Jon Jones did not hold back his playful antics during the DBX 4 weigh-ins, arriving in style on a horse outfitted with an eye patch. The stunt comes shortly after UFC 321, where heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall’s fight against Ciryl Gane ended in a no contest due to a severe eye poke.
The display was widely seen as a continuation of Jones’ ongoing mind games with Aspinall. Fans had already noticed Jones’ social media jab immediately after the fight when he changed his profile picture to a duck wearing an eye patch—a direct reference to the incident.
A Mocking Entrance
During the weigh-ins for DBX 4, Jones took the theatrics further. Riding a horse with an eye patch, he drew attention and laughter from the audience while indirectly referencing the ongoing UFC drama. The stunt underscored Jones’ flair for showmanship and his tendency to get under opponents’ skin without stepping into the octagon.
“Obviously, this is Jon being Jon,” noted fans online. “He doesn’t miss a chance to poke fun.”

The incident comes amid speculation about Aspinall’s future fights, as the champion is still recovering from the eye injury sustained at UFC 321. The no contest result disrupted plans for the heavyweight division, while Jones appears to be keeping the spotlight on himself ahead of potential matchups on the upcoming UFC White House card.
Despite the theatrics, Jones has a history of eye pokes himself and has previously avoided serious confrontation with Aspinall, highlighting the irony of the stunt. Nevertheless, the stunt achieves its goal: drawing attention and sparking conversation among fans and fighters alike.
As Aspinall works toward recovery, Jones’ focus may shift to other high-profile fights. UFC CEO Dana White had previously commented on the slim odds of Jones appearing on the White House card, but the former two-division champion continues to maintain public visibility through antics like the DBX 4 weigh-in entrance.
Fans now wait to see if the planned rematch between Aspinall and Gane occurs and how Jones’ playful provocations will continue to influence the heavyweight narrative.
