Lolo Jones is no stranger to having multiple occupations — how many other Olympic hurdler-slash-bobsledders are there on this planet? So when she joked about adding MMA to her repertoire, there were of course parties that took her at her word, er tweet.
It started with Jones’ reaction to Ronda Rousey’s 34-second domination of Bethe Correia.
How much are these chicks paid to get knocked out in seconds? I cant fight but I'll prolong it and run circles for least a minute #UFC190

There are parties that think Jones’ comments indicate that she’s legit considering giving UFC a whirl. Others rad her subsequent tweets and have concluded that Jones is just being silly.
Why are my haters so mad I offered to fight @RondaRousey? Don't they want to see me get punched in the face? pic.twitter.com/mxbqAyBlKM

We’re leaning towards the possibility that Jones is joking. But we aren’t going to lie, we expect that many people would pay to watch Jones get into the Octagon any day of the week.
