Unique fight shorts are the new wave in the UFC, and heavyweight champ Jon Jones will rock his first custom Venum fight kit shorts at UFC 309 when he puts his title on the line against Stipe Miocic.
Jones has only competed once thus far in the Venum era. He wore black shorts when he made his heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Jones won the vacant UFC heavyweight title that night by submitting Gane in the first round.
Jones will wear his first custom Venum kit for his first title defense on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The black shorts feature two red roaring lion heads with gold lettering for Jones’s name, the UFC and Venum logos, and Philippians 4:13, the Bible verse the champ tattooed on his chest.

Jones joins the recent wave of custom Venum kits, which have caught the attention of fans as the designs allow some star fighters to differentiate themselves in the cage.
UFC light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira wore a vibrant tribal design at UFC 300, while former bantamweight champ Sean O’Malley debuted neon pink shorts at UFC 306 as recent examples of popular custom offerings.
Last week at UFC Fight Night 246 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, former UFC flyweight champ Brandon Moreno rocked custom Mexico-themed shorts that turned many heads as well.
