UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones, fresh off his return to the octagon for UFC 309, was spotted partying in Las Vegas after UFC 306, raising eyebrows after being seen with controversial boxer Ryan Garcia.
Jones, known for his turbulent past, was photographed with Garcia, who has been involved in several scandals this year, including racist social media posts and an arrest for felony vandalism. This interaction sparked concern from UFC CEO Dana White, who admitted he was “slightly nervous” about the pairing.
“I hope that’s not true,” White said at the UFC 306 post-fight press conference. “Jon Jones is running loose and wild here tonight in Las Vegas. So let’s hope…Hunter [Campbell, UFC matchmaker], you babysitting him tonight?”
White added that Jones had “promised” to behave while in Las Vegas, although his statement was met with a nervous “knock on wood” gesture.
Jones is set to face Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in November at Madison Square Garden, and fans are hoping this recent incident won’t derail the highly anticipated fight.
