Jon Jones deletes a blunt tweet calling out Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall

Who can dethrone Jon ‘Bones’ Jones? This is one of the most-asked questions in UFC, but we haven’t got the answer yet. Every now and then, a rising UFC fighter enters this conversation, about who fans think can defeat Jones. Recently, it has been Tom Aspinall, who has called out the UFC legend for a fight.

Responding to this in a candid manner, Jones posted a blunt tweet. He boldly asserted that every fighter is hailed as the “next big thing” until he triumphs over them. “Everyone’s the next big thing until I beat them. And then it’s like well. Who was that guy anyways?”

Further, Jones referenced Ciryl Gane, who was pitted against him at UFC 285. However, the UFC heavyweight champ ended the fight in the first round itself. “Just a few months ago, Gane was the absolute future of MMA. Best foot work, fastest heavyweight we have ever seen. The most athletic. Now everyone is like who the hell is that guy,” he said.

Gordon Ryan takes a shot at LeBron James

It is a clear fact that Gordon Ryan doesn’t like LeBron James. Time and again, he has gone out of the way to call out the NBA legend. But recently, things took worse when Ryan decided to speak of James’ family matter.

Recently, LeBron James’ son, Bronny was admitted to the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest. Soon, news surfaced that the young basketball player was out of danger. However, Ryan shared a screenshot of an article that published this story and wrote a message that did not sit well.

“Nothing to see here”, Ryan wrote as he dismissed the news. Unsurprisingly, he got a polarizing response from the fans on this news.

Ben Askren was to run it back against Jorge Masvidal!

The memorable rivalry between Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren might have reignited! Masvidal faced Askren at UFC 239, and secured the fastest KO victory in UFC history with an unforgettable flying knee. 4 years after the fight, these two have once again engaged in back-and-forths.

Recently, after ‘Gamebred’ called him out for a boxing fight, Askren clapped back with an invitation to fight in the octagon. He even posted a screenshot of a message he sent to UFC President Dana White. In the message, Askren demanded a rematch against Masvidal.
