Jon Jones fights Anthony Smith at UFC 235 this Saturday and as usual he is all over the news because the cameras love Jon and he loves them. It’s definitely a love-love relationship. He spoke with TMZ about his ultimate goal and it’s a doozy. He wants to retire at 50-0 like Floyd Mayweather Jr. That would be an incredible achievement.
Check out everything he said in the video below…
When it was announced that Greg Hardy and Rachel Ostovich were both fighting, not each other, on Saturday’s ESPN+ debut card in Brooklyn the backlash got real.

Oh, TMZ. You create some of the best unscripted comedy moments. They caught up with former pro wrestling star and governor Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura. In this video he claims he may actually run for president in 2020 for the green party and said, “Trump knows wrestling, he participated in two WrestleMania’s.

UFC head Dana White is pretty tired of hearing Floyd Mayweather Jr trying to remain relevant by calling his fighters out for a boxing match. No one in their right mind believes Mayweather would ever agree to step in to a cage and face even the most average of fighters.

White is done with it and he told TMZ Sports that Floyd should sign with the UFC or go away. Check it out.
Nick Diaz essentially just called out Canelo Alvarez and it’s pretty raw. Canelo’s name has been in the news lately because he signed an exclusive six figure contract with DAZN meaning he’s being targeted by alot of potential opponents looking to make some big money, too. Enter Nick Diaz and this amazing quote from a video street interview (below) with TMZ:
I’ve never even thought about that, but the guy is moving up to 168 and fighting some no names. Let’s be real Canelo moving up to my weight, he ain’t gonna win that fight. No way, come on man.
