Jon Jones at a Diddy party—Is this the wildest UFC story you've heard this year?

The latest episode of UFC 307 Embedded is truly taking the internet by storm. Dana White, the head honcho of the UFC, recently shared the latest edition on his social media which shows UFC 307 headliner Khalil Rountree Jr. pulling off a hilarious bigfoot prank on his teammates. And while many expected the video to be the only source of laughter, things turned crazier when fans chimed in with jokes of their own including a few at the expense of Jon Jones.

It is a recurring theme by now to associate Jon Jones‘ name with everything that Dana White does. After all, the UFC CEO has time and again proved his love and loyalty towards his heavyweight champion. As a result, it seems like it was time for Jones again to catch the stray shot taken at Dana White in the comments.

In the video, Khalil Rountree Jr. decided to prank his friend Daryl, who is afraid of bigfoot. So, he asked another friend of his to dress up as the mythical creature while Daryl and the rest of Rountree’s team cross a wooded area at night during a late-night run (all part of their mischievous plan). The video takes a hilarious turn when the prank goes successful and ‘The War Horse’s entire team runs off after looking at Bigfoot running just a little distance away from them on an adjacent road.

This prank truly was a success, and fans loved every bit of it. Taking to the comments, they were quick to express that they found the video to be really hilarious and would love to see more clips like these. However, with these comments came the ones that truly stole the show. A majority of the fans decided to bring Jon Jones into the mix.

As soon as fans realized that it was Dana White who uploaded the clip, they were quick to make sure that Jon Jones was made a part of the fun. So some fans thought that it was the perfect time to emphasize Dana White’s sentiments toward Jones by calling him the MMA GOAT. Some comments read, “Bigfoot and Jon Jones are in the same room. Jon is walking out 69 out of 69 times.” “Is this why Jon Jones is the GOAT?” and “Only Jones could save the world now.”

What’s your perspective on:

Jon Jones at a Diddy party—Is this the wildest UFC story you've heard this year?

Have an interesting take?

This is no surprise considering how defensive White has been about Jones’ P4P status. For the CEO, the heavyweight is the greatest fighter alive and should be the undisputed P4P no.1, despite the rankings committee voting otherwise. He has also been cross with fans over the Stipe Miocic fight set for November at MSG in New York. While most fans and pundits want to see Jones fight Tom Aspinall, White wants the legacy fight against Miocic first.

One fan decided to add Diddy into the mix after the UFC heavyweight champion was recently asked a question about being a part of the American rapper’s party. “Embedded Episode 2 diddy oils Dana and Jones, stay tuned!” This is of course in reference to the controversy the rapper is embroiled in. Some of you might even remember the ‘oil up’ memes and comments that Dana White had to endure over the delayed announcement of the UFC 300 main event earlier this year.

Another fan simply decided to poke fun at White by not acknowledging ‘Bones’ as the GOAT. He wrote, “This is why Jon Jones is not the goat☠️”

But not everyone was fixated on the heavyweight champion. Some fans wanted a sequel to the prank. However, this time they had a different victim in mind. Who? Well, it’s none other than Rountree’s next opponent, Alex Pereira. Some fans wrote, “We want @alexpoatanpereira next 🔥🙌,” and “Do this with Pereira.” It would be interesting to see how the stoic reacts to seeing the mythical creature come to life. What do you think? What will be his reaction? Let us know in the comments.
