Jones shared on his Instagram this Thursday (26) a video where he fights with a tiger and also other encounters with a lion and an ocelot.
“In case you didn't know, I'm a huge fan of big cats. I was excited to check something else off my list. Thanks for the invite @offleashk9training. If you are interested in checking out the cats, visit http://www.singlevisioninc.org,” Jones said in his post.
Jon Jones hasn't fought since July 2017, when he knocked out Daniel Cormier to regain the light heavyweight belt. As 'Bones' tested positive in the anti-oping test before the fight, the victory was annulled and the title returned to 'DC'.
Jones is currently awaiting sentencing from the latest positive drug test. His manager, Malki Kawa, is optimistic that USADA should release the fighter's judgment by the end of July.
“They are trying very hard. I know everyone involved is working hard to reach a resolution. I know the UFC is anxiously waiting and we are dealing with USADA on a daily basis. They've been really good to us in that they really dig into this thing and look at it from a lot of different angles and things. I hope he is released next month and the opportunity to fight presents itself. If it’s next year, the beginning of next year, or whatever it is, I’m confident,” said Kawa.
