A few weeks away from his next title defense, against Glover Teixeira, Jon Jones had a great scare. No, the light heavyweight champion didn't suffer an injury, get sick or anything like that. The problem is that your cat disappeared in the city where you live, Albuquerque, in the US state of New Mexico.

Jones immediately took to social media to ask for help. The animal, Mufasa, is of the exotic Savannah breed, a cross between the African serval and a domestic cat, whose kitten can fetch an incredible price of US$25. The champion even offered a reward of US$1500 to anyone who finds Mufasa.
