Jon Jones is outraged. The current UFC heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg), who has been criticized for avoiding a fight against Tom aspinall, accused Chael Sonnen e Daniel Cormier of 'envy' of his name for the organization's fans.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the American UFC fighter did not hold back on criticizing his former rivals, who have the podcast 'Good Guy/Bad Guy', in which they make videos together.

"Jon Jones defeated them both… why don’t you two get together on a podcast to gossip about his life? In the meantime, he’ll make your annual salary in a week,” wrote ‘Bones’ on his official X account.
The feud with Cormier, now an ESPN commentator and host of the Good Guy/Bad Guy podcast, began in 2014. The fighters got into physical altercations at promotional events before UFC 182, where Jones won by unanimous decision.
The rematch at UFC 214 (2017) ended with a knockout for 'Bones', but the result was overturned due to the champion's positive drug test. Cormier never forgave the personal insults, including mentions of his family.
Even earlier, in 2012, Sonnen agreed to replace Dan Henderson (injured) against Jones at UFC 151, with only 8 days' notice. The then champion refused the fight after advice from his coach, Greg Jackson. The event was canceled — the only one in UFC history to date — and Dana White publicly blamed the athlete.
'Bones' post comes amid criticism for not wanting to accept a fight against Tom aspinall, who is the interim champion and is waiting for a chance. The American, in fact, flirts with retirement and considers leaving the sport.
Jon Jones whooped both of y'all, but hey—why not team up on a podcast and gossip about his life? Meanwhile, he's out here making your annual salary in a week. Stay busy, boys. ♂️
