UFC star Paddy Pimblett recently shared a fascinating backstage video on Instagram documenting his meeting with former two-division champion Jon Jones. What made the encounter special was the history between them; Pimblett reminded Jones that they first met 16 years ago at a UK fan expo when Paddy was just a young fan.

However, the funniest moment came when Pimblett jokingly admitted to Jones that he was "playing both sides". The British lightweight had just finished hanging out with UFC legend Daniel Cormier—Jones' fiercest historical rival—right before walking over to greet Jones.

Jones took the joke in stride, laughing and replying, "It's okay. I got no problem with DC. Hey, I won!" Jones then showed great respect for Pimblett's current success, noting he is a big fan of "The Baddy". The lighthearted interaction quickly went viral, showing how a teenage fan eventually grew up to share a laugh with the sport's biggest legends.
