Jon Jones was left shocked during the inaugural Dirty Boxing Championship event after his teammate had been left on the ground.
Earlier this week it was shockingly announced that UFC Heavyweight Champion, Jon Jones, became the co-owner of a new combat promotion, Dirty Boxing Championship.
The news came when the future of Jon Jones in the UFC is still in the air, because his potential title Unification Fight against Tom Aspinall remains in negotiations with UFC boss Dana White who still remains convinced that it will happen.
And with that, the inaugural Dirty Boxing Championship event on Saturday evening clashed with the event of the UFC in London, where Aspinall Jones continued to mock and brought a rubber duck to the event.

Jon Jones' teammate suffers gruesome 40 seconds Ko
Although Dirty Boxing Championship held an event last November, with Yoel Romero who scored a big knockout, the event was kept behind closed doors and did not broadcast anywhere.
Saturday marked the first live event of the promotion, from the Hangar in Regatta Harbor in Miami Florida and the event was again at the head of 'The Solider of God', Yoel Romero.
And because this was the first event since the co-ownership announcement of Jones, it included one of his old teammates and former UFC hunter, Maurice Greene, who took on Rakim Cleveland.
Unfortunately for 'Bones' and his team, his new combat firm came a disastrous start, when Greene was brutally eliminated within only 40 seconds.
Almost as soon as the fight started, Greene tried a 1-2 in the pipe and seemed to cause some damage to his own shoulder. After he was caught on a short tracing, he put his hands on the mat for a moment.
Cleveland succeeded with a few huge shots, so Greene poured through the ropes and apparently pronounced unconscious.
Immediately after the referee entered, Greene seemed to be shaking on the floor, whereby the commentators claimed that he might be trying to put his shoulder back in place.
Although, once he returned, Greene continued to shake and then pulled his way out of the ring with his health status unknown.
UFC Fighter Berates Greene's Coaches due to lack of help after Ko
The scene that unfolded was a pretty disturbing one, especially in view of the fact that a doctor looked at the rings and did little to help Greene on the stool.
Not only that, but 'The Crochet Boss' coaches were nowhere to be seen after the fight when Greene stumbled alone.
UFC veteran, Charles Johnson went to X to wonder where Greene's coaches were during the scene.
“Where is the corners of the hook boss, the f— man helps my God. He clearly lost his balance. Doctor sees him just struggling, help him to the stool,” said the UFC fly weight.
