Jones: “I actually got an offer to fight at UFC 300”

UFC heavyweight champion John Jones said that the management of the promotion called him with an offer to perform at the UFC 300 tournament, although they understood that he would refuse.

“They actually called me and offered me to fight on this show. They said they just wanted to give me an opportunity. We all knew that I wouldn't be ready. My relationship with the UFC is better than it has ever been,” the American wrote in X.

Let us remember that on November 12 at the UFC 295 tournament, John was supposed to defend his belt against Stipe Miocic, but he dropped out due to a torn pectoral muscle. The meeting of distinguished American veterans is expected to take place in the second half of this year.
