UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has become a co-owner of Dirty Boxing.
He will join Malki and Abe Kawa, who co-founded it alongside Mike Perry in 2024. The promotion allows fighters to compete in five-ounce gloves, with elbows and limited ground-and-pound rules. The first event features ex-UFC fighter Yoel Romero against Ras Hylton in a heavyweight bout.
The co-main features former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski against Terrance Hodges. Bones is expected to attend the event, just as speculation increases that he will face UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall. Dana White has said a deal is close, as Jones is making moves inside and outside the Octagon.

“I was hooked from the first show. I believe this is going to be a powerhouse of combat sports. I’m proud to sign my name next to it,” Jones said
