NEWARK, N.J. — Jon Jones has a specific fight day ritual. He likes to visit a spot with some natural beauty to feel the energy of nature. It’s supposed to be a peaceful time, a way to collect his own power and find his focus.
On Saturday afternoon, his peaceful spot turned to chaos. Jones found himself in the middle of a robbery, and along with coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn, helped apprehend a thief.
Jones recounted the story in brilliant style following his star-making UFC 128 championship win over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, capping off a day that can only be classified as epic.
