Jon Jones’ “Pills” Remark Leaves Robert Whittaker, Alexander Volkanovski & UFC World in Splits

It’s not every day that MMA fans get to see fighters leave their serious persona behind and have some fun while the camera is on. Fans of the UFC love to hear their favorite fighters in a candid conversation. That’s precisely what they got in a recent interview with Robert Whittaker, Alexander Volkanovski, and Jon Jones.

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.

It is important to note that, as per new USADA guidelines, there is now some flexibility in the amount of PEDs found in a fighter’s blood.

What’s in store for the three fighters?

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.

Robert Whittaker does not have a clear fighter in his vision as of now. However, Khamzat Chimaev recently expressed his willingness to fight the Australian fighter.
