The newly crowned UFC heavyweight champion says he only just narrowly avoided disaster on Saturday.
Jon Jones ran into an issue with the tape on his foot and a brief squabble with NSAC nearly led to the cancelation of his Ciryl Gane fight at UFC 285 in Las Vegas.
Jon Jones’ first-ever Heavyweight title defense is already confirmed: UFC 290 against former division champion, Stipe Miocic, in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., July 8, 2023.
