-Jon Jones having an ownership stake in Dirty Boxing Championship

-the over saturation and monopsony in the MMA industry creating opportunities for promotions like DBX, BKFC, etc to possibly flourish

-previously fighting in Gamebred Bare Knuckle MMA, working for Jorge Masvidal while he was in the promoter role, and the rumblings of Masvidal potentially returning to the UFC this year

-wishing the Global Fight League hired him for consulting and his thoughts on the GFL cancelling their May cards as a fighter who was on the promotion's radar
