10 UFC Fighters Influenced By WWE

3. Jon Jones

When Jon Jones starts throwing D-X style crotch chops at opponents, you know he has been paying attention to the WWE world. Jones, the disgraced former light heavyweight champion who was stripped of his title when he hit a pregnant woman's car while driving under the influence, breaking her am in the process, and fleeing the scene, has embraced the heel role of late. Maybe it's the pro wrestling influence. Besides the crotch chop antics, Jones also attended a live WWE event for the first time about a year back, and was seen hanging out back stage with none other than the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. Well, again, at least he knows the right people to hang out with.
