If there's a subject that doesn't interest the light heavyweight champion at all, Jon Jones it is the future of its category, especially with regard to its possible challengers. In recent months, “Bones” has already become upset with fans and journalists after such an issue was raised. This Sunday (23), after the victory of Dan Henderson about Mauritius Shogun at UFC Natal, a follower of Jones at Twitter He asked about the chances of a duel against the veteran and irritated him.
"Wow! That's it, Hendo! The man has concrete in his hands. He's coming after you Jon Jones”, wrote the fan on the microblogging network, tagging Jon Jones, who responded irritably. “Ah, give it a rest, man”, complained the champion. Soon after, perhaps trying to avoid the controversy, Jones deleted the message, but it was recorded by journalist David St. Martin – from the “MMA Fighting” website.
Despite all the fuss surrounding his future opponents, Jon Jones has a much shorter concern: his next title defense, against the Brazilian Glover Teixeira. Jones faces Glover in the main fight of UFC 172, an event that takes place on April 26, in Baltimore (USA). If he passes Teixeira, the champion already has his next opponent defined. This is Swedish Alexander Gustafson, who secured the number one challenger spot by beating Jimi Manuwa in the UFC London.
