Den forne lätta-tungviktsmästaren Jon Jones gick sin senaste match mot Daniel Cormier under UFC 214. En match han vann genom knockout i rond tre, men matchen omvandlades till ett så kallat no-contest efter att Jones testat positivt för steroiden turinabol. Kontrovers är inget nytt för Jones som under sin MMA-karriär och utanför buren gjort det mesta. Allt från ögonpetningar i buren, smitningsolyckor till droger.
Någon som riktat skarp kritik åt Jones är den forne UFC-fightern Tyson Griffin som genom Twitter började med att likna Conor McGregors senaste bravader med Jon Jones.
Well there goes @TheNotoriousMMA lossing his @BurgerKing deal faster than @JonnyBones lost his @Nike deal!! Or did he?? More?more problems ??

Jon Jones var inte sen med att svara Griffin och de båda verkar inte ha ett gott öga för varandra.
@TysonGriffin my dream was to be sponsored by Nike as a high school wrestler, became an adult and made it happen. Even had my own sneaker which sold out within a day.

@TysonGriffin What ever happened with your Nike deal, I don’t remember. I’ll wait…
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) April 7, 2018
@TysonGriffin You can tell by the tone of your tweet that you’re happy Connor may be losing his deal. Disguise yourself as an MMA coach or a MMA personality, I just see a bitter bitch who’s the size of my dick

The last part was more for me, just proud of myself. Thought it flowed nicely

Tweet-stormen verkar bara varit början. Nu kan Griffin avslöja en privat konversation mellan de båda, men Jones var inte sen med att svara den tidigare UFC-fightern.
I may have took a jab @TheNotoriousMMA during his rampage but just like that man tried to steal the spotlight @JonnyBones is trying to make this all about him and apparently it’s too soon to joke about his nike deal.

2 years ago I kept this private because I almost felt bad for @JonnyBones but now I’ll just let you all judge for yourselves. pic.twitter.com/s4eZfv8M25

Thanks for the hate aka love @JonnyBones we are all one my brother. Just keep trying to be a better role model and focus on being a “Great Champion” No one is perfect but winning and money isn’t everything. You have taught me that ???
— Tyson Griffin (@TysonGriffin) April 10, 2018
Varpå Jones svarade.
@TysonGriffin It’s hilarious that you reposted our private messages, I meant every word I said. At first I thought your hatred was DC related but now I’m starting to think you are just an envious little bastard.
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) April 10, 2018
@TysonGriffin At the end of the day, I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty fun shitting on you. Just because I’m the bigger man doesn’t mean I have to sit back be quiet and listen to your cyber attack.
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) April 10, 2018
@TysonGriffin hope this has gained you a few more followers. I’m sure you were reply to my last message. Be quiet for a while and come out with more hatred in a few more months. It’s your pattern. You’re cute, my little pet ?
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) April 10, 2018
@TysonGriffin last thing, don’t call me brother. My brothers are over 6 feet and champions… Hitting me with that soft shit after getting verbally body bagged. Stop throwing tomatoes from the sidelines bro, you’re whack

Den forne lätta-tungviktsmästaren, Jon Jones, har fått sin första dom utdelad av Kaliforniens idrottskommitté, CSAC. Han fick böta 1,6 miljoner kronor samt att han fick sin matchlicens indragen. Jon Jones yttrade sig och sade genom Twitter att han uppskattar att han fick chansen att försvara sig och var även tacksam över Andy Foster uttalande, (ordförande CSAC) som personligen inte tror att Jon Jones tagit steroiden, turinabol, medvetet.
