UFC champion Jon Jones recently had a chance encounter with the bodybuilding icon, Kai Greene. The two shared banter and iconic moments together. ‘Mr. Getting It Done’ never won the Mr. Olympia crown but established himself as one of the very best in the sport’s history.

Likewise, ‘Bones’ cemented his legacy in MMA as he clinched the heavyweight crown after defeating Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Both the legends of their respective fields also put the fans in a tight spot with a tossed-up choice.

Despite finishing a close second on multiple occasions at Mr. Olympia, Greene has shied away from exhibiting his shredded physique on a competitive platform since 2014. His ability to amuse fans with his power and strength is still non-questionable. But, he had a different challenger this time in Jon Jones.

Kai Greene offers a tough choice between himself and Jon Jones

The 47-year-old bodybuilder took to his Instagram handle and shared an image of him in a stare-down, clinching fists against a tensed Jon Jones. He amusingly presented fans with a hypothetical scenario where both went toe-to-toe and asked who would emerge as a victor and wrote, “Who wins!?”

While ‘The Predator’ has a chiseled physique and makes lifting hundreds of pounds look easy, the MMA fighter has carved out a reputation for his fighting acumen. In addition, his recent move up to 265 lbs division required adding bulk to his frame, which only boosted his strength in return. His new beefed-up physique might pose a threat to the IFBB pro bodybuilder.
