"Don't call me out until you defend your belt at least twice" - Jon Jones rubs it in after Jan Blachowicz's title loss at UFC 267
Jon Jones recently fired shots at Jan Blachowicz on social media.
'Bones' took to Twitter to address Blachowicz's recent loss to Glover Teixeira at UFC 267. Jon Jones stated that fighters should refrain from calling him out.
He said:
"New rule, don’t call me out until you defend your belt at least twice. I’m getting sick of this shit. Everybody talking about what they’re going to do, can’t even beat the other contenders."
Jan Blachowicz failed to defend his light heavyweight title against Glover Teixeira at UFC 267. Teixeira submitted the Polish power-puncher via submission (rear-naked choke) in the second round.
He became the second-oldest champion in UFC history at 42 years of age. Teixeira is only behind Randy Couture, who embraced UFC gold aged 43.
Jon Jones had a few more words for Blachowicz, saying that the former titleholder underestimated Glover Teixeira. He said:
"See what happens when you're talking sh*t, not focusing on the opponent right in front of you. Another one bites the dust."
Jan Blachowicz first called out Jon Jones after his first-round knockout victory against Corey Anderson. Since then, the two former light heavyweight champions have constantly gone back and forth on social media. The Pole also called Jones out after his win over Dominick Reyes at UFC 253.
