Few have had a longer career in the ring than Jones

Big UFC events in Las Vegas tend to attract lots of big names and last night's Anderson v Diaz show was no exception. However, Conor McGregor was delighted to meet just one man, boxing legend Roy Jones Jnr. Jones has been a star since the 1988 Olympics and since his controversial silver medal there he went on to have a stellar pro carrer, winning titles at weigths ranging from light middleweight to heavyweight, which we doubt will ever be repeated. That career makes him one of the all-time greats so we're not surprised that McGregor was so happy to have his picture taken with him.
