At the risk of sounding delusional, a fight between Ryan Garcia and Jon Jones isn’t impossible, especially with all the cross-over fights. Regardless, the Victorville native seems to be on the lookout for the public’s opinion on it. Continuing his rampage on X, which people seem to have accepted as the new normal, the 25-year-old boxer probed his fans.
It might not seem like it from his tweets lately, but Garcia is just days away from facing career rival Devin Haney at Barclays Stadium in Brooklyn, New York! The duo is slated to go toe-to-toe for Haney’s WBC super lightweight title. However, Garcia seems to be more focused on hypothetical scenarios, which quickly drew wild responses from the fans.

In the lead-up to the fight between Garcia and Haney, the Victorville native has come under fire for his bizarre behavior, leading some to believe he is on drugs. However, VADA has recently cleared the 25-year-old from using any such substances. So, Garcia has been trolling the people who called him an addict through such posts.
Turning to X today, Garcia wrote, “Ok hypothetically, hear me out, Jon Jones vs. Ryan Garcia. We are both c*ked out. WHO WINS????” However, troll or not, Garcia’s jab at his critics seems to have produced genuine opinions from the masses. Spoiler alert: Garcia wouldn’t like who people think would win the hypothetical fight!
Fan predicts Garcia’s transition into a toothpick
Jon Jones is a heavyweight mixed martial artist with a history of alleged drug use and behavior outside the ring that is unbecoming of an athlete. Despite that, he has remained undefeated throughout his dominant career in the UFC, so predicting who would win was easy for the fans. One user didn’t hesitate a bit while hailing Jones as the winner, suggesting that if they fought, the clash wouldn’t even be close.
Jon Jones, wouldnt even be close

Another user tried their best to remain respectful towards Garcia, as the user thought Jones could use Garcia as a toothpick. Given the size difference between the two fighters, the user might not be wrong.
He uses you as a toothpick respectfully

Someone else pointed out Jon Jones isn’t a boxer but asserted Jones’ superiority if they fought in an MMA setting. Ryan Garcia has been wanting to fight in MMA, but a debut against Jones can derail his plans.
jones is not a boxer
we know who wins on mma lmao

The next user hilariously injected a different angle! While Garcia was obviously talking about a fight between them, this user thought Garcia could be talking about partying. Both Jones and Garcia are big partygoers, something Jones has publicly spoken about.
Hahahaha! At what partying or boxing?
