As Jon Jones waits for his fight against veteran Stipe Miocic, he bumped into another heavyweight fighter. Moldovan fighter Serghei Spivak faced off against ‘Bones’, standing shoulder to shoulder. Consequentially, fans shared their reactions to this rare face-off on Instagram.

Serghei Spivak racked up a three-fight winning streak at UFC Vegas 68 after defeating Derrick Lewis via submission. After his fight, during the Octagon interview, ‘Polar Bear’ expressed his wish to fight for the title and called out Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. He didn’t get the fight, but he recently met up with Jones.
