UFC’s Julian Marquez asks Miley Cyrus out on Valentine's date, singer responds: Watch

UFC middleweight Julian Marquez made his return to the octagon at the main card of UFC 258 against Maki Pitolo.

Julian Marquez asks Miley Cyrus out on Valentine's date

While talking to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, Julian Marquez made a call-out, but it was not for his next opponent. Instead, he took Miley Cyrus’ name and asked her to be his Valentine. "I’ve been waiting 31 months to get on this damn mic, and to call these people out right now. This is my time to shine. So Miley Cyrus, will you be my Valentine?" he asked.

Miley Cyrus responds to Julian Marquez’s comments

A few hours later, the American singer took to Twitter and accepted to grant Marquez’s request, but only on certain conditions. She asked the UFC fighter to “shave an MC into your chest hair and I am YOURS”. While many expected Marquez to rush to the nearest bathroom and shave Miley’s initials into his chest hair, he instead responded with an additional request for the ‘Wrecking Ball’ singer.

Julian Marquez makes weird request

Daniel Cormier roasts Julian Marquez

Not just fans, but Daniel Cormier also thinks Marquez blew his chance with the pop star as he was in no position to make additional demands. While talking on the recent episode of DC & Helwani, the former two-division champion claimed that Marquez made those comments as he’s inexperienced and “never had a girlfriend”. He also believes that if the welterweight might have shaved his hair, he could have received a reply from Miley Cyrus.

“I crumbled for the poor guy. I literally died inside for the poor guy. Julian, you blew it. He’s a nice guy, but he blew it,” Cormier concluded.
