Jon Jones He has dominated the UFC's light heavyweight division since March 2011 and has already accumulated six title defenses. Despite not yet finding opponents within the division, the North American revealed that he is bothered by the way his challengers are selected by Ultimate.
For Jones, the Brazilian Glover Teixeira, who qualified as the next title challenger by beating Ryan bader, the path was made easier. According to him, Bader could not accredit a fighter to the position of challenger in the category. Furthermore, the champion believes that Alexander Gustafsson, Jon's last opponent in the Octagon, would also have an easy time in a duel against Rogério Minotouro – the fight ended up being postponed due to an injury suffered by the Brazilian – already looking at a possible rematch.
“I want to see Gustafsson fight against a high-level contender. It seems to me that these fighters aren't really getting past other tough guys to get to the title. Glover arrived after a win against Ryan bader. Gustafsson after beating Shogun. I feel like they're giving these guys easy fights so they can easily come and fight me for the title. I wanted to see the top contenders fight each other”, he declared Jon Jones.
Despite the criticism, Jones reached the position of title challenger by defeating Ryan bader, at UFC 126, and take the belt from Mauricio Shogun, no. 128, both events held in the first quarter of 2011.

Will fight Gustavson again
And the worst part is that he is actually telling the truth!!!
That's why, said the guy who fights Barder before catching the weak shogun. gustavao
and he is right!!!
And which “Top Contender” did he fight before fighting for the belt? Brandon Vera? Ryan Bader? Short memory huh Jones?
hehe, what's worse is that he hadn't caught any top guys until he fought Shogun for the belt. Because that's fear, you want to avoid difficult opponents like Glover, or Gustafson again...
He also had an easy time getting to the belt. He's scared, give up the belt and get out.
jon jones has to keep quiet and fight!!! It doesn't matter what your opponent fought with previously!
Are you scared??? Jon Jones. Go take a dick from Glover, lol
Are you scared??? Jon Jones!!! Gonna take a dick from Glover, hahaha
Ha, maybe he forgot that it was after a fight against Ryan Bader himself that he got the chance to fight for the belt against Shogun.
For me, Jon Jones is the guy, but if you look at his past, you can see that he also had an easier path.
HE’S REASONABLE……..TODAY HE HAS BELFORT AND CLOUVER……….
ARE YOU AFRAID TO FIGHT GLOVER?
HE TOOK A DICK FROM GUSTAFSON AND GOT A DEFORMED BABY'S FACE.
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE A MIGHTY ONE, MOVE UP THE CATEGORY AND CHALLENGE CAIM VELAQUES
I wanted to see him catch Minota during the Pride season.. I would see shit
hmmm... this type of comment is typical of those who start to worry about a possible defeat... what sense does it make for a legitimate and confident champion to raise suspicions about who is going to fight him? What other answer than “I’m sorry” that your “golden bottle” is going to be stolen??
It looked ugly on tape, huh “Bones”? It would be cooler, for those who believe that you are the top-top of the moment, if you accepted whoever challenged you and simply “dismantled” them in the cage, instead of making these “mummunes”…
He told the truth, HOWEVER, Jon Jones himself won the title shot against Shogun by defeating Ryan Bader, does he remember that? Or does it only bother you when others have the chance? If Glover doesn't win, Cormier wins, I'm betting on that
