“I Wanna See Kevin Hart Next to Him”: Fans Have a Field Day After Picture of 21-Year-Old 7′4″ Tall Basketball Sensation Dwarfing UFC Heavyweight Champ Jon Jones Goes Viral

In the realm of mixed martial arts, Jon Jones stands as one giant man, whose larger-than-life stature is only accentuated by his role as an MMA fighter. Affectionately known as ‘Jonny Bones’, he looms at an impressive height of 6’4″ and weighs a formidable 248 lbs. These measurements alone would be considered peak stature for many athletes within the UFC, with only a few exceptions.

However, it was recently when the UFC heavyweight champion encountered a 21-year-old basketball player that the true scale of his size became evident. Watching Jones stand next to this promising young man, who measured a towering 7’4″, the fans were left in splits.
