Jon Jones on UFC 239 performance: ‘It doesn’t feel good to be booed’

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones lost on one of the judge’s scorecards for the first time on Saturday at UFC 239 against Thiago Santos. Many weren’t impressed with his performance, and fans in attendance made sure to let him know through the boos during his Octagon interview with Joe Rogan.

During his post-fight media scrum, “Bones” admitted that the crowd’s reaction got to him. But at the same time, he defended the strategy he employed.

“It doesn’t feel good to be booed, but not many people know what it feels like to be in there,” Jones said (via MMA Fighting).
