Jon Jones takes exception with Francis Ngannou, Daniel Cormier during UFC 285 reflection

Jon Jones has taken a few days to process his successful heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane this past Saturday at UFC 285.

While Jones has never been shy about sharing his feelings on Twitter, he largely remained absent on social media in the three days that followed his first-round submission to claim the vacant heavyweight title at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

On Thursday, however, that changed. After he tweeted a thank you message to his supporters, Jones answered a handful of comments posted by users pertaining to various topics, including his experience at heavyweight, a future matchup against Francis Ngannou, his old rival Daniel Cormier’s reaction to his win, and more.

See below to find out what Jones had to say on a variety of topics.
