Jon Jones won his first UFC title all the way back in 2011, so I’m sure the decorated champion has seen his fair share of unusual fan interactions
. A recent night out in Miami after UFC 327 may take the cake, however, as Jones ran into a fight fan with a massive portrait of Jones’ face inked across his entire thigh. The MMA sphere is generally not known for its good tattoos, but this art deserves credit for being well-done and lifelike.Jones reaction (which can be viewed using the arrows below)
was a wholehearted, “That’s crazy!” He also signed the leg and gave it a healthy slap for good measure.
Alas, Jon Jones’ UFC career is in a strange place right now. He vacated his Heavyweight crown and retired briefly last year, but news of the UFC White House card quickly pulled him back into competition. UFC CEO Dana White showed no interest in a “Bones” return, however, reigniting their on again, off again feud that has been simmering for more than a decade.
Will “Bones” fight again? Right now, it’s impossible to say and perhaps dependent on the outcome of Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane at the UFC White House aka Freedom Fights 250 aka UFC 1776.
