UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones had a lot to say during his recent chat with The Schmo—but when the topic veered toward Mike Tyson’s unexpected broadcast moment during his fight against Jake Paul, Jones quickly shut it down.
The viral incident in question? Tyson’s backside was unintentionally shown during a live broadcast, leaving viewers stunned and social media buzzing. Naturally, The Schmo couldn’t resist asking Jones how would he rate Mike Tyson’s ass that show show prior to the Jake Paul fight.
Jones, however, wasn’t taking the bait. Laughing it off, the champ replied, “That was crazy. I’m not rating that at all. That was—well, Mike, come on, Mikr.”
While Jones refused to weigh in on Tyson’s mishap, the moment added another layer of entertainment to his interview, which also covered his plans for a UFC return in 2025. As Jones negotiates for what he calls “f*ck you money” and teases fights against Alex Pereira or Tom Aspinall, he’s clearly not letting anything—or anyone’s wardrobe malfunction—distract him.
With Tyson yet to comment on the incident and Jones staying tight-lipped, fans are left to wonder: will the iconic boxer address his viral moment, or let it live on as one of 2024’s most bizarre fight night highlights?
