Fans ruthlessly pulled up to UFC superstar Jon Jones with a t-shirt of his mugshot in a hilarious moment.

Jones met with fans in Milwaukee ahead of MMA show APFC 5. He took part in a meet and greet and was involved in a brilliant moment.

A couple of brave fans wore a custom-made t-shirt, which had Jones' mugshot printed on the front.

The UFC heavyweight champion embraced the fans before realising the picture on the t-shirts.

He walked away from them and booed the fans, hilariously calling them 'assholes'.

To his credit, 'Bones' saw the funny side as he continued to interact with them before taking a picture.

Needless to say, the daring stunt sent social media wild as some people praised Jones for his reaction.

One Twitter user wrote: "You have to be a stupid person to think this is a good idea."

A second tweeted: "As much as I don’t like him he does interact with his fans better than most fighters."

A third added: "The balls on these kids."

A fourth said: "I'm not even risking joking around with Jones."

Another commented: "Fans pulling up to Jon Jones with a t-shirt with his mugshot is gutsy lmao."

Jones, meanwhile, hasn't fought since his dominant submission victory over Ciryl Gane last March.

He won the vacant UFC heavyweight title, with a meeting against Stipe Miocic thought to be in the works.

But the 35-year-old seems to be interested in facing WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, having exchanged words on social media.

"I would love it if Dana could make that fight happen," he said regarding a potential cross-over bout.

"That’s one thing about the UFC, we always give the fans what they want to see.

"Tyson Fury is just such a magnificent opponent, and it would be awesome to make that fight happen. I’m up for it, and I’d even be willing to box him. Let’s see what happens."
