Is Jon Jones really hurt? The undisputed UFC heavyweight champion of the world recently paid a visit to Australia. Moreover, a video clip has gone viral where Jones was seen getting physical with some rugby players on the pitch. The video has seemingly raised suspicions about his injury among the UFC fans on social media.

It is now common knowledge that weeks before his fight against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295, Jon Jones tore his pectoral muscle off of the bone. This injury put him out of action for a considerable amount of time. Even when Tom Aspinall called him out, Jones mentioned that his injury would not allow him to fight anytime soon. Nevertheless, things might have changed for ‘Bones’ as per a recent viral video.

Furthermore, the rugby players wanted to see how physical Jon Jones could get. He proceeded to show how he does a rugby tackle, which when he did, he effectively took down one of the players. Following that tackle, the whole team celebrated Jones’ tackle, but the fans were suspicious of the UFC champion. Let’s see what they had to say on social media.

Fans are doubtful of Jones’ injury status

Having broken his pectoral muscle and getting surgery recently, Jon Jones could have made a wiser decision by not participating in such a physical activity. As such, some fans wanted to know if he had recovered from his injury after witnessing the video clip.

“Is he recovered from injured now?”

“Wait. Ain’t he hurt?”

“Safe to say that shoulder and pec recovering well lmao”

Some fans believe that Jon Jones may not be injured anymore after a few months of nursing the injury. Yet, others wanted ‘Bones’ to relax and not engage in too many physical activities and further injure himself.

“He ain’t injured”

“No go collect another injury oooo, you must fight this year”

Given how perfect Jon Jones’ tackle was in the video clip, some fans believe that he might be able to compete at UFC 300. As we already know, Tom Aspinall is waiting to fight him in April as well.

“if he can do this then he is ready for UFC300”

Nevertheless, we will have to wait and see how fast Jones can get back to fighting again as the fans are clamoring for some exciting heavyweight fights.
