Jon Jones responded to a former UFC star who spoke to his pound-for-pounds.
The biggest hunter in the MMA history has recently been taken over as the best active UFC champion.
Islam Makhachev has held the pound-for-pound upper spot for a large part of its historic lightweight title run.
The apparent restraint of Jon Jones to unite the heavyweight division in a fight with interim champion Tom Aspinall has led to widespread diving feases and has damaged his claim that he is still the best hunter in the schedule of Dana White.

Jon Jones humiliated by the praise of former hunter
On Thursday Jones shared a video of former UFC star David Loiseau on his Instagram story.
It showed the 23-11 MMA veteran who spoke about the current pound-for-pound best UFC hunter.
'The Crow' has published a passionate defense of Jones in the midst of claiming that he is avoiding a scrap with Aspinall.
“Jon Jones. Jon 'Bones' Jones. He is the number one man, who went up from light heavyweight to heavyweight, won the belt,” Loiseau said.
“Now people are talking like:” Oh, he dives Tom Aspinall. “Jon Jones behaves the way he should behave. As a king! Looking at these farmers those title shots.
“Jon Jones does what he wants, he doesn't dive anyone than Tom Aspinall at boxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu, striking, knees, kicking, whatever. They play Ping Ping Pong, Jon Jones is going to win. She's playing Domino's, when they play Uno, he's going to win? Jones!
“Dana White is wrong, Jon Jones is not number one. He is number one, two, three, four and five!”
Jones responded by saying: “Renewed by your compliment and love your energy as always. Stay.”
Tom Aspinall claims that Jon Jones 'holds the audience'
Aspinall clearly made his feelings about Jones by pulling a rubber duck from UFC London.
On Tuesday, Logan Paul released a podcast with Aspinall, who accused Jones of 'the public' in the midst of long -term negotiations about their unification, which Dana White claims that it was 'done' but not enough to officially announce.
“Jon turns on the audience,” he said. 'Listen, I do not dispute that he is a great hunter.
'I think the fact he didn't want to fight [Francis] Ngannou for three years, and now he doesn't want to fight me for more than a year, and he is exactly the way he manipulates the media and the audience is super smart. I don't want to take anything from him.
“But do I think he is afraid of doing the heavy fighting at this stage in his career? Absolutely. I can [understand it]I respect it. But if you are going to ask me the successive question: “Is Jon Jones afraid of fighting me?” The honest answer would be 'yes'. “
