Involved in another public fallout with UFC president, Dana White over the course of this week following UFC 260 on Saturday, Jones took exception to White’s tongue-in-cheek comment that if he were Jones sitting at home watching Ngannou dethrone Stipe Miocic, he would consider a move to the middleweight division. Jones questioned why White would decide to promote him in this manner, as well as flat out denying the suggestion that he was fearful of a matchup with the Cameroonian as White urged Jones to speak with promotional EVP and Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell if he was actually serious about a matchup against Ngannou.

The current BRAVE CF Middleweight World Champion Mohammad Fakhreddine has a dream of becoming the first-ever Middle Eastern two-division champion, and the first BRAVE CF double champion in the history of the promotion. The two BRAVE CF fighters went at it during their virtual face-offs ahead of their Light Heavyweight World Champions title fight at BRAVE CF 50 in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Plenty of fire erupted after Fakhreddine mocked Maalem’s wrestling skills, and underestimating his fighting skills claiming he has fought tougher, bigger, and more experienced fighters during his participation in the Open Weight Tournament, and bringing up Maalem’s fight with Todd Stout and questioning his conditioning. Maalem, who started off the conversation reserved, did not hold back after being hit with those assumptions and began taking shots at the current Middleweight World Champion dreams of being the first-ever Middle Eastern world champion saying that “Dreaming is free, and [Fakhreddine] can dream, but dreaming does not make your wishes into a reality.”
