‘Dirtiest Fighter’ Jon Jones Get Justified for Illegal Actions by NFL Star and Brother as the UFC Champ Finally Earns Ex-Rival’s Respect

Chandler Jones recently appeared in the famous Jaxxon Podcast and cleared the air on the renowned rivalry between his brother, Jon Jones and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. Jackson was one of the biggest names in the UFC and the former light heavyweight champion of the UFC. In a recent YouTube video, he shares the preparation for his title fight with Jones.

Rampage has always been vocal about Jones being the dirtiest fighter in the MMA and has criticized his fighting style. However, Chandler Jones justifies he doesn’t do that on purpose this time. Let us find out what the former champion says about the current champion.  

Rampage Jackson finally admits to being in the best shape for his fight against Jones 

Jackson and Jones locked horns for the first time at UFC 135. The light heavyweight title was on the lines, and both the fighters were ready to go the distance. However, Jones surprised everyone when he dominated the champion and won the fight via submission in the fourth round. Since then, Jones has been a formidable name in the UFC and is the current heavyweight champion. 

After the fight, Jackson claimed that Jones constantly poked him and even used illegal kicks to hurt his knees. However, in his latest episode, Jackson cleared the air while speaking to Jones’s brother. He said: ” Man, I’m going to tell you about the fight since we own it though. That fight he beat me, the best me ever. Nobody, nobody ever faced me like that. I was in the best shape. Trained up in Denver. Trained there for a couple of, um, months, like two or three months. I was running seven miles where I normally just run three miles. My first time taking supplements every day, and I trained my *ss off it. I was like overly confident I have never lost a fight being in this good shape. I was like, I’m going to destroy this kid, and he kicked the s**t out of me. But I’m going to say this about your brother: I respect him, but he’s the dirtiest fighter in MMA.”

Chandler responded by saying, “He don’t think he does it on purpose, we all fight like that, we all have our hands open.” Jones is currently out of action after he faced an injury while training for his fight at UFC 295. Since then, the 36-year-old has been working hard to return to the Octagon. But there has been a lot of speculation about whom he will be facing next.

Who will Jon Jones face next in his career? 

‘Bones’ was all set to face Stipe Miocic as his first title defense at UFC 295. However, things took a turn when the champion met a severe injury and tore his pectoral muscle in training. During his absence, Tom Aspinall stunned the world when he defeated Sergei Pavlovich and was crowned the interim heavyweight champion. Jones is currently nursing his injury and will make a comeback soon. 

However, seeing who the champion will face next will be interesting. UFC CEO Dana White has been adamant about featuring Stipe Miocic(41) as the main event, as many consider him the greatest heavyweight champion. However, fans believe Aspinall (30) should be the one getting a title shot when Jones makes a return. Who will Jon Jones face next in his career? Let us know in the comments below.
