“Roy is excited to be coming back to Russia to fight, and we are very happy that we were able to put this together so quickly with our good friend and partner Vlad Hrunov,” said John Wirt, CEO of Square Ring Promotions. “We are disappointed that the fight with Bobby Gunn didn’t happen, but there were just too many loose ends, and it was taking far too long. Vlad came forward and closed the deal on Monday. We have a longstanding relationship with him and his team and knew that he could make it happen.” [Click Here To Read More]

I can't remember the name of the opponent, but if I'm remembering this right Jones was winning the fight (he wasn't dominating by any means though) until he got knocked down. After the knockdown Jones was an entirely different man, and the opponent should have won all the rounds from then out. Jones was declared the winner and the Ruskies were left saying wtf.
