That fight came after Jones won the lightweight title with another first-round knockout against Joe McColgan.
It’s unclear at this time which weight class Jones will focus on now that he’s in the UFC but obviously he has experience competing at both 155 pounds and 170 pounds.
Jones joins a long line of former Cage Warriors standouts to join the UFC roster, none more famous than Conor McGregor, who was also a two-division champion when he fought for the European promotion.
So happy this was filmed. Was in so much shock I didn’t absorb it all. Still not settled in. UFC signed athlete. Crazy https://twitter.com/cagewarriors/status/1318165215360548864
