Call it a case of mistaken identity, but Quinton Jackson believes Jon Jones and his camp are responsible for spying on his training while in preparation for UFC 135.
The two competitors have gone back-and-forth at each other for a few weeks, but Jackson’s alleged comments regarding Jones might have just lit the fuse to a more personal level.
Jackson discussed the situation in further detail with Yahoo Sports, and said he had the same problem with Jones’ camp when he fought Rashad Evans at UFC 114.
“I’m on Twitter, I’m talking to my fans and one guy just mentions that I have a spy in camp,” Jackson said.
“One day I did a certain technique, I was working on some stuff, working on elbows, and Jon Jones tweeted that same day ‘Oh I haven’t worked on elbows this whole time in camp, I better get on that’.”
Whether this story is just a coincidence, or plain weird, is anybody’s guess. With his lack of motivation as of late, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Jackson motivate himself over false accusations to help himself remain focused.
Regardless of how credible the facts are, the story sets up some interesting dialogue from Jackson and will help promote the fight scheduled for September 24th.
