The MMA world’s been buzzing with new stories, especially now that Jon Jones is back in the mix. So, without wasting much time, we present yet another interesting edition of the daily roundup, highlighting the most noteworthy headlines in the last 24 hours, starting with UFC CEO Dana White, who seemed to have been impressed with Hollywood star Josh Brolin‘s new release.

Thereafter, we’ll take a look at what Jon Jones had to say regarding the UFC’s decision to revert to the old gloves ahead of his UFC 309 clash against Stipe Miocic. Finally, the last story revolves around Charles Oliveira and his recent statements ahead of the Michael Chandler rematch.

Dana White lauds Josh Brolin

Josh Brolin, widely known for his role as ‘Thanos’ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently dropped his new book, ‘From Under the Truck: A Memoir’. This memoir is his attempt to showcase to people the journey he has been from having a rather unconventional childhood to becoming one of Hollywood’s big success stories. He even outlines the characteristics of his fearless mother, Jane Agee Brolin.

Dana White caught hold of a copy of Josh Brolin’s memoir and was impressed with the actor’s new venture. To praise the ‘Goonies’ star, the UFC CEO wrote, “Congrats on the book my brother [Josh Brolin],” on his Instagram stories.

Moving over to our next big news involves Jon Jones. He recently laid bare his thoughts on the situation with the new gloves, claiming that he doesn’t feel comfortable in it.

Jon Jones prefers the old gloves

It seems like the UFC introduced the new gloves only to go back to using the old ones, despite NYSAC’s approval of the new gear. It appears that Jon Jones didn’t quite like the way the new ones were designed due to fitting issues. During the recent media day appearance, A “relieved” Jones stated, “I’m really excited about the old gloves [because] I got sent a pair of the new gloves several weeks ago. I tried them on, and they were tight. I used to fit in XL, and in the new gloves, I was a 3 XL. The shape, curving your hands like that – they were very uncomfortable.”

When Jon Jones first tried on the new gloves, he started growing concerned about fighting Stipe Miocic with these gloves. But, at the need, the UFC decided to help the veteran fighters by letting them use the old ones. “I was actually really stressed thinking about how am I going to go into fight week wearing these gloves that I don’t even want to train in.”

“When I got a phone call recently, Hunter [Campbell] said, ‘Everyone on this card are veterans… Let’s give you guys all what you’re used to,'” Jon Jones added. Do you think these gloves will make any difference? Before we get that answer, let’s move over to what Charles Oliveira had to say about the fight against Michael Chandler.

Charles Oliveira plans to finish Michael Chandler

Although Charles Oliveira came into his last fight against Arman Tsarukyan as the underdog, he put up a great fight but lost via decision. But ahead of his UFC 309 return, the Brazilian star believes that he was the right winner of the UFC 300 clash. However, he isn’t pondering about what could have been and instead, is looking to do what he does best to ensure a victory this weekend, and that’s being the finisher that he is since he holds the record for the most finishes in UFC history.

“I think I won the first and the third round but I think what needs to happen is I need to be myself. I need to be very aggressive, I always need to be looking for the finish [and] I can’t leave it to the hands of the judges,” Charles Oliveira told ‘TNT Sports’. ‘Do Bronxs’ plans to be on the offensive this time out, but can he beat the former Bellator champion to ensure another trip inside the Octagon against Islam Makhachev in the future?
