Jon Jones gathered a team together to help clean up the streets of Albuquerque and rebuild local businesses following violence and looting.

The tragic death of George Floyd has sparked protests in cities across America, many of which have led to destruction of property.

The now former UFC light-heavyweight champion took to the streets to stop vandals from spray painting the city.

And he has continued to do his bit by helping clean up the streets and rebuild small businesses.

The 32-year-old posted a video when he first arrived at the scene, saying he'd help the city.

He then shared another video of himself and his team in action, accompanied with the caption: "Lots of work to do out in the streets today men. If you're a real one, call your boys and get to work."

Meanwhile, Jones shocked the MMA world when he vacated his UFC light-heavyweight title following a pay dispute with Dana White.

He took to social media to announce he was revoking his belt after failed negotiations to make a heavyweight super-fight against Francis Ngannou.

'Bones' also played match-maker and said he'd come out of his hiatus to face UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

"Reyes vs Jan For the UFC light heavyweight championship of the world. As of right now, I got nothing to really gain fighting either of them. Let me know if you guys want to set up a day in 2021 for that Izzy fight. Hopefully you guys will be willing to pay by then," he wrote on Twitter.
