Former UFC light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones recently made quite the waves in the grappling community when he stepped into the cage at Submission Underground 3 to grapple with MMA legend and former Olympic wrestler Dan Henderson.<\/a><\/p>\n

The matchup was one that was a long time in the making. Back in 2012, Henderson was set to challenge Jones for the light heavyweight championship in the main event of UFC 151. Unfortunately, a ruptured MCL forced Henderson out of the bout, with the UFC subsequently cancelling the entire card when Jones turned down a short-notice fight with Chael Sonnen just eight days before the event.<\/p>\n

When the two stepped into the cage nearly five years later to grapple at Submission Underground 3, Jones submitted the MMA legend in an impressive showing.<\/a><\/p>\n

With his NSAC-served suspension keeping him sidelined from MMA competition until summer, Jones has been open about setting his sights on another grappling match in the meantime. Unsurprisingly, this resulted in numerous JiuJitsu practitioners calling out the former champ for a grappling match. <\/p>\n

One of the men who called Jones out was none other than Conor McGregor’s JiuJitsu coach Dillon Danis<\/a>, who requested that Jones “beg him” for a grappling match.<\/p>\n

@JonnyBones<\/a> beg me.<\/p>\n
