On September 6, while popular streamer Adin Ross saw his bet go up in flames, Mason Jones emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners. ‘The Dragon’ picked up his second victory since rejoining the UFC earlier this year, showcasing a sharper, more calculated approach. Known for relying on grit and toughness in the past, Jones flipped the script this time, controlling the fight and proving his evolution inside the Octagon.

After surviving an early scare, the 30-year-old dominated on the ground and closed the show with a barrage of unanswered strikes. The win marked another high point in his comeback run, following his victory over Jeremy Stephens in May after nearly three years away. While Ross walked away with a heavy financial loss, Jones was rewarded with a Performance of the Night bonus, proof that hard work pays off. And now, with momentum on his side, Jones even has Ross apologizing for doubting him in the first place.

Adin Ross finally realizes Mason Jones is the real deal

Yesterday, Mason Jones jumped on Instagram to share a screenshot of a direct message he received from Adin Ross. The tattooed Mason Jones captioned it, “We’re all good @adinross. Thanks for the support mate, fighting is a crazy business. Just have to bet on me next time 😉.” In the DM, Ross responded with praise: “Mason it’s all love – I even said it on stream I’m a huge fan of you now. You can take some f—ing damage 🤣 my bet is with you next fight 💯. Great win.” So what exactly went down?

Reports suggest he had wagered $500,000 on Oki as part of a parlay. Though Ross never confirmed the exact amount, his visible frustration told the story. While he’s since softened his stance with an apology and some playful backtracking, when he bet against Jones that night, the situation got heated fast.

Adin Ross accuses Mason Jones of PED use

Ross reportedly put $500,000 on a parlay that included Bolaji Oki to beat Mason Jones at UFC Paris. At first, he was ecstatic watching Oki unload heavy ground-and-pound on Jones. But his mood quickly shifted when Jones flipped the script, storming back in the second round to score a TKO and cash in big for himself, while leaving Ross’ bet in shambles.

Frustrated, Ross unleashed a rant during his livestream, accusing Jones of using PEDs. “Look at you, bro, you’re on PEDs,” Ross fumed. “You need to get your a– checked, your a– glands… you might be popping pills in your b-tt. I don’t f—ing know, bro. But that was some bulls–t.” His meltdown instantly caught fire online, sparking debates about his comments and credibility.

This time, Ross won’t be bailed out by UFC CEO Dana White, who once helped him recoup a $600,000 casino loss after spotting him $30,000. Despite the setback, the Kick star won’t be hurting financially, with Celebrity Net Worth putting his net worth at $40 million. That said, what are your thoughts on the situation?
