UFC Star Corey Anderson Labels Jon Jones Fake and Wants Title Shot

UFC light heavyweight contender Corey Anderson has called Jon Jones fake and reiterated his willingness to fight the newly crowned division champion.

Jones, 31, won the light heavyweight belt for a third time when he beat Alexander Gustafsson by TKO at UFC 232 on Saturday. Anderson beat another Swedish fighter, Ilir Latifi, by unanimous decision at the same event but has since told TMZ he feels Jones' religious beliefs in particular are a facade:

"There's a lot about him that's just fake to me. The fact that he keep quoting these bible verses, and he's even got Philippians 4:13—which is one of my favourite verses—tattooed across his chest.
