Some mixed martial arts (MMA) fans are flat-out nuts.

Take this one for example, who met up with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones at the FIBO fitness trade show over the weekend in Germany. The fan asked Jones to put him in a rear-naked choke and render him unconscious. “Bones” happily obliged.

Jones choked the fan until he went out, and then set him down gently, picked up his legs, and shook them a bit until he regained consciousness.

Check out the video here:

Jones is gearing up to make his return to the Octagon soon. The 205-pound champion will be defending his crown against Brazilian knockout artist Thiago Santos.

They’ll headline the UFC 239 on pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 6. In his last outing, Jones defended his title against Anthony “Lionheart” Smith with a dominant performance at UFC 235.

Also, in the co-main event, Amanda Nunes returns to 135 pounds. She defends her belt against former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm.

Strawweight fighter Paige VanZant received some much-needed ‘good news’ regarding her healing arm earlier this week.

VanZant, 25, has been staying busy in her time away from the Octagon. Just last week, she joined the M-1 Global team to do commentary duties in the United States. And let us not forget about the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition that VanZant recently posed for.

“12 Gauge” has been sidelined with her second broken arm in as many fights. Although the road to recovery from such an injury is a long and arduous process for a fighter, VanZant has just received some promising news.

“I got really good news yesterday. My arm actually is healing the way it’s supposed to, I’m not having those healing issues this time,” VanZant said earlier this week. “It’s totally healing. I should be able to start training in three weeks.”

“In three weeks, I should be able train again so that means punching and hitting things.”

If VanZant does indeed get the clearance to resume training in three weeks, that would put her on a possible timetable for return in the summer. The timing would be right in that she could return in time for two of the biggest cards of the year.

“I’m going to talk to my managers and it depends on how quickly I can start hitting things. I would hope June or July,” VanZant revealed. “Of course, we’re going to talk to the UFC, my management team and my coaches but in my mind July sounds right.”

“12 Gauge” would be a welcome addition to either card. Hopefully, VanZant will be able to get back to full strength in time for the summer.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is looking to book Michael Chiesa vs. Diego Sanchez for UFC 239 on July 6.

ESPN’s Ariel Helwani was the first to break the news via a tweet. He points out the fight is not a done deal yet. However, it is the direction the promotion wants to go.

Chiesa made a successful welterweight debut at UFC 232 when he submitted Carlos Condit in the second round. He will try to stay unbeaten at 170 pounds.

As for Sanchez. The veteran finds himself on a two-fight winning streak after dropping a couple of fights. A win over Chiesa would be a feather in the HOF cap of Sanchez.

UFC 239 takes place July 6 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jon Jones will defend his light heavyweight title against Thiago Santos in the evening’s main event.
