When Julian Marquez called out Miley Cyrus after UFC 258 win

Julian Marquez had just beaten Maki Pitolo at UFC 258 when he hopped on to the mic to speak with Joe Rogan. 'The Cuban Missile Crisis', who seemed like he was ready to call out his next opponent, instead called out Miley Cyrus:

"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?"

Watch Marquez's UFC 258 post-fight interview below:

Marquez later made it clear that the call out was meant as a joke. However, the interview went viral and even got a response from the singer on Twitter.

As far as anybody knows, the date never happened. However, it was a very smart marketing move from Marquez and instantly made fans pay attention to him.

Miley Cyrus' reply currently has over 18,000 'likes' on Twitter and has been retweeted nearly 2,000 times. This is great exposure for a fighter who isn't necessarily a household name.
