"Ngl I thought it was Aljo for a second" - Fans share hilarious reactions to kid dressing up as Jon Jones for Halloween

A young enthusiast of mixed martial arts dressed up as Jon Jones for Halloween this year and many within this community have taken notice. Bones are prevalent during the spooky season, with skeletons appearing in abundance. So why not have a bit of 'Bones' Jones representation around Halloween time too?

Instagram user @erikalegz posted a photo of the young lad showcasing a UFC title, an artificial beard, and a replica of Jones' 'Phillipians 4:13 tattoo'. ESPN MMA then posted the image alongside a picture of the reigning UFC heavyweight champion next to the in-costume fan to compare the two.

Instagram users flocked to the comment section to have their say on the Jones costume.

Jon Jones' next in-cage assignment

Jon Jones will finally make his all-important first championship defense over a year and a half after winning the heavyweight title. That last bout came after a three-year hiatus. Jones was aiming to put on size to transition from being the consensus greatest light heavyweight ever to being a more filled-out heavyweight competitor.

Jones claimed the vacant UFC heavyweight crown by submitting Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March last year. This transpired in Round 1 with the guillotine choke being locked in just two minutes into the matchup.

The 37-year-old will collide with one of the greatest heavyweights in UFC history, Stipe Miocic. This fight between divisional GOATs will transpire a bit over a year after it was initially scheduled. Jones and Miocic were set to clash at UFC 295 in November last year, but the reigning champ bowed out due to a pectoral injury.

'Bones' will be making that walk again on Nov. 16 in the main event of UFC 309 against Miocic at the same venue as last year, The Madison Square Garden in New York. The Rochester native steps back into his home state with Jones looking to make a massive impact at the World's Most Famous Arena in New York City. Many in the MMA world are keeping their fingers crossed that Jones vs. Miocic gets to the cage this time.
