FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Jon jones challenged by mma fighter with no legs after ufc heavyweight title win - Caught on Camera

Jon Jones was challenged to a push-up competition by an MMA fighter with no legs just moments after winning the UFC heavyweight title.

UFC legend Jones, 35, hadn't fought in over three years but made a flawless return to the octagon by choking out Ciryl just over two minutes into their vacant title fight. 'Bones' is now one of the few two-weight champions in UFC history and the consensus greatest fighter of all-time was by no means tired after the fight as he took on legless MMA fighter Zion Clark in a push-up competition backstage.

Jones could be seen greeting Clark and telling him: "I love what you're doing man! You're killing it. I see you, it's a big occasion," Jones said. Man god bless you, keep doing what you're doing. Z, let's go baby! I know you wanna hit that push-up competition. I got some extra in me too."
