"Dana White will frame them after" - MMA X erupts over Jon Jones' custom shorts for UFC 309 fight against Stipe Miocic

When Jon Jones steps into the octagon against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, he will do so in style. Custom Venum shorts for the heavyweight champion have been unveiled and fans can't handle the excitement.

Jones' new drip has used a black, red, and gold color scheme to produce a truly spectacular piece of apparel fit for one of the greatest fighters of all time. As a nod to 'Bones' being the consensus MMA GOAT, the shorts feature goats on each leg of the clothing.

Suffice it to say the custom wear has garnered much fanfare, with fight fans readily delving into social media to note their thoughts and opinions.

Jones and Miocic's UFC 309 clash is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Madison Square Garden in New York. The reigning champion is currently a -625 favorite for the bout, with Miocic as a +455 underdog.

The betting odds are hardly surprising considering Miocic was last seen in his second-round KO loss to Francis Ngannou in 2021. Meanwhile 'Bones' stunned the fighting world last year as he made a triumphant return to the octagon with a first-round submission over Ciryl Gane in their UFC 285 heavyweight title clash.

Jon Jones unlikely to face Tom Aspinall

With Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic on the horizon, the question remains if the victor would unify the heavyweight title with interim champion Tom Aspinall or call it a career.

It looks like if Jones wins, Aspinall is unlikely to get to fight him next. Speaking to veteran journalist Kevin Iole, 'Bones' claimed he is not interested in facing the Englishman because he has done little of merit in the division. Jones said:

"[I will] more than likely not [face Aspinall]. I feel like Tom Aspinall is, I don't want to say nobody, but he just hasn't proven anything, he hasn't done anything... It's like I'm not here to gamble someone else making a name off of me. I'm here to compete against the guys when we look back 10 years from now, you know, it'll be like Jon Jones fought this guy and that guy, and this legend, and this champion."
