Well, it’s very diplomatic of Jon Jones to end on a hashtag of Respect. Let’s see what Rampage does with that. So far, there’s been no response on his Twitter. But we think it’s awfully coincidental that Bellator Ring Girl, Jade Bryce tweeted this pic of herself in a wolf’s disguise today. She’d be pretty unsuspecting. Very clever move, Kawa.
