Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson are still taking shots at each other on social media.
Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson have been trading barbs on social media as of late. It has come to a point that the controversial former champion even sided with his longtime rival in Daniel Cormier for a bit just to take a shot at Gustafsson.
That twitter exchange continued, with the Swede taking a shot at Jones for his multiple failed drug tests.

Jones didn’t let this one go and had multiple replies to his former opponent:
Brilliant come back, just what I expected from you. I guess shogun, rampage, Bader etc. could all use the same excuse now too. Do you look yourself in the mirror and call yourself champ now that “I cheated”

Please tell me you convinced yourself that I was on steroids during our fight please tell me you convinced yourself I was ever on steroids

The only “good stuff” I used to send you packing was my big old American balls. Try spending a little more time here, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two

Jones and Gustafsson fought back in 2013, with “Bones” winning a close decision over the Swede. A lot has happened in the five years since, with Jones being stripped of his light heavyweight title thrice — once because of legal troubles outside the cage, and twice for drug test failures.
Gustafsson is currently on a two-fight winning streak, and has gone 3-2 since his bout with Jones, dropping bouts to Cormier and Anthony Johnson.
