Jon Jones puts fan in hospital and leaves him on crutches after leg kick request
UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones didn't hold back when asked by a fan to kick him in the leg.
Jones, 36, hasn't fought since his world title win against Ciryl Gane over a year ago as a chest injury forced him out of his first title defence against Stipe Miocic last November. 'Bones' underwent two surgeries, one for his torn pec and one for an elbow injury, and is seemingly recovering well having taken part in several international meet and greets.
The UFC legend visited Australia last month as part of his tour around the world and one fan bizarrely requested for Jones to kick him in the leg. If one time wasn’t bad enough, the bold fan even asked for a second kick. It left him with a visit to a local hospital and on crutches with a battered and bruised hamstring.
"Scary thing is that is nowhere near full power," one comment read. "Now imagine taking multiple leg kicks at full force," a second user added. "Begging for a harder kick from Jon Jones is a bold call," another comment read. "Ok, now why in the f*** would you volunteer for that haha," a final user wrote.
It's not the only time Jones has shown off his MMA techniques on fans, as he happily choked out a man during a fitness expo in 2019. The fan asked Jones to put him unconscious with a rear-naked choke and after just a few seconds he went limp, with Jones then helping bring him back to life by lifting his legs into the air.

Jones, who is widely regarded as the greatest MMA fighter of all-time, is hoping to defend his UFC heavyweight title in a rescheduled fight against Miocic later this year. Jones has also been called out by British star Tom Aspinall, who currently holds the interim title in his weight class.
"Tom, you talking about someone’s ego running wild is one of the most hypocritical things ever. You literally haven’t kept my balls out of your mouth since you won that imaginary championship. Both you and Sergei [Pavlovich] have zero championships between your name. It’s funny that you actually walk around feeling like the world champion," Jones wrote to Aspinall earlier this year.
