As Wild Bear Invades Jon Jones’ Privacy, Action Demanded By Buffalo Bills Star Gable Stevenson – ‘I Should Have Goed In And Smothered Them’

Jon Jones has been out of service since last year. After moving up to heavyweight and winning the heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane in March last year, the champion was scheduled to face Stipe Miocic, considered the GOAT heavyweight in a potentially career-defining fight at UFC 295 in November of last year. Despite his absence from the sport, there is never a dull moment with the heavyweight champion, as he has been active on social media, even getting into fights with fans online. And the 36-year-old shared another interesting post on his Instagram, which sparked discussions with an NFL player.

Jon Jones lives in New Mexico, one of the mountainous states, famous for its stunning landscapes and diversity of forests and woodlands. Additionally, the GOAT contestant lives in the picturesque town of Albuquerque, known for its sunny days and blue skies, located next to the beautiful Sandia Mountains and woods.

That’s why it was no surprise to see a bear casually walk into the UFC heavyweight champion’s driveway at 4 a.m. The least surprised was “Bones” himself, who shared the video and attributed it to a part of his life in New Mexico. “OK, tell me you live in New Mexico, without telling me you live in New Mexico. Here’s a black bear in my driveway this morning at 4am. 👀, » he captioned the clip.

The post caught the attention of the Buffalo Bills’ new defensive end, Gable Stevesonwho joked that the heavyweight champion should have put his world-class wrestling skills to good use and choked the bear. “I should have gone out and choked them lol,” the NFL star commented on Jones’ post.

Jones was amused and responded to Steveson’s comment, observing that the football player would have more success than him in trying to smother the bear, no doubt indirectly referring to the impressive 6’1″, 260+ frame defensive end books. “@gablesteveson you would have a much better chance against this guy than me. Let’s be realistic, ” Jones replied.

While Jones may not have wrestled the bear, he almost wrestled the next best thing: Francis Ngannou Last year. Even if they didn’t get to fight, UFC CEO Dana White is confident he knows what the outcome would have been.

Dana White thinks Jon Jones would have easily defeated Ngannou

Amid calls for Jones to fight interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, ‘Bones’ insisted he would fight Stipe Miocic as originally planned. While Jones-Aspinall may be the most anticipated matchup in the UFC right now, there was one other fighter fans wanted to see Jones fight before Aspinall: Francis Ngannou.

Ngannou, of course, was the heavyweight champion when Jones was ascending to the UFC’s heaviest division. With Ngannou’s punching power and punch countering Jones’ trickery and dangerous ground game, this was a tantalizing match for fans. However, with Ngannou’s acrimonious exit from the promotion last year and Jones signing a long-term contract with the UFC, Jones-Ngannou’s chances are non-existent.
