Video: Jon Jones almost accidentally knocks out Gable Steveson with flying knee in training

Jon Jones is looking sharp and ready to fend off Stipe Miocic’s wrestling at UFC 309 – maybe a little too sharp.

[autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag] is looking sharp and ready to fend off Stipe Miocic’s wrestling at UFC 309.

Maybe even a little too sharp, as Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) almost took Olympic gold medalist wrestler [autotag]Gable Steveson[/autotag]’s head off with a flying knee while defending a takedown during practice.

Steveson has gone over to Jackson Wink MMA in Albuquerque, N.M., to help Jones prepare for his upcoming heavyweight title defense against former champ Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in the UFC 309 main event Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Take a look at the moment Jones might’ve knocked out Steveson had he not held up just in time:
