Former UFC champions Miesha Tate and Jon Jones continue to go on a little back-and-forth on Twitter after a previous exchange of comments regarding Jones’ CSAC hearing.

Jon Jones’ PED episodes in the UFC have drawn frustration from observers. Most recently, former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate expressed her disappointment towards Jones, who recently had his California fighting license revoked for a year, along with a $205,000 fine for testing positive for Turinabol at UFC 214 last July.

“I don’t want to hear his sob story,” Tate said of Jones in a recent edition of MMA on SiriusXM. “I felt sorry for the first, second time he kind of had me. But it’s like, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, I mean, come on, am I waiting for a fourth now? I just don’t — I’m over it.”

It did not take long for Jones to respond to Tate, whom he indirectly referred to as a “quitter”. Of course, these comments did not sit well with “Cupcake”, who then issued her reply.

Jones responded to Tate shortly after, where he seemingly admitted that he was in the wrong.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion has yet to undergo arbitration with USADA, where he is facing a possible four-year suspension.
