WATCH: Jon Jones shows off dance moves at UFC 285 after party

Newly crowned UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones was able to show off his dance moves in front of his fans at his UFC 285 after-party this weekend.

Jones' quickly silenced any of his critics at UFC 285 this weekend as he dominated Ciryl Gane to win the vacant 265-pound strap. The bout marked Jones' return to the octagon after three years away and also his debut in the heavier division.

Much had been made about the size and speed of 'Bon Gamin' prior to their bout, but 'Bones' made it look like business as usual. The 35-year-old wrestled Gane to the mat before propping him up to the side of the octagon and locking in a guillotine choke. The Frenchman tapped out in just the second minute of the fight as Jones cemented his legacy as arguably the greatest fighter of all time.
