Perhaps the best thing to come out of Jon Jones previous suspensions were his grappling superfights.
Just recently Vitor Belfort retired and Jon Jones mentioned how much he admired the Brazilian veteran.
To which Belfort replied:
“Fighting Jiu-Jitsu is in my DNA. I am known for my knockouts, but my root is Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. It would be a pleasure to have time to dedicate myself to the art that put me in the world of sports and to test my training.”
And here’s where things get interesting – Jon Jones recently hinted there’s actual moves towards making it a reality.
Meanwhile Belfort posted:
A true OG of BJJ, Kurt Osiander is a Ralph Gracie black belt who is the head instructor at the Ralph Gracie Academy in San Francisco.
