Jon Jones has been a dominant force in the MMA scene, but somehow one of the UFC’s all-time greats wants his next challenge to be against a retired 53-year-old boxer.
The UFC light heavyweight champion called for fights against Mike Tyson on social media, saying he wants to have both boxing and MMA fights against the man over two decades older than him.
“@miketyson I’ll box you in the ring if you promise to give me a real fight in the octagon afterwards,” Jones wrote on Instagram. “And because I respect you so much, I promise I won’t break anything on you”
Jones, who has had very public issues about fighter pay and negotiations with the UFC recently, says he’s asking for a Tyson fight to finally earn more money.
