“Jon Jones is So Out of Touch” – Daniel Cormier Criticizes Former Rival for His Recent Tweets

Jon Jones is arguably one of the most talented and dominating fighters in the UFC. After becoming the youngest ever champion, ‘Bones’ established a reign of terror over the light heavyweight division.

Jones’ reign over the division included wins over all-time greats such as Daniel Cormier, Vitor Belfort, Rashad Evans, and many more. 

However, Jones has recently vacated his belt and moved up a weight class to heavyweight. After that, Jan Blachowicz and Dominick Reyes fought for the vacant at UFC 253.

As the event was going on Jones was active on Twitter, giving his thoughts on the fights. ‘Bones’ then put out a tweet that confused fans and pundits alike. 

Jon Jones is ‘out of touch,’ says Daniel Cormier

Ariel Helwani and Daniel Cormier dissected Jones’ recent tweet that said, “Would you guys be annoyed if I went back and grabbed my belt real quick?”

Cormier said, “That’s whack, that’s so whack. Hey, have you ever met a guy that’s so out of touch? Like he’s outta touch. It’s like okay, Jon. Why not just go, ‘Hey! I was afraid of Dominick Reyes?’ But now I want to go back to 205 and fight Jan Blachowicz because he beat Dom.

“Like that’s crazy. Why would he do that? I mean, who does that? Who does that? He could’ve fought Reyes. This could’ve been him and Reyes yesterday. This was supposed to be him and Reyes.

“Then he gave up the belt and said, ‘I wanna fight at heavyweight. But now, maybe I’ll go back?’ How could you be so outta touch? I don’t get it. I don’t get it.”

Though Jon Jones has maintained that he will move to heavyweight, his recent tweet suggests otherwise.

With all the recent tweets and the new challenge at light heavyweight, do you think Jones moves back to 205 pounds? Or will he stick to his plan of moving up in weight?
