Ahead of his UFC 247 light heavyweight title defense, Jon Jones has kept relatively quiet when it comes to opponent Dominick Reyes. There have been a few minor verbal battles, but nothing close to what his usual opponents face. Following some Reyes comments that he didn’t likethough, Jones took to social media to unleash a salvo of trash talk against his next challenger.
It started when Reyes stated that Jones has never fought an athlete like him. That got Jon hot:
“He’s fought wrestlers he’s fought strikers but never athletes“ -DR
probably the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) February 3, 2020Jones then responded to a fan, pointing out the athletic accomplishments of many of his prior opponents, including Daniel Cormier, Ovince Saint Preux, Ryan Bader, and Vitor Belfort among others:
DC competed in the NCAA finals and in the Olympics, OSP played Division I football, Bader the current double Champ of Bellator, Vitor crazy speed and explosive, Lyoto had been striking since age 5, Glover was on a 20 fight win streak but none of those guys are athletes I guess u2642ufe0f https://t.
