Jon Jones raises suspicion among UFC fans with a strange tweet directed at an unnamed person.
On his official Twitter account, the former UFC light heavyweight champion recently urged a fighter to concentrate on his own fights rather than hating on him. However, the name of the fighter was kept a secret by ‘Bones’.

Additionally, he advised the nameless fighter to put in more effort and harbor less animosity, because this will hinder his chances of becoming a champion.
“Focus on your fight this weekend. Tiny, you’ve been rooting against me for years now. I see you. Hating on me won’t propel you into being a champion. Less hate, more work,” Jones wrote.

Jones’ post has whipped up a frenzy among fight fans, and many are speculating on the identity of the unnamed fighter. Some people have even speculated that it may be Kamaru Usman, the welterweight champion, or heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Aljamain Sterling, the bantamweight champion, was also mentioned in the discourse.
what did francis or usman or izzy or aljo say.

Who's this in response to? Blaydes or Gustafsson

Jones withheld the name of the fighter in his post. However, it appears like Curtis Blaydes was the only UFC fighter to make a statement about him this week. Even he will be fighting this weekend. Therefore, it’s possible that ‘Bones’ gave Blaydes his due.
What did Curtis Blaydes say about Jon Jones?
The former light heavyweight champion is eagerly awaiting his heavyweight debut, which might be later this year against Stipe Miocic. When discussing this hypothetical match, Blaydes predicted Miocic will triumph over Jones.

‘Razor’ also admitted that ‘Bones’ lacks a one-punch knockout ability. However, Jones found his remarks to be offensive. He, therefore, responded to Blaydes in his most recent tweet.

Despite Jones’ claim that Blaydes has been cheering against him for a while, the two have never engaged in combat inside the cage. Given their hostility, this fight could happen soon because ‘Bones’ will now compete in the heavyweight division.
‘Razor’, meantime, has his hands full as he prepares to compete against British heavyweight Tom Aspinall this weekend in the main event of UFC Fight Night London.
