Jon Jones used to use a surprising fight nickname.
Fans online are hearing his early nickname for the first time and it’s pretty wild for combat sport.
Even Jones himself in the past spoke of his embarrassment of the name, when he tweeted: “My original fight nickname used to be sexual chocolate, what in the hell was I thinking?” Jones since then adopted the nickname ‘Bones’ which has been ever-present throughout his hugely successful stint in the UFC.

The MMA legend is set to take on Stipe Miocic this year although no date has been announced but many believe Tom Aspinall should be getting the next shot at Jones.
Not Dana White though who has once again issued a blunt verdict on the fight.
“What he did to Curtis Blaydes, the way he did it and how fast he did it, there is no doubt this guy is a scary dude and he looks like the future of the heavyweight division” White told respected MMA reporter Kevin Iole.
“But at the same time, he’s working his way up. He’s climbing up the ladder.
“Everyone says, ‘He deserves this, and he deserves that.’ The dude doesn’t deserve anything. He looks great and he looks like he’s going to be the guy.
“You have Stipe and Jon, who have paid their dues, they’ve been here forever, they’ve fought everybody, and they’ve fought everybody, they’ve fought all the fights you can possibly fight.
“These guys deserve to fight each other. Whoever wins that fight, I think they owe it to Aspinall to fight him and give him the opportunity that they’ve been given.”
