Hawk Tuah Girl challenges Jon Jones to a fight after kickboxing training video: “Sign me up, Dana White”
Viral sensation Haliey Welch, also known as Hawk Tuah Girl, recently challenged Jon Jones to a fight. The 22-year-old internet personality delighted her fans with a kickboxing training video on her social media, in which she called out the UFC heavyweight champion.
On her X-Account, Welch posted her kickboxing training at Renzo Gracie Gym in Los Angeles. Throughout the video, her progress seems impressive, which even led her to challenge Jon Jones and ask Dana White for a contract in the UFC.
“Jon Jones, where are you, motherfucker,” Haliey Welch said, challenging the heavyweight champion at the end of her training session. The internet personality felt comfortable challenging the heavyweight champion after her grueling one-day training session.
“Sign me up, Dana White,” Welch captioned her post, giving the impression that she is ready to challenge tough competition from one of the best combat sports organizations in the world.
The video shows Welch, along with her friend Chelsea, fighting her manager Jamie. She landed a few powerful kicks to the stomach that seemingly knocked him to the ground. Judging by her behavior, a Jon Jones callout was predictable.
This is far from Haliey Welch’s first rodeo in combat sports. The Hawk Tuah girl was invited by YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul to sit ringside for his fight against BKFC star Mike Perry. There are also rumors that she is taking part in the influencer or crossover boxing scene that seems to be rampant in the combat sports world.
She also performed in the popular Karate Combat League, which had gained prominence in the world of martial arts.
After the viral interview, Haliey Welch has become one of the most popular personalities on the internet. Her snarky commentary made her a global phenomenon in a short period of time. The fact that the Hawk Tuah Girl is participating in some kind of fighting tournament may be of interest to fans, but it is not yet confirmed.
As for Jon Jones, the heavyweight champion of the world is scheduled to fight Stipe Miocic in November. Although fans have expressed interest in watching Bones defend his title against Tom Aspinall, the UFC doesn’t seem to be concerned about him facing Stone Cold instead.
However, Dana White has expressed in previous interviews that the winner of the Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic match would possibly face Tom Aspinall. Bones hinted at a possible resignation after his fight against Stone Cold, which leaves the Englishman in the dark.
