UFC's Jon Jones Chokes Fan Unconscious, Immediately Revives Him

Imagine being choked out by a UFC fighter. Imagine if that fighter is light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

Well, for some bizarre reason, a fan wanted to be choked out by Jones at a fitness show in Germany.

He made an appearance at the FIBO fitness trade show in Cologne earlier in the year and put a fan to sleep.

A fan asked Jones to put him in a rear naked choke hold and he obliged. Yes, really. Why? We haven't got a f**king clue.

Once putting him to sleep, Jones immediately revived the poor lad by lifting his legs. The pair embraced after he woke up.

Since that appearance in Germany, Jones has defended his 205lbs title against Thiago Santos. He beat the Brazilian slugger by split-decision in a controversial result at UFC 239.

Its unlikely Jones will have another UFC bout this year, but he did tease a huge fight announcement on Twitter.

"Buckle your seatbelt my friends, Big fiight announcement coming soon," he wrote in reply to a fan.

Though Ariel Helwani claims the 32-year-old won't fight again this year.

"All but confirms Jones won't fight again this year. There was some talk of Nov and Dec but nothing enticing out there," he said in reply to the fight booking between 'Jacare' vs. Jan Błachowicz.

Who do you want to see Jones fight next in the UFC? Let us know.
