Two-division Jon Jones couldn’t be more happy with Leon Edward’s win against Colby Covington this past Saturday.
In fact, Jones wants to prove his happiness by buying the Englishman a very expensive Christmas gift.
“Leon Edwards, I couldn’t be more happy for you,” Jones wrote via Twitter. “As an American champion in this game, I salute you, that was truly a job well done. Let me know if I can (get) you a motorcycle or something for Christmas. Feel like I owe you one.”

Heavyweight champion Jon Jones was expected to face former heavyweigh title champ Stipe Miocic on November 11 at the Madison Square Garden, however, the fight was scrapped after Jones sustained a pectoral muscle injury.
The injury required surgery which will put him out for 8 months.
