Video: Is Jon Jones’ online shade-throwing at Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury unnecessary?

Jon Jones had an interesting week.

The UFC heavyweight champion and former longtime light heavyweight titleholder was plenty active on social media. He threw some shade the way of former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou after Ngannou signed one of the most unique and potentially lucrative deals in MMA history with the PFL.

Then he got into a back-and-forth with boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury that culminated in him issuing a silly challenge.

Jones is waiting a presumed title defense against former champion Stipe Miocic, the man regarded by many as the best heavyweight in UFC history. After that, he has intimated he might retire with a win. So are his online beefs with Ngannou and Fury unnecessary distractions for him?
