UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones and Anthony Johnson are set to square off in the Octagon roughly three months from now. There’s already been a lot of hype and anticipation leading up to UFC 187, and UFC President Dana White clearly wanted things to go smoothly at Saturday’s “UFC: Welcome to the Show” press conference in Los Angeles.
Both Jones and Johnson knew White would be focused on keeping the peace during the press conference, and they teamed up to prank him in the best way possible.
Jones and Johnson went forehead to forehead, and a shoving match then ensued. White quickly jumped in front of the two fighters to break up the “fight,” and that’s when the two backed off and broke out into laughter.
It was at that moment that White knew he had been pranked.
White breathed a sigh of relief after he realized the two weren’t really actually going to maul one another.
