“It means the world” - MMA legend Jon Jones honored to link up with Thai superstar Superbon during Bangkok trip

MMA legend and reigning heavyweight champion Jon Jones recently had the opportunity to link up with one of the biggest names in all of ONE Championship, Superbon Singha Mawynn.

Before heading to Saudi Arabia for an event, ‘Bones’ stopped off in Thailand where he met the former ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion.

“I had an awesome time,” Jones said in a video on his Instagram stories while showing off a pair of Superbon’s signed fight shorts. “Now I have a red eye to Saudi Arabia, but I’ll just say, if you know, you know. Superbon, I really appreciate you coming out and showing me support. It means the world."

After surrendering his ONE world title to Chingiz Allazov at ONE Fight Night 6 last year, Superbon has been itching for an opportunity to reclaim 26 pounds of gold. On April 5, it looks like he’ll have the opportunity to do just that.
