The more custom shorts, the better.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight champion Jon Jones makes his long-awaited return to active competition at UFC 309 next weekend (Sat., Nov. 16, 2024) against Stipe Miocic from inside the most iconic arena in the world, Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Ahead of his big showdown with the former UFC Heavyweight kingpin, Venom—the exclusive UFC Fight Kit brand—released pictures of Jones’ new customer shorts, and they’re pretty awesome.
The shorts are red and black, a low-key throwback to Jones’ previous shorts. The shorts also feature two roaring tigers in the middle, a cross, and Philippians 4:13, the Bible verse tattooed on his chest.

One fan couldn’t decipher the two tigers and thought it was a goat … get it?
Anyway, Jones is the latest fighter to get custom fight shorts. Others include Ilia Topuria, Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, Bryce Mitchell, Alex Pereira, Paddy Pimblett, and a few others.
