Wild night out! Jones parties in Vegas with Merab, Swedish House Mafia

Jon Jones was in Las Vegas on Saturday night to announce his highly anticipated UFC 309 fight against Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden. The fight was officially unveiled at the MSG-owned Sphere during UFC 306, and Jones looked fit and ready to fight as the cameras panned him to the front row.

UFC CEO Dana White was still a little nervous during the Noche UFC post-fight press conference when he was told by reporters that “Bones” had been spotted with notorious troublemaker Ryan Garcia, whose alcohol-fueled spiral has been the feel-bad boxing story of 2024. Jones’ problems with alcohol are well-known, and a previous visit to Vegas ahead of his 2021 Hall of Fame induction ended with an arrest and domestic violence charges.

But so far, we’ve had no reports of Jones completely freaking out or getting into serious trouble. The GOAT has been photographed with everyone from Chris Brown to Michael Chandler and secured 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 huge afterparty. “The Machine” was celebrating a decision victory over Sean O’Malley to earn the bantamweight belt, and Jones welcomed Merab to the championship club in a video posted to the Georgian’s social media.

“Let’s go Merab!” Jones chanted in the video, holding Dvalishvili’s belt in the air before slinging it over Merab’s shoulder and congratulating him. Jones also spent some time in the DJ booth with the Swedish House Mafia. So what other adventures did he get up to that night? Check out a collection of social media sightings below.
