The three fighters had a jolly conversation about various topics, from their past fights to future plans, and fans couldn’t help but join in on the fun. The entire interview showcased a different side of these fighters. However, there was one moment that became the highlight of the interview.

Jon Jones talked about his “pills” in the interview

One of the highlights of the conversation was when ‘Bones’ made a funny remark about “pills” alluding to his PED issues in the past. This mention left both Volkanovski and Whittaker in splits, and fans couldn’t help but laugh along with them. “Sorry about not talking about the pills,” said Jones.

‘The Reaper’, who is known for his humor, also jokingly asked for some nutritional advice from Jones. The former lightweight champ sarcastically replied, “It’s grapefruit, try a little grapefruit guys”.

Whittaker later posted this part of the interview on social media, and fans reacted positively to the lighthearted moment.

Here are some of the fan reactions –

One fan commented – “Rob, Volk, and Bones….. the trio I never knew I needed so bad all legends!”

Talking about the heavyweight first, Jon Jones is facing Ciryl Gane for the UFC heavyweight championship. Alexander Volkanovski is probably going to face Yair Rodríguez for the featherweight title unification match.
