What did Jon Jones get up to in Las Vegas while he was in town for his UFC 309 fight announcement? We’ve got all the social media sightings following Noche UFC.
Jon Jones was in Las Vegas on Saturday night for the announcement of his long-awaited UFC 309 fight against Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden. The bout was officially revealed in the MSG-owned Sphere during UFC 306, and Jones was looking fit and fight-ready when the cameras panned to him in the front row.
UFC CEO Dana White was still a bit nervous at the Noche UFC post-fight press conference when reporters told him “Bones” was sighted with notorious troublemaker Ryan Garcia, whose alcohol-fueled spiral has been the feel-bad boxing story of 2024. Jones’ issues with alcohol are well known, and a previous Vegas visit for his Hall of Fame induction in 2021 ended with an arrest and domestic violence charges.

But thus far we have no reports of Jones going off the deep end or getting into any serious trouble. The GOAT was photographed with everyone from Chris Brown to Michael Chandler, and set up some training time with Alex Pereira in late October.
Following UFC 306, the heavyweight champion took his cowboy hat to XS Nightclub at the Wynn Las Vegas resort and casino for Merab Dvalishvili’s big afterparty. “The Machine” was celebrating a decision win over Sean O’Malley that earned him the bantamweight title, and Jones welcomed Merab to the champion’s club in a video posted to the Georgian’s social media.
“Let’s go Merab!” Jones chanted in the video, hoisting Dvalishvili’s belt in the air before hanging it on Merab’s shoulder and congratulating him. Jones also spent some time in the DJ booth with the Swedish House Mafia. As for what other adventures he got up to that evening? Take a look at some of the assembled social media sightings below.
