Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones tweeted live the UFC 259 headline between Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz and hampered the middleweight champion’s attempt to win the second belt.
Blachowicz defeated Adesanya via unanimous decision on Saturday at UFC APEX. But long before the scorecards were announced, Jones dismissed the efforts of his rival Adesanya on Twitter, where he repeatedly struggled with “The Last Stylebender” last year.
Adesanya had talked about a confrontation with Jones by the end of the year. But “Bones”, who must find the winner of the UFC 260 title rematch between heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou, scoffed at the idea after UFC 259 ended.
Here’s what Jones had to say about the fight as it unfolded.
I can’t wait to make this bitch swallow your words

Yeah, never mind, it’s not even worth my time

Good job, Jan, two minutes to go, but Izzy is down, great win. Definitely did not expect surprises

If you ever wrote to me talking shit about Izzy hitting me, slap yourself
