After his recent UFC pension, Jon Jones continued to go back to his critics.
A few weeks ago the long saga with UFC Heavyweight Champion Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall finally ended when Jones officially retired from the sport.
Although Jones's pension should have been a party for what an incredible career has been, the majority of fans hijacked his pension post in a final opportunity to troll him for 'diving' Aspinall.
Not long after his official exit from the sport, 'Bones' caused concern among the fans after a storm of strange messages on his social media.

Jones Bijt Back at Demetrious Johnson for Geitdebat
Immediately after the retirement of Jones, genuine tribute flowed from some of the greatest hunters of all time, including recognition from Anderson Silva and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
One hunter who did not support Jones in his retirement was former UFC Flyweight Champion, Demetrious Johnson.
After declaring his confusion with Jones who did not fought against Aspinall, Johnson recently doubled that he does not consider Jones as the greatest hunter of all time.
“I have always defended Jon Jones,” Johnson began to explain to the Ariel Helwani show.
“I really believe he is one of the best to do it ever … But when I sit there and dissected his career, from the very first time he came to the whole thing in the UFC and when you go through it … How are you saying that Jones is one of the best of all time when he has failed a drug test.
“We can have two mountains, a mountain of Just Clean Motherf—— I, (Georges St-Pierre), Khabib Nurmagomedov, and then you can have one of the hunters who have failed drug tests … it is what it is.
“These are legitimate facts. I have never failed a drug test, Khabib has never failed a drug test, GSP has never failed a drug test … We have never stripped,” Johnson continued.

Even during his career, Jones was one of the most pronounced hunters in the sport, and even now retired, the 37-year-old continued to spray back to his critics.
“Some of these podcasts think the mma fanbase is stupid. You throw the right words around Like steroids or failed drug tests, and expect no one to actually do their homework. It's really an insult to the listener, the never -loves, theor's of theor's, theor's of theor's, theor's the Aren't Even Allowed to Step Foot Into A UFC Event, “Jones Said in a Post on X.
Some of these podcasts think that the MMA fan base is stupid. You throw the right words like steroids or failed drug tests, and you expect no one to actually do their homework. It is really an insult to the listener, the drug test agencies, the UFC, the committee. No wonder why …

Despite his retirement, the 37-year-old did not exclude a potential comeback to the sport at one point and he will probably increase his work as a co-owner of Dirty Boxing.
