The social media war of words between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou doesn’t look like it’s anywhere close to done. A new wave of heat has taken over the internet as the two fighters exchanged shots.

Since last week, the two fighters have been at war over social media. Just as it seemed to die down, Ngannou reignited the entire feud. He posted a tweet in which he tagged Jon Jones asking a very simple question, “Hello Jonny are you still there?”

It took a while for Jon Jones to respond, but he fired back. He posted the same picture and said, “First you can save the rest of your tongue pictures for your other homies, and yes I’m right here, just waking up from watching that Derek Lewis fight again. You ain’t scaring nobody, I saw your heart. You’re a big old mouse, I’ll expose you.

This was a shot at Francis Ngannou’s lackluster performance at UFC 226. He lost to Derrick Lewis in a fight that was considered boring overall, and he in particular, was a dud. But since then, Ngannou won 4 fights in a row and regained his top contender status.

He captioned the post “Watched some tapes too,” and added in a screenshot of Jon Jones running away from Dominick Reyes.
