Jon Jones is considering a return to fighting amid skepticism about his future matchups, while Reinier de Ridder knocked out Bo Nickal, Paddy Pimblett undergoes a significant weight cut, Dwayne Johnson stars in a Mark Kerr biopic, and Sean O’Malley spars with a poker player.
Jon Jones plans to fight again. Seriously, this time!
The light heavyweight legend and current UFC heavyweight champ released a statement, promising fans that “the story’s still being written.” Yet, since defeating Stipe Miocic last November at UFC 309, Jones hasn’t shown interest in fighting interim champ Tom Aspinall, who’s eagerly waiting for a 2025 bout.
If this sounds a bit sarcastic, it’s because many believe Jones’s next move might be underwhelming. While his past achievements are impressive, avoiding a major fight with Aspinall leaves fans feeling let down.
Don’t believe it? Just see how everyone’s reacting to Jones’ latest antics.
Reinier de Ridder crushed Bo Nickal with a body shot knockout at UFC Des Moines. Nickal, facing a former two-division ONE champ, was outclassed in grappling and striking.
When a hyped prospect like Nickal stumbles, people definitely have opinions.
Paddy Pimblett’s massive 40-pound weight cut for UFC 314 has fans buzzing. His weight swings are legendary, but how does he keep pulling it off?
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is diving into the role of UFC legend Mark Kerr in the film The Smashing Machine. Directed by Benny Safdie, this biopic could be a game-changer for Johnson’s acting career.
Sean O’Malley sparred with poker player Frankie C, and let’s be real: why do people keep signing up for this? Many of you are just as puzzled.
