, the 'Wrecking Ball' singer responded to the callout and said Marquez will have his wish granted if he shaves an 'MC' into his chest hair, to which the UFC middleweight replied:
"If you get a henna tattoo that says Cuban Missle Crisis above your belly button like 2pac I’m in," tweeted Marquez.
The hilarious back-and-forth between Cyrus and Marquez brought good laughter among MMA fans. Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier said that he couldn't believe Marquez's response to the popular singer.
"You know... anything is possible. Let's see what we've got going on right now. Let's hope that date happens... we'll probably get an ice cream and go to a picnic, walk around the park or walk around on an ocean. Just because she's Miley Cyrus," said Marquez.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Julian Marquez stated that he hasn't given up on the possibility of taking Cyrus on a date.
