Jon Jones reacts to Francis Ngannou’s win over Ciryl Gane in UFC 270 main event

Jon Jones couldn’t resist a tweet-along of the UFC 270 title unifier between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane, and he was not impressed by what he saw.

“At home, chilling,” he wrote, Jones mocked the sometimes-lumbering heavyweight headliner, which ended with a unanimous decision win for Ngannou via scores of 48-47, 48-47 49-46 in the pay-per-view headliner.

Ngannou, a Knockout Artist, showed a fresh twist to his game by outgrappling Gane in five rounds. This was to recover from earlier trouble. But Jones showed little respect for the champ’s evolution, writing, “If this is the Apex of heavyweight fighting, I’m excited about it. Got some more records to break.”

Check out Jones’ tweets.

Jones was originally scheduled to fight Ngannou for Ngannou’s heavyweight title, but a contract dispute halted his career. Jones then vacated the title of light heavyweight and was forced to sit out while Gane won an interim title.

UFC President Dana White repeatedly put the onus of return on Jones, whose financial demands put him at odds with his longtime promoter. Jones focused his efforts on becoming a heavyweight fighter and gained weight as he waited for an undetermined date.

Jones had predicted that he would be making a return to the second quarter of this year, before there were any more legal problems outside of his cage. White expressed doubts about Jones’ future and said he was not certain Jones would win the title unifier.

But Jones said after the fight that the outcome of the meeting with Ngannou and Gane would be one.
