Bruce Buffer Livens Up Jon Jones’ Party
At UFC 285, Jon Jones returned to the Octagon with a vengeance. It took ‘Bones’ just over two minutes to walk Ciryl Gane down and secure a submission win with a guillotine choke. After three years of training, Jones’ impressive heavyweight debut has silenced any and all doubters in regards to how he’d handle the heaviest weight class.
After the fight, ‘Bones’ celebrated his victory in Las Vegas with an after-fight party. Considering his troublesome history in the city, it’s hardly surprising the likes of UFC President Dana White were slightly concerned by Jones celebrating in the area.
Fortunately, it appeared to be smooth sailing for all involved. During the celebrations, Bruce Buffer popped up to give the new UFC Heavyweight Champion a main-event calibre introduction announcement.

“They Don’t Like Each Other Now” – Dana White On Conor McGregor And Michael Chandler
Things are reportedly heating up on the set of The Ultimate Fighter 31.
During the post-fight press conference for UFC 285, White revealed that beef between ‘The Notorious’ and ‘Iron’ has kicked off. The pair are serving as coaches for the new season of TUF. The series is expected to culminate in a fight between McGregor and Chandler, the Irishman’s first clash since UFC 264 back in July 2021.
The UFC President explained that the duo actually got on well initially. However, tensions between them have continued to escalate as filming of the show has worn on. While White avoided revealing just how extreme the incidents between the pair have been, he confirmed that the situation was alarming.
“Chandler and Conor were very respectful to each other, and then some things started escalating that you’ll see on the show. They don’t like each other now,” White said of McGregor/Chandler. “A lot of shit went down on Friday…the stuff that just happened, shouldn’t have happened…not good.”
