Chris Pratt has fanboy moment over UFC champ Jon Jones
Jones’ victory brought out the best in Pratt, who was under the scanner not too long ago for criticizing another UFC fighter Israel Adesanya, for which he had issued a public apology later. Jones’ big win on the 5th however transformed the Guardians of the Galaxy star into a fanboy, with him quoting the tattoo that the UFC champion sports.
Pratt used popular terminology to praise Jones and called him the P4P GOAT – Greatest Of All Time, a moniker often used with athletes or sportspeople fans believe to be the best across ages. The tattoo included a quote from Philippians 4:13, which speaks of omnipotence awarded by the strength of Christ. Pratt claimed that the result gave him goosebumps.
