Craig Jones ' weigh-in kiss might be a tactic other fighters should pick up ...
'cause he took down Gabi Garcia after planting the smooch on her pre-match. The Australian grappler dominated his 6'2" opponent from the opening bell ..
. though she drew out the fight a little before finally tapping out in the second round of the intergender bout. GG -- who's mulled over an intergender battle like this for years -- has multiple gold medals and world championships in the sport .
.. but, she just couldn't handle Jones who's also one of the best Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes of all time.
Garcia was clearly emotional after the fight ...
and, fans in attendance showed a ton of love for the intrepid fighter -- cheering her on as she became visibly emotional in the fight's aftermath. Of course, the emotion on Garcia's face came from far more than the loss ..
. starting with Jones kissing her during the weigh-in -- a move she felt went way over the line. If you haven't seen the clip .
.. Jones and Garcia approach each other -- before CJ reaches up, pulls Garcia's face down to his and kisses her full on the lips.
Garcia's immediately pissed and starts chasing him around the room -- before screaming out Jones crossed the line. Gabi nearly called the fight off but ultimately agreed to go through with it after multiple prodding messages Jones posted online. Bottom line .
.. Jones may have won the fight -- but, Garcia certainly seemed like the people's champ post-match.
