Jon Jones weighs in on UFC 329, backs Gable Steveson and predicts McGregor‑Holloway rematch

Jon Jones was in Las Vegas for UFC 329, sitting ringside to support his protégé Olympic wrestling champion Gable Steveson, who made his UFC debut on the prelims against Elisha Ellison. Steveson entered the fight with a 3‑0 professional record, stopping each opponent in the first round.

During his appearance on the UFC Embedded series, Jones said, "It feels so good to be back here. It makes me miss the game tremendously," while reiterating his uncertainty about a personal comeback, noting he had turned down a reported $15 million offer for a future return.

In a separate interview, Jones offered his prediction for the UFC 329 main event, a Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway rematch, favoring Holloway because of his greater recent activity, though he acknowledged McGregor’s knockout power could still change the outcome.
