Trust me, it’s worth sticking around until the end of this GIF.

Aside from the stellar night of high-octane combat sports action, MMA fans were given another added treat during UFC 187.

A stunning promo for the upcoming featherweight title fight between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor aired during the event, which fans almost unanimously agreed was pretty damn epic.

The UFC 189 promo is supposedly the most expensive ad ever made by the promotion, so it was inevitable that a spoof version was going to emerge eventually, and boy, was it worth the wait.

The spoof version features a memorable cameo from the most controversial man in MMA right now.

Some background information for anyone who requires it, Jon Jones was the light heavyweight champ until he was banned indefinitely from the sport and had his belt revoked.

The UFC made this decision after his involvement in a hit and run in which a pregnant women broke her arm. Jones supposedly fled the scene on foot, but returned a while later to pick up some money he had left in the car.
