Sorry!!!
Final Combating Championship (UFC) Heavyweight champion Jon Jones makes his extremely anticipated return at UFC 309 this weekend (Sat., Nov. 16, 2024) in opposition to former champion Stipe Miocic from inside Madison Sq. Backyard in New York Metropolis.
The build-up between the 2 headliners for this Heavyweight championship struggle has been fairly quiet till this previous weekend. Jones caught wind of Miocic calling him a b—tch on the UFC 309 countdown (watch it right here) and randomly flipped out on social media on Sunday.
“Hiring black fighters to imitate me won’t aid you, Stipe. And also you shouldn’t have referred to as me a b—ch, the disrespect wasn’t needed. Let’s play,” Jones wrote.

At this time (Monday, Nov. 11, 2024), throughout an interview with Ariel Helwani, Miocic walked again from calling Jones a feminine canine and apologized.
“He was speaking to me; I used to be speaking to him. Deliver it on. Sorry if I damage his emotions,” Miocic stated. “I’m sorry; I wasn’t making an attempt to disrespect him. It was simply the warmth of the second.”
Jones has not responded to Miocic’s apology as of this writing. Nonetheless, the week has simply began, and there might be a number of alternatives, whether or not at media day or the pre-fight press convention.
If the principle occasion of UFC 309 wanted any enhance, perhaps this random unhealthy blood was what it wanted.
