Jon Jones knocked out Alexander Gustafson in the third round of the main fight of UFC 232, last Saturday (29). With the victory, the fighter regained the UFC light heavyweight belt. After the fight, the athlete was interviewed by commentators from the North American channel Fox Sports, including the former middleweight champion, Michael Bisping. 'Count' asked some questions that 'Bones' didn't like.

On his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping said Jones allegedly offended him after the cameras were turned off. Jon was irritated by the questions asked by the former fighter during the interview.
“I don't mind asking difficult questions and I asked a few questions of Jon Jones, who apparently didn't like it because after the fight we interviewed him again and when we were on the commercial break he was talking shit. He [said], 'He IS the son of a bitch. Michael Bisping that you're going to be asking questions again, with your stupid s*** talk?'” said Bisping.
Jones would have been uncomfortable answering about the new doping case before UFC 232. Bisping would have asked 'Bones' about what would happen if he was caught again after the fight against the Swede.
"So I said, 'Jon, was there any discussion about what happens if you test positive after the fight?' – Because I will tell you, if I am Alexander Gustafson and you beat me in the third round, but the son of a bitch tests positive. I don't care how many little pinches of salt were found in an Olympic-size swimming pool. I would like this (fight result) to be changed to a 'no contest'. He (Jones) replied, 'Well, you know, I'm looking forward to this fight, this fight is going to be great and blah blah blah' – he just totally ignored the question. You could see he wasn't happy,” concluded Michael.
