Jon Jones kept a close eye on the main event of UFC 260 featuring a World Heavyweight title match between champion Stipe Miocic and challenger Francis Ngannou. Bones, who is preparing for his long-awaited move to the HW division, became the target of Twitter after Ngannou's brutal left hook knockout.

While most fight fans salivated on the idea of a potential Jones versus Ngannou blockbuster at heavyweight, others questioned if is it really a good idea for Jones to share the cage with perhaps the scariest knockout artist in history.

As always, the internet is and will always be undefeated.
Jon Jones, of course, has been training heavily over the past couple of months and has been sharing his journey to gain weight for his impending move to heavyweight.
While some question if he should get a title shot with the new champ right away, a Ngannou versus Jones match-up is indeed the right fight to make. While Ngannou undoubtedly would be Jones' most dangerous opponent to date, he would certainly welcome the challenge after clearing out his own division.
But for now, let's just enjoy these Jones-Ngannou memes.
