Jon Jones News

Tom Taylor - November 17, 2020

Daniel Cormier isn’t impressed by how Jon Jones comported himself after Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Heading into that card, Jones and Nurmagomedov had long stood out as the top two pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC, with Jones holding the No. 1 spot in the rankings and Nurmagomedov sitting at No. 2. After Nurmagomedov defeated Gaethje by submission in the UFC 254 main event, however, he was promoted to the No. 1 spot—and Jones was not happy about that.

Former UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones has sent a clear message to rival Israel Adesanya regarding a potential showdown between the two. While both men may seem to be heading in different directions right now, it seems like just a matter of time before two of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s true greats square off inside the Octagon.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones says he doesn’t care Israel Adesanya is fighting Jan Blachowicz for his old belt next. Jones vacated the 205lbs belt back in the summer with the intention of moving up a weight class to heavyweight. So far, he hasn’t made the move up in weight official as his next fight hasn’t been announced yet. While Jones remains on the sidelines, one of his biggest rivals in the game in Israel Adesanya is poised to move up to 205lbs to take on the new champion Jan Blachowicz in 2021. But Jones doesn’t care what either of them does.

Jon Jones has continued to trash his longtime rival, Daniel Cormier. For years now, Jones and Cormier have had a feud. They first fight at UFC 182 with Jones winning by decision. They then had their rematch at UFC 214 with “Bones” winning by KO, however, the fight was overturned to a no-contest due to him being flagged by USADA.

Daniel Cormier believes former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is ineligible for consideration in the GOAT debate in MMA. Cormier, who previously ruled over the UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, has fought Jones twice. In their first fight, Cormier lost by decision. In the second, he was knocked out, but the result was overturned when Jones tested positive for Turinabol, an anabolic steroid.

Mike Winkeljohn, one of the coaches behind Jon Jones, says he’s “amazed” by UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Winkeljohn has served as one of Jones’ head coaches for many years, and could soon be tasked with preparing the MMA legend for a fight with Adesanya.

Tom Taylor - November 9, 2020

Mike Winkeljohn, one of the masterminds behind Jon Jones, recently explained why Jon Jones is well prepared for a potential fight with Israel Adesanya. Jones ruled over the UFC light heavyweight for many years until he vacated the title earlier in 2020 with plans to move up to the heavyweight division. In the final chapters of his light heavyweight title reign, he was frequently linked to a showdown with striking whiz Israel Adesanya, who now rules over the UFC middleweight division.

Adam D Martin - November 7, 2020

UFC legend Jon Jones has reacted to the news that Israel Adesanya will be moving up to light heavyweight to challenge Jan Blachowicz. Following UFC Vegas 12, Dana White had announced that Adesanya would be moving up in weight to take on Blachowicz in 2021 and attempt to become a two-division champion. Adesanya is already the UFC’s middleweight champion and he will be looking to join the exclusive club of two-weight champs in UFC history. Of course, the timing here is interesting as Adesanya announced his move up in weight only after Jones left the 205lbs division.

Israel Adesanya is open to fighting Jon Jones at light heavyweight and heavyweight. Adesanya and Jones have had a feud for quite some time and many figured Adesanya would move up to challenge “Bones” for his light heavyweight title. However, that is not the case as Jones vacated and now “The Last Stylebender” will face Jan Blachowicz for the light heavyweight title in 2021.

Long-time UFC color commentator Joe Rogan has weighed in on the Greatest of All Time debate in mixed martial arts. Rogan discussed this topic on the latest episode of the JRE MMA Show with guest Luke Thomas. From the sounds of it, he still considers former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones the greatest fighter ever.

Harry Kettle - November 5, 2020

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has questioned by his rival Jon Jones is “jealous” of him. The two men have been going back and forth at one another on social media for months now, and while it seemed for a time that they were set to square off sooner rather than later, that no longer appears to be the case with Adesanya moving to light heavyweight and Jones contemplating a jump up to heavyweight.

UFC legend Jon Jones (26-1 MMA) chased off a suspected robber from his property in Albuquerque with a shotgun in hand. The attempted robbery occurred late Saturday evening and should serve as a future warning not to break into the ‘Bones’ residence.

Tom Taylor - October 29, 2020

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is still up in arms after being surpassed by Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings. Jones sat atop the UFC’s pound-for-pound list for many years, but lost his spot this week thanks to Nurmagomedov’s dominant defeat of Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 254 last Saturday.

Adam Martin - October 28, 2020

UFC legend Randy Couture says that Jon Jones winning the heavyweight title “erases any argument” about his status in the GOAT discussion. Couture is one of the all-time greats himself. The UFC Hall of Famer, who is now age 57 and retired, is universally regarded as one of the top-10 pound-for-pound fighters of all time. He was a six-time UFC champion who won titles at both light heavyweight and heavyweight. As time has gone on, Couture’s name has slipped a bit in the P4P rankings. At one point, he was in the discussion for No. 1, but now it’s fair to say he’s top-10.

Georges St-Pierre has offered up his thoughts on the ever-present debate regarding who the GOAT of mixed martial arts really is. St-Pierre, who last fought back in November 2017, has been a man in demand over the course of the last few days in the wake of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement. Many fans and pundits alike were hoping that St-Pierre would go head to head with Nurmagomedov somewhere down the road, but now, it doesn’t appear as if it’s ever likely to happen.

Adam Martin - October 27, 2020

UFC legend Jon Jones reacted to the new UFC rankings, calling them “number one bullsh*t” after falling below Khabib Nurmagomedov at P4P. Jones was the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter for a long time before Nurmagomedov finally took over the spot following his second-round submission over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Jones has now fallen to second in the P4P rankings, and he’s not happy about the movement, as he believes he’s done more than enough to earn his spot at the top.

Cole Shelton - October 26, 2020

Jon Jones says there is no way Khabib Nurmagomedov can be considered the GOAT of MMA. After Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje by second-round submission to defend his lightweight title at UFC 254, he announced his retirement from the sport. He rode off into the sunset at 29-0 and many are now putting him in the conversation as the greatest ever. However, longtime UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, isn’t having any of that.
