The only two coaches I would be less interested in hearing speak would be both Diaz brothers. They're incoherent and Jones is insufferable.

dana supposed to "break some news" today, maybe something is going on with HW. apparently there isn't a single HW fight for another month.

am not sure if he had new screws added or if they were from the 1st surgery. it says added screws here, but other place says it wasn't healing right, so they removed some tissue.

Nate Diaz and Jake Shields get jumped as Russian reality fight show descends into chaos
Chaos ensued on the set of Russian MMA show, ALF Reality in Thailand, as Nate Diaz and Jake Shields got involved in a brawl with numerous individuals on the show.
www.sportskeeda.com
"I went to mount him. I was pissed off at that point. I was trying to make an example with this guy so fighters would stop testing us. And right when I started to go off on him, I got just blitzed from the side..So a couple of guys started blitzing me, which to me seemed like they were a crew working there not the fighters."
"We're like, 'We're not doing the show', you know. They were trying to renegotiate something but it's like, 'Why are we going to go back and film a show when they're constantly being... You know, it's one thing fighting the fighters, which is why I went out there with Nate. I thought it was a possibility [that] some of these fighters would try to test him but when you have potentially the crew, you know, hitting you too, it's like, 'No f*ck that." (19:46 onwards in the aforementioned video)

jones said the other day he was done, and told ufc his plans awhile ago.
ariel pointed out, the reason ufc doesn't care, they don't need a hw title fight anytime soon to fill a ppv slot.
anyway, i asked grok
Jon Jones has been the UFC Heavyweight Champion for 808 days as of May 21, 2025.
784 days (first reign) + 588 days (second reign) = 1,382 days. Thus, Stipe Miocic held the UFC Heavyweight Championship for 1,382 days.
The longest-reigning UFC interim champion in any weight class is Tom Aspinall, who has held the UFC Interim Heavyweight Championship for 552 days as of May 16, 2025, surpassing Renan Barão’s previous record of 534 days as the interim bantamweight champion.

Guess they stuck him on the 6 month prep for 30m. I knew it was going to be one or the other-- either take the 30m and book the fight for a date UFC tells him, or it's off.
Jones did tell the media several months ago that even money is not interesting to him vs Aspinall. It's possible the UFC said we got the 30 for any condition you want and he still said no.
I expect him to try to get released and do the Ngannou fight for 30m overseas in the UAE.
