Jon Jones offers to buy Leon Edwards motorcycle as gift after UFC 296 title win: ‘I couldn’t be happier for you’

Lambasting long-time rival, Colby Covington ahead of UFC 296 over the course of the weekend, heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has offered to gift undisputed welterweight titleholder, Leon Edwards a brand new motorcycle, celebrating the Birmingham native’s decision shoutout win over the former.

Jones, the current heavyweight champion and former two-time light heavyweight gold holder, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 285 back in March, landing the vacant heavyweight title with a dominant opening round guillotine choke submission win over former interim champion, Ciryl Gane.

Ruled from a scheduled return at UFC 295 last month at Madison Square Garden, former pound-for-pound number one, Jones was forced from a comeback fight against Stipe Miocic after he suffered a pectoral tendon tear ahead of the clash.
