UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Conor McGregor recreated their iconic 'Rolex' video from 2014 when the pair met at Donald Trump's inauguration party.
Jones was last seen in the octagon at UFC 309, where he took apart former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic to make the first defense of his title. On the other hand, McGregor last competed at UFC 267 in 2021, where he suffered a broken leg.
Both Jones and McGregor hold tremendous respect for one another and have been admirers of each other's fighting styles. The pair made a funny video in 2014 where 'The Notorious' asked Jones to flex his "number two" Rolex.
'Bones' posted a video on Instagram in which he and McGregor were seen recreating the video and having a good time.

Conor McGregor fight altered Khabib Nurmagomedov's life: "There was no way back"
Khabib Nurmagomedov recently reminisced about his bout with Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in 2018.
Nurmagomedov asserted that training for the fight with the Irishman affected his personal life as he did nothing except prepare. The fight between the pair remains the biggest in the history of the UFC. The matchup sold 2.4 million pay-per-views, which remains a record for the promotion till date.
In an interview with Gorilla Fighting on YouTube, Nurmagomedov looked back on his title fight against McGregor and said:
“I fought Michael Johnson in 2016, [same night] Conor defended the belt, and I challenged him to fight… Everywhere I went, people were discussing the Khabib and Conor fight... That's when I realized that all the training in my life was nothing. Now I have to train 2-3 times harder.''
He added:
''I only ate and trained. There was a time when I didn’t miss a single training session for an entire year... Psychologically, it affected me a lot. It was hard. I didn’t have any personal life. I realized that there was no way back and I had to choose.''
