Tidigare UFC-mästaren i lätt tungvikt Jon Jones (26-1) väljer att håna den nuvarande mästaren i viktklassen Jan Blachowicz och mellanviktsmästaren Israel Adesanya efter att det blivit klart att herrarna möts om Jones gamla bälte.
Hånar supermatchen – skämtar om att han lämnade viktklassen av rädsla
I dagarna meddelade UFC-bossen Dana White att den ovannämnda supermatchen är som gått som klar och kommer äga rum vid UFC 259.
Efter att Jones gav ifrån sig sitt bälte lyckades Jan Blachowicz (27-8) bli ny mästare genom att knocka Dominick Reyes vid UFC 253. Polacken hoppas nu bli förste man att besegra Israel Adesanya (20-0).
Nyheten om att matchen bokats nådde Jon Jones och han valde då att skriva följande via Twitter:
When I move, you move, just like that. 🎶
Name another fighter who’s made more men retire, switch weight classes, or switch organizations all together. I’ll wait— BONY (@JonnyBones) January 2, 2021

I left the LHW division because I was terrified of Dominic, even though Jan was guaranteed the next title shot.🤷🏾♂️ And then once the MW champ suddenly moved up, I knew I had made the right choice 😂 Glad I decided to go the easy route pic.twitter.com/3vXtuTvwcL

Jones valde sedan att skämta med följande:
I didn’t leave the light heavyweight division to challenge myself, I ran out of fear 🥴😂 🐐 💩

Yep, just couldn’t see myself beating Jan, his style is like nothing I’ve seen before 🥴and the thought of fighting a middleweight striker in 2021 was the final straw, figured Francis take down defense was worse, had to run 🧠 https://t.co/88jAHojzlL

Jones har ännu inte bokat sin tungviktsdebut men han tros möta segraren mellan mästaren Stipe Miocic och utmanaren Francis Ngannou.
