“Stop Tweeting and Start Fighting” – Michael Bisping Has a Stern Message for Jon Jones After UFC 270

After Jon Jones gave up his light heavyweight title to move up to the heavyweight division, everyone is keen about his return. His last UFC fight was back in early 2020. Since then, he has been missing from the ring for so long. His fans are curious to know when he will return.

UFC 270 was a crucial event for the heavyweight division. Francis Ngannou successfully defended his title against Ciryl Gane. While Jones didn’t attend the event, he surely had his eye on the bout. He wrote several tweets following Ngannou’s spectacular win. However, analyst Michael Bisping was not too happy with his tweets.

Speaking about Jones’ tweets, Bisping was of the opinion that the fighter should (h/t MMA Fighting), “Stop tweeting and start fighting”.

He further said, “It’s been a while since he’s been in the octagon. It’s all well and good, sitting there and putting them down and referring to himself as daddy, which he very well may be.”

“He could go in there and embarrass everybody in the heavyweight division. But we don’t know that, and until you’re man enough to step in there and do that, you can’t sit there and disregard and kind of mock what just took place tonight.”

ESPN’s Michael Eaves was of a similar opinion. He felt that instead of talking about how great of a fighter he was, Jones should prove it through his action. Eaves said, “Don’t talk about it, be about it. Let’s go Jon. Get your life together so we can see the fight that so many fans [want to see].”

When will Jon Jones return?

‘Bones‘ was targeting 2022 to return as a heavyweight. He frequently shares his training videos on social media. Thus, it looks like he could have a smashing return this year. However, Dana White is not too sure about this. The UFC President is unsure about what the fighter wants to do next.

Ngannou and Gane have expressed their desire to fight Jones. He aspires to win the heavyweight title and hence, a fight against the champion would be a huge one. Further, after Ngannou showcased great wrestling skills at UFC 270, a bout with one of the biggest names in UFC would be extremely exciting.
