Tom Brady Sends Message to Jon Jones Ahead of UFC 285 Title Fight

Jon Jones is making his coveted return to the octagon on Saturday night, slated for the headlining heavyweight bout against Cyril Gane on the main card at UFC 285. Ahead of the showdown, Jones received some words of encouragement from Tom Brady. 

The recently retired NFL quarterback congratulated “Bones” on his return to action ahead of his fight against Gane. 

“Hey Jon, I wanted to say welcome back to the main stage. It’s great to see the GOAT doing what he does best and doing what he’s meant to do. I thought seven titles was a lot, you doubled it man,” Brady said in the video message to Jones.
