Jon Jones is simply unstoppable! Why? Well, for starters – he became a two-division (light heavyweight and heavyweight) UFC champ this March by dismantling Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. In a fight that lasted just a few minutes, ‘Bones’ proved that even when he’s off-stage, he’s not slouching around. This historic comeback after 3 years of fight drought reaffirmed his stature in the game as arguably the greatest of all time.

What’s more, the two-division champ has recently acclaimed yet another notable recognition. In a recent addition to his accolades, Bones was announced as the winner of the ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) for the 2023 UFC Fighter of the Year. The #1 UFC P4P fighter recently shared some clicks from his iconic moments at the ESPY Awards ceremony in Las Vegas, and fans are all over his social media handles, just pouring in praises and support for the GOAT.
