Early Morning Report: Sean Strickland blasts ‘mockery’ Jon Jones, welcomes Stipe Miocic to train in preparation

Sean Strickland is no fan of Jon Jones

Previously this month, UFC 285 saw a much heavier returning “Bones” Jones enter the octagon for the very first time in simply over 3 years. A first-round guillotine choke submission rapidly spelled completion for the top-ranked competitor Ciryl Gane, leading to Jones’ crowning as the brand-new heavyweight champ. Inside the cage, Jones has actually developed himself as an indisputable skill. Outdoors, nevertheless, there are a number of occurrences that have actually left fans and fighters alike sour on the mixed martial arts legend.

Jones has actually handled to avoid of problem because September 2021 when he was associated with a declared domestic violence event including his veteran bride-to-be Jesse Moses in Las Vegas. The charges were dropped later on that year, however Jones’ prolonged checkered history still clouds his achievement for the middleweight competitor Strickland.

” I ensure Jon Jones’ other half installed a larger battle than Ciryl Gane,” Strickland informed Helen Yee “That male came out terrified, he didn’t wish to f exist.

” Let me state something about f Jon Jones. Biggest fighter on the planet, however Jon Jones draws, you people. He’s stopped working the most drug tests, he f beat his other half bloody, he struck a pregnant woman and repelled breaking her arms. My thing is, yes, you might have been the biggest fighter, however with how numerous drug tests you stopped working, it’s not. Jon Jones ought to never ever be enabled to combat in the UFC once again. It’s a mockery that they let him battle.

” Stipe [Miocic], brother, please, guy. Do it for me,” he continued. “Stipe, if you wish to train, come here, I’ll be your punching bag, we can combat every day. Whatever the f you require, Stipe. I’m your guy. Come train with me. Concern Xtreme Couture. I f got you. I’ll battle you all day, guy. All day.”

Entering Into UFC 285, Jones made it clear he ‘d like 2 particular battles prior to he was done completing expertly: Gane and previous champ Miocic. With the promo flying Miocic out to sit cageside at the occasion and all celebrations are interested. The match is intended to pertain to fulfillment in July at UFC 290 throughout International Battle Week. Whatever the 40- year-old Miocic’s next battle winds up being, it will be his very first considering that losing the title in his March 2021 rematch with Francis Ngannou

When it comes to the always-outspoken Strickland, “Tarzan” has actually been yearning for a coupling with Brazilian bruiser Paulo Costa because beating Nassourdine Imavov in January. The one-time title opposition Costa was expected to eliminate as just recently as UFC 284 last month versus Robert Whittaker, however agreement settlements liquified the bout. Without any schedule to share, Strickland now discovers himself getting deals for the rising brand-new competitor Dricus Du Plessis rather.

” Paulo Costa is the Dillon Danis of UFC,” Strickland stated. “The person do not f battle. The minute he stated that I struck my men up and I resembled, ‘Hey, is this legit?’ They struck up UFC and they stated that he’s simply f with you, he has no objective of combating, he remains in an agreement settlement. Whatever Costa states is complete of s . He has no objective to eliminate, he’s the f Dillon Danis of Mixed Martial Arts. He’s a joke at this moment.”

I imply, Strickland basically highlighted the point I made just recently about Jones. He’s the indisputable G.O.A.T. at this moment … if you do not care about the PED asterisks. If so then it’s Georges St-Pierre. That’s all to discuss any longer.
