Jon Jones blasts ‘dork’ Gustafsson: You lack heart and don’t win championship fights
Jon Jones has responded to Alexander Gustafsson, with a tirade on twitter.
Shortly after his KO win in Sweden, Alexander Gustafsson spoke about his former opponent in Jon Jones. He praised the former champion’s skills, but says “he’s not a champion” or “a good person” in his eyes, and would be rooting for Daniel Cormier in their rematch.
Jones has since responded through social media, with a string of tweets that may or may not be deleted soon.
Of course you are rooting for Daniel Gus, you might as well pray for him while you're at it.

And here's a little FYI, you didn't lose against DC and I because of your cardio, it was because your lack of heart.

I'm not a champion because you don't like my personality? Fuck you lol

I'm not a champion cuz I'm a bad person? you're not a champion because you don't win championship fights.

In case Jones pushes through with his usual tweet and delete tactics, his social media posts are as follows:
“Of course you are rooting for Daniel Gus, you might as well pray for him while you're at it.”
“And here's a little FYI, you didn't lose against DC and I because of your cardio, it was because your lack of heart.”
“I'm not a champion because you don't like my personality? F—k you lol”
“"Jon Jones is a bad person" you sound like a f—king dork. Congrats on the engagement though, beautiful woman”
“Maybe good guys don't always finish last.”
“I'm not a champion cuz I'm a bad person? you're not a champion because you don't win championship fights.”
Gustafsson has since replied to his tweets, even taking a dig at Jones’ failed USADA test.

Despite being cancelled and rescheduled numerous times, Jones and Cormier have been booked once again for UFC 214 this July. Jones defeated Gustafsson in a close decision back in 2013.
