Considered by many to be the greatest and best MMA fighter in history, Jon Jones is determined to fight outside the UFC and has been trying everything. Having clashed with Dana White, the former light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) and heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) champion surprised everyone by expressing interest in competing in wrestling. 'Bones's' revelation was made at RAF 9, an event held last Saturday (30), in Texas (USA).

Jones attended the wrestling organization's show not only because he's a fan of wrestling, but also to support Gable Stevenson , the Olympic champion in the sport and his friend. After his student in combat sports won his RAF debut, the MMA legend, in an interview with the company, expressed his excitement to represent them and return to the sport he practiced so much during his college days.

"I would love to wrestle here with you guys. That would be a lot of fun," said the MMA legend.
