On Saturday night, Mike Perry put on a super cool private event in Miami, Florida, that felt like something from a Fight Club movie.
Just a day before the fight, Yoel Romero, also known as “The Soldier of God,” was announced as the main fighter. He went up against Duane Crespo, a Power Slap star, in a big heavyweight match.
Jon Jones, the UFC heavyweight champ, sat right by the ring to watch. He saw Romero take down Crespo with an awesome knockout in the very first round. It was such an exciting moment, and Jon looked amazed.
Jon Jones Left Speechless by Yoel Romero’s Incredible KO
Yoel Romero rushed forward like a lightning bolt and landed a huge left hand that ended the fight in an instant. It was powerful and quick, and everyone watching couldn’t believe their eyes.
After Crespo fell to the ground, Romero stood tall over him, just like the famous photo of Muhammad Ali after his knockout win. The referee stepped in to stop the fight, and Romero backed off. Crespo stayed down for a bit, so Romero knelt to pray and then checked to see if his opponent was okay.
In the crowd, Jon Jones looked completely shocked. His mouth was wide open, and his hands were on his head. He stood there frozen for a few seconds, trying to process what just happened. When he finally moved, he covered his face, still stunned. It was a jaw-dropping moment that everyone will be talking about.
What’s Jon Jones’ Next Move After UFC 309?
At 37, Jon knows his career is winding down, so he’s looking for big-money fights with opponents who are also in a similar spot in their careers.
Jon’s first choice is to fight Alex Pereira, the light heavyweight champ, but most fans, including Dana White want to see him face Tom Aspinall to unify the heavyweight division.
Although Jon isn’t thrilled about fighting Aspinall, Aspinall has confirmed that talks are happening, and things are looking good for a potential fight in 2025.
