‘Chaos’ has angered a bunch of his UFC colleagues by stepping over the line with trash talk.
Jon Jones hates him so much he refused to speak his name when asked to name the UFC’s most overrated fighter.
“Overrated UFC fighter? That’s funny,” he said.
“I could say his name but it’s really just because I don’t like him.
“Saying his name gives him clout, which I also don’t wanna do.
“His initials are ‘CC’, and he’s a total d——–.
“If you watch the sport, I think people will know who I’m talking about.”
What’s next for Jon Jones?Fans have grown tired of waiting for Jon Jones to agree to fight Tom Aspinall.
A petition calling for him to be stripped of his heavyweight title has surpassed 100,000 signatures.
Jones teased fights away from UFC during the latest update on his stagnating combat sports career.
“You know, I don’t know what life holds as far as fighting and competing,” he added.
“I do feel like I will be a lifelong martial artist, whether I’m coaching others or taking exhibition matches.
“There’s a lot of great competition in the UFC, [but] I do view myself as more than a fighter. Being in my position, I feel like I have a lot more options than a lot of the other fighters as far as the ability to leave and return, and things like that.”
