Jon Jones, Alexander Gustafsson Trade Twitter Haymakers
Jon Jones, Alexander Gustafsson Trade Twitter Haymakers
Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson threw their gloves off and got to tweetin' Wednesday--and it was awesome.
Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson don't like each other.
That's clear after last night's Twitter battle featuring the two UFC light heavyweights. Fans of the sport certainly remember their historic battle at UFC 165, where Jones retained his title via decision in what is still his closest scrap to date.
Now, almost four years after that September 2013 showdown, Jones and Gustafsson are back at it, and they're picking right up where they left off in giving us some quality tradin'.
It all started with a reaction to Gustafsson's recent statement that he wants current light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier to defeat Jones at July 29's UFC 214 card. Gustafsson's reason? Jones is a "bad person."

Then things just kept on rollin'.

"You think I'm just going to sit here and let you roast me, Jon?"
"The Mauler" fired back, unleashing the coveted "USADA" card upon the pound-for-pound great. That's like playing dynamite in rock, paper, scissors, y'all.

Gustafsson also took a moment to respond to Jones' request for prayers.
