“Hot news! I am pleased to announce that I will compete for the organization of grapple number one in the world, Fury Grappling! (On) December 9th, I will be in New Jersey competing against WWE superstar and undefeated Bellator heavyweight, Jack Swagger,” Jones wrote in his 'Twitter'.
While competing in grappling, Jones is still preparing his transition to heavyweight (up to 120,2kg) of Ultimate. The North American has even recorded some of his training on 'Fight Ready', with the former double champion Henry Cejudo. Considered by many to be the best MMA fighter of all time, 'Bones' hasn't performed for almost two years, since he defeated his compatriot Dominick reyes and managed to keep the light heavyweight belt.
Jake Hager, who became known in WWE as 'Jack Swagger', worked in the pro-wrestling franchise for 11 years. He became champion of the event, but ended his relationship with the organization in 2017. The North American has also competed on AEW Dynamite and, in MMA, has three fights – being victorious in all of them.
