Predicting a move set that would determine how a fight would end is something that many fight fans tend to do but typically those guesses don’t come true. But there was one man who successfully predicted that Jon Jones would defeat Stipe Miocic with a spinning back kick at UFC 309. And the man who predicted it all? It was none other than the heavyweight champion himself.

Not too long after the UFC heavyweight champion executed the spinning back kick at Madison Square Garden, Prophet Lovy Elias took to Instagram and shared a few pictures of Jones’ training. In the pictures, we can see ‘Bones’ practicing the new weapon in his arsenal.

In the caption, he wrote, “I watched him practice this technique repeatedly. On the first days of camp, he told me he envisioned himself finishing the fight with a spinning back kick. Well That’s all she wrote.”

Visualizing a move while training and executing it with perfection inside the cage is indeed a skill that only fighters with high battle IQ can do. And it seems like Jones was one of them. Nevertheless, when he came across his Christian spiritual guide’s social media post, the champ had to show gratitude. Taking to the comments section, Jones wrote, “Thank you for the prayers.”

As soon as the Prophet shared the post on Instagram, the fighting community took over the comments section to express their thoughts. Let’s see what the fight fans had to say!

Jon Jones’ back kick prophecy leaves the MMA realm flabbergasted

Right after Prophet Lovy Elias dropped the post, the fighting community praised the spiritual figure and the UFC heavyweight champion. One of the fans commented, “That prophetic grace from the prophet will have you seeing in the spirit.” Meanwhile, another fan pointed out that the prayers benefited Charles Oliveira in his fight against Michael Chandler. The comment read, “He Came, He SAW, He Conquered…literally. Also your prayers went undefeated tonight oliviera even benefited.” One more fan wrote, “God really gave him prophetic fighting ability. From the crawl to the kick.”

Some fans commended Jon Jones’ determination and persistent training. One fan wrote, “Practice makes perfect.” But the appreciation for the spinning back kick was never-ending. A fan commented, “That was a victorious kick. He finished strong.” A few fans even pointed out that anticipating the kick was nigh on impossible. The comment went like this, “It was absolutely 💯 impossible to read this spinning kick ..🔥🔥 great champion 🏆.”

At the end of the day, the praise reflected the battle-hardened persona of Jon Jones. One fan wrote, “Expertise, this man!!!! 🔥Funny personality but a beast in his game!!” Meanwhile, another comment went like, “Thats Preperation Of Legendary Fighters 🔥🙏🙏 My All Time One Favourite Jonnybones.”
