It seems like the current situation involving Joy Taylor has been a bit confusing for a former UFC champ. Per Front Office Sports, who first reported the news, Noushin Faraji first filed this suit about experiences she had during her tenure at Fox Sports from 2012 until last August.

The suit alleges that Faraji relayed to Taylor that she had her buttocks grabbed at a West Hollywood birthday party by the head of content for FS1 where Taylor allegedly told her to get over it.

Skip Bayless was also implicated in these allegations, with Faraji claiming that the Undisputed co-host gave her lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek. She further alleged that Bayless offered her $1.5 million in exchange for sexual favors. As per her, attempts to report the behavior were ignored, fostering a bad working environment for this behavior to continue.

Also within the 40-plus page suit document, there were further allegations related to Taylor, with Faraji alleging that Taylor engaged in sexual relationships with former NFL linebacker turned analyst Emmanuel Acho and aforementioned head of FS1 content Charlie Dixon for career advancement.

Former UFC champ thinks Jon Jones will beat Tom Aspinall

The hypothetical clash between reigning heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall has caught the attention of many. That includes a former UFC champ in that weight category who has recently offered up his viewpoint on how he sees that fight playing out if it were to come to fruition.

When speaking to Ariel Helwani recently, former multi-time UFC heavyweight kingpin Cain Velasquez stated that he leans more toward Jones than Aspinall if those two get locked in the cage for a title unification bout in 2025. The former UFC champ got into specifics when he mentioned how he sees a particular pattern that Aspinall utilizes in his striking.

Velasquez mentioned how Jones studies other combatants, does his homework on opponents, and theorizes that 'Bones' sees the same striking pattern in the interim champion's approach.

The former UFC champ was quick to say Aspinall's methodology in the stand-up has been demonstrably effective but someone like Jones will be able to craft a counter strategy to that approach which would guide him to victory.
