Jon Jones has always been an enigma. The UFC undisputed heavyweight champion is as famous for his brutal fighting style as he is for his unpredictable antics outside the Octagon. But just when fans thought they’d seen it all, a viral clip surfaced showing Jones in a setting no one expected! The same man who rag-dolled Daniel Cormier and dismantled Ciryl Gane was caught on camera moving to a different kind of rhythm. The footage shared by ‘Happy Punch’ on Instagram was captioned, “UFC champion Jon Jones twerking on somebody’s Grandma”

The short clip shows Jones getting into the groove, playfully dancing with an elderly woman. But then he starts twerking and the lady slaps him on the shoulder as ‘Bones’ bursts out into laughter. Well, this isn’t the first time the champion has made waves with his dance moves.

A Reddit video from a few years ago showed Jon Jones landing at an Arab wedding before busting out some moves. Leading some fans to comment on the post, “Jon Arabia”. And who could forget his ‘Trump Dance’ after he demolished Stipe Miocic at UFC 309?

With UFC CEO Dana White recently confirming that the plan is to book Jones against interim champion Tom Aspinall this summer, some fans remarked this could be his way of shaking off the pressure? Or is it just another classic example of Jones embracing the unexpected? Either way, fans had plenty to say!

Fans take aim at Jon Jones after bizarre video of UFC champion “twerking” goes viral

Given Jon Jones’ history of brutal finishes, some fans joked that the grandma in question should count herself lucky. A flying knee or spinning elbow might have been a different story altogether!

“I mean thank god it wasn’t a flying elbow”

Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of gaming history’s most highly anticipated releases. Some fans playfully compared the endless wait for its release to Jones’ extended absence from the Octagon. After all, both seem to be taking their sweet time.

“We got Jon Jones twerking before GTA 6”

Jones has yet to commit to a fight against Tom Aspinall officially. However, according to UFC boss Dana White during a recent conversation on ‘The Jim Rome Show’, “The plan is to fight Jon this summer, obviously, when, where and all that stuff is being determined. My goal this year is to make that fight [with] Aspinall.” As such, the fans saw this moment as another distraction from what they really want, ‘Bones’ back in the cage.

“Anything but fighting aspinall bro”

While the champ has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time, his history outside the Octagon is far from spotless. This fan’s comment took a darkly humorous approach to his checkered past.

“Careful with the slap, considering she is old, out of her prime and a woman, Jones might fight her”

Others kept the jabs about Jones seemingly avoiding Tom Aspinall coming as they pointed out that all the lady had to do was mention the interim heavyweight champion’s name to send Jones running!

“If she whispered “aspinall” he’d run away”

To wrap things, Jon Jones’ latest viral moment may have been all in good fun, but it didn’t shield him from the relentless jabs of MMA fans. With many already questioning his commitment to facing Tom Aspinall, this unexpected dance break only fueled the fire. Do you think Dana White will be able to get the undisputed champion to unify the belts against Aspinall this year? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
