CJI Results: Craig Jones vs. Gabi Garcia

Dricus du Plessis has been flawless inside the Octagon thus far. Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Middleweight champion is set to make his first title defense against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia this weekend (Sat., Aug. 17, 2024). To reach his status as a titleholder, South Africa’s du Plessis won six straight (21-2 overall), which included a third round rear-naked choke of Darren Till in December 2022 (watch highlights).

The pre-fight face-off has long been used to build hype for fights. Over the years, unexpected events have made these face-offs more exciting for fans and intense for fighters. However, some face-offs are clearly staged for marketing purposes, going over the top to generate buzz. Fans think that’s what happened with the recent infamous kiss between Craig Jones and Gabi Garcia.

Merab Dvalishvili was ready to go less than a month away from the biggest fight of his career. Dvalishvili was in attendance for the Craig Jones Invitational on Friday night in Las Vegas. Videos began to surface on social media of Dvalishvili — who is set to challenge Sean O’Malley for the bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 306 on Sept. 14 — jumping out of the VIP section to confront a heckling fan in crowd. “The Machine” jumps the rail, thwarts — what appears to be — a security guard, walks up the stairs towards the fan, who is shown waving off the situation, before Dvalishvili looks to pull the man’s hat. A security guard eventually pulls Dvalishvili away.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
