Welcome to MMA News Today, a daily feature running down the most interesting stories in the world of mixed martial arts. For July 4, 2024, we’re taking a look at:
In a post on social media, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones teased a potential date and location for the first defense of his title.
“Bones” was set to face off with former champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 in November of last year until an injury forced him to withdraw and postpone the fight.
Jones appears to now be targeting the rescheduled fight for the same month in the originally planned venue, Madison Square Garden in New York.
He replied to a comment on Instagram where he named November 9 at the iconic venue as the target that he is working towards right now.

After he stepped up on the day of the fight to save the co-main event of UFC 303, Dana White said that he will try to make it up to Dan Ige.
Ige didn’t get his hand raised against Diego Lopes this past weekend but his efforts to be a company man didn’t go unnoticed or without reward.
The featherweight contender posted on social media where he made his request for his next outing with a very bold idea.
Ige posted that he wants to face the controversial boxing star Ryan Garcia at UFC 306 inside the Sphere with a few extra rules being put in place.
Garcia responded on social media, so clearly the call out at least caught his attention, that he’s down to compete.
Jean Silva delivered one of the stand-out performances at UFC 303 as he stopped Charles Jourdain in the second round.
Despite missing weight for the fight, the Brazilian is now set to make a remarkable two-week turn-around in order to take on Drew Dober up at lightweight.
Dober was originally set to face Mike Davis in a significant bout for the 155-pound fan favorite due to him training out of Denver, Colorado where the card will be hosted.
Brazilian outlet Ag. Fight reported the news that Silva will be looking to pick up his third consecutive win in the UFC after debuting on the first card of 2024.

In the night’s headliner, defending welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman defeated two-time opponent, Colby Covington in a unanimous decision effort to round out a 14 fight card.
As per an initial report from Combate reporter, Raphael Marinho, the UFC is set to land their UFC 281 card on November 12. – with Madison Square Garden in New York City slated to host the pay-per-view showcase.

Conor McGregor has not stepped in the Octagon since UFC 229 last October. Yet, that almost changed this July at UFC 240.
The Irishman revealed he was going to take on Justin Gaethje in Madison Square Garden but a hand injury derailed that.
“I believe it was leaning towards Justin Gaethje at that time. But look, the game changes so quick. Everyone comes and goes. It’s a forgetful business,” Conor McGregor said to ESPN. “It’s a cruel, cruel business. Only for the amount of history, for the amount of iconic moments that’s happened in my career – they would’ve loved to throw me away, discard me. Think of other people who haven’t had what I’ve had, who’ve gone through the trauma and the battles. For the fans. That’s who we do it for. We do it for the fans, our family, for the people. And when it’s all said and done they just discard you and it’s a cruel business.
“That’s why I was happy to see Nate bounce back. And I was happy to see, not just him bounce back, but bounce back with some business on his mind,” he continued. “I know he doesn’t want to delve into that. I was listening to him talking about his CBD. And was like ‘I don’t really want to get into that.’ You need to get a hold of that also and start learning that aspect of the game, because the fight game is short, and the game is very forgetful.”
Due to the hand injury, the event was moved to Edmonton, Alberta and when he will fight again is to be seen. He mentions in the interview he wants to return soon and is eyeing a bevy of opponents, but does want to get redemption against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
