Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones congratulated the legendary Vitor Belfort on completing a career in mixed martial arts.

"Enjoy your career, brother, you deserve it. Thank you for the wonderful fight, this evening I learned a lot about myself. Nothing but respect for you, Vitor. I know that my hand would be a nice trophy for you, and maybe we'll repeat it someday at one of the Jiu-Jitsu tournaments or somewhere else," Jones posted to Instagram.

Jones and Belfort had the fight in September 2012 - the meeting ended with the victory of Jones by submissio in the fourth round.
