Unhinged Ryan Garcia talks hypothetical cocaine battle versus Jon Jones days earlier than precise Devin Haney boxing match

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Ryan Garcia is preventing WBC Tremendous Light-weight Champion Devin Haney in a 12-round title bout this Sat. night time (April 20, 2024) at Barclays Middle in Brooklyn, New York. Somebody ought to in all probability inform “King Ryan” of his upcoming scrap, nevertheless, as a result of he’s appearing quite unhinged.

In addition to, Jones is presumably too busy coping with his personal newest authorized points after allegedly assaulting a UFC drug tester.

That’s the peak of the weirdness, however all of Garcia’s social media exercise right now was merely … off. Right here’s another bits and items for context:
