Jon Jones did not ignore the recent statements of Alexander Gustafson, who revealed his support for Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 and called the former light heavyweight champion a bad person. Through a social network, 'Bones' made fun of the fact that his rival had been defeated both times he competed for the category belt.

“Am I not a champion because I’m a bad person? So, you're not a champion because you don't win fights that are worth the title. And you didn’t beat Cormier or me not because you lacked gas, but because you lacked “heart”. Of course you're rooting for Cormier. Take advantage and pray for him while he's cheering. I'm not a champion because you don't like my personality? So f… you! “Jon Jones is a bad person”, you sound like an idiot saying that. By the way, congratulations on your engagement. She is a beautiful woman,” Jones wrote.

In a tone of irony, the Swede responded to 'Bones' statements.

“I’m going to root for Cormier, but I want you to win. And after I hit you, I promise I will pray for you. Happy now?” replied Gustafsson to Jon Jones.

Jon Jones e Alexander Gustafson they faced each other at UFC 165, in September 2013. On that occasion, Jones won by unanimous decision after five even rounds, in a fight considered the most difficult of the former champion's career.
