“They Were Later Found With Both Kneecaps Facing Backwards”: Fans Have a Field Day After “Idiotic” Admirers Put Jon Jones Mugshot Picture on Their T-Shirt During a Meet and Greet

With the UFC strap across two weight classes, thirteen title defenses, and a resume that includes wins over eight former world champions, hardly anyone deserves the GOAT status more than Jon Jones.

With such a decorated career, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Jones has garnered a huge fan following. Over the years, the UFC star has regularly conducted meet-and-greets for his fanbase, and one of those recently went viral on the internet due to something special about the event.

A t-shirt featuring Jon Jones’ mugshot pic

Recently, Jon Jones appeared at a meet-and-greet event organized by Anthony Pettis-owned APFC in Wisconsin. While many other names from MMA were present, fans were especially excited to see Jon Jones, who is coming off a successful heavyweight debut and winning the heavyweight title. As expected, fans were excited to see their star in person. However, two fans did something that made this meetup go viral on the internet. The two men, dressed in all-black outfits, were wearing t-shirts bearing Jones’ picture from his mugshot. Although it’s not unusual for fans to wear celebrity t-shirts, the image of Jones’ mugshot made it unique.

Despite this, Jones had a calm reaction to this and took the joke with laughter. In the past, Jon Jones has found himself in multiple legal troubles, including a hit-and-run case and, more recently, an assault on his fiancé, resulting in him being in jail multiple times. For those unaware, a mugshot is a picture taken by law enforcement units at the time of arrest or legal custody. While this is not the first time something like this has happened to a celebrity, the former light heavyweight champion was the calmest out of all of them. A few days ago, Jones’s fellow UFC star, Kevin Holland was also on the receiving end of a prank, but that one crossed the boundaries of decency.

Reddit Reacts

Like most things on the internet, this video clip also found its way onto Reddit. As expected, Redditors didn’t shy away from expressing their unique thoughts on the matter. Here are some selected reactions:
