Matt Hamillthe only person to ever beat Jon Jones could see his victory reversed after the removal of the 12-6 elbow strike rule. It didn’t take long for the UFC heavyweight king to react to the MMA rule change, which is set to go into effect in November. To that end, Jones shared an Instagram post and sent a message to his boss, Dana Whiteabout wiping away the loss of the “history books.”

What do you think about Jon Jones asking Dana White for a rule change?

“Undefeated then, undefeated now.. (Dana White) we’ve got to get that loss out of the history books,” wrote Jon Jones. Meanwhile, Dana White has not yet responded to that message from ‘Bones’, as it seems like he is on vacation with his son, Aidanwho celebrates his birthday today. Should the commission consider overturning the decision in the Matt Hamill bout, Jones could easily become the greatest MMA fighter of all time by wiping the zero from the losses portion of his record.

Is Conor McGregor Fighting in the BKFC?

Conor McGregor made headlines again, but for a reason that not many fans would be happy about. He fired Mike Perryand the biggest star of the BKFC could be gone. We don’t yet know if the Irishman has the authority to make such decisions, but what we do know for now is the possibility of seeing McGregor in action in his own branded promotion. ‘The Notorious’ has spoken out about what fight fans can expect after his UFC run ends.

“Two more fights on my UFC contract… possibly (takes off his UFC gloves), yeah. Possibly,” Conor McGregor said during a recent media frenzy. So the UFC could be in for a nasty surprise if ‘The Notorious’ decides to part ways with the promotion that made him the superstar he is today. But on the bright side for fans, McGregor claims that winning a world title with his bare knuckles “sounds very, very exciting.”
