Here's a new way to warm up for a championship fight.

UFC star Jon "Bones" Jones was in a park on Saturday, the day of his title fight with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, when he spotted a "crackhead" smash the car window of an "old lady" and take off running with her GPS.

Jones described the ensuing events on his Twitter page:

"Right away, Coach Wink [Mike Winkeljohn] goes after this guy. Without hesitation, Coach [Greg] Jackson went after him…I was shocked and stood there for a second … then I threw my phone down and went with my coaches. Before you know it, we're sprinting up a steep hill chasing after him. I turned the jets on….we caught the guy. We got the lady's GPS back. It feels so good to help others. It gives me power and energy."

Mere hours later, Jones defeated Rua for the light heavyweight crown, perhaps due to that extra power and energy.

Jones posted this photo of him and Jackson subduing the criminal on his Twitter feed.
