Lätt tungviktsmästaren Jon Jones tog sig den 21 september an Alexander Gustafsson, då de möttes vid ”Air Canada Center” i Toronto. Matchen blev en jämn sådan som slutligen togs hem av Jones via ett enhälligt domslut, men det var inte alla som höll med om resultatet.
Nu meddelar Jon att han tröttnat på Gustafsson, och hävdar bland annat att han har tre gånger så mer hjärta än den kommande titelutmanaren. Här kan ni läsa vad Jones hade att säga via ”FoxSports”:
I respected him a lot more before we fought. I’ll tell you what, he has so much arrogance for someone who didn’t win. I find it funny, because Gustafsson lost the fight fair and square. I will admit he won Round 1 and Round 3, but that’s it. I won the fight.
I’ve never heard someone chirp so much who lost. I could see if I poked him in the eye and the fight had to be stopped or I caught him with a big punch while he was winning and it was a fluke or something. But it was nothing like that.
We fought our hearts out. I proved that I have three times the heart that he did. He needs to close his mouth and go back to the drawing board, and humbly come back for a second chance.
Den 26 april kommer Jon att återigen kliva in i oktagonen, då han möter Glover Teixeira vid UFC 172 i Baltimore.
