“I’ve been working for this for a long time,” Jones said afterward. “A lot of people thought I wasn’t coming back. I’ve been faithful to my goal. I’ve been faithful to the mission. There were days I didn’t want to train and I was always there.”

Jones had not fought since February 2020.

“Please punch me, I feel like I’m dreaming,” Grasso said. “I’ve been dreaming for this moment for so long.”
