UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is giving back during the holiday season.
Jones’ charitable side came out days before Christmas as on Monday, he spent several hours giving away winter coats to those less fortunate in Albuquerque, N.M., where he resides.
On Sunday, Jones shared an image on social media of a U-Haul loaded with freshly purchased winter coats from Burlington Coat Factory. He shared details of the giveaway, offering clothing and food to anyone in need that wanted to show up (via Twitter):
Jones’ message clearly spread well around the city, because a large crowd – consisting primarily of the homeless – showed up on Monday to take advantage of the UFC champ’s good nature.
After the fact, Jones shared some images from his day and said it was a “blessing to give, spread love” (via Instagram):
Jones (25-1 MMA, 19-1 UFC) is less than two months out from his return to the octagon. He is scheduled to put his 205-pound belt on the line against undefeated contender Dominick Reyes (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in the main event of UFC 247, which takes place Feb. 8 at Toyota Center in Houston and airs on pay-per-view.
