The relationship between the English is close. In addition to being compatriots, Tom aspinall Muhammad was once Mokaev's Jiu Jitsu coach. It's only natural that Muhammad would root for his friend. Amidst all this, the undefeated fighter is flirting with a return to the UFC after leaving the organization to try his hand at other companies.
Jon Jones has been the heavyweight champion since March 2023, when he submitted Cyryl Gane No. UFC 285. Since then, the champion has defended the title on only one occasion, against Stipe Miocic, in November last year.
