For those of you unfamiliar with the story, Parry and Jones allegedly got into a bit of a dust-up with one another a few years back. Parry was a training partner for Daniel Cormier before “DC’s” bout with Jones, and was in attendance for a press conference as part of Cormier’s team.

Jones was apparently in a bad mood backstage lashing out at several people, and turned to Parry for some remarks as well. Things allegedly got heated and security had to separate things. Parry claims Jones, along with his NFL star brothers, and an entourage later surrounded him when he was alone backstage. For the full story, according to Parry, check it out here.

Do you think Parry will be able to work his way up to a fight with Jones?

Chi Lewis-Parry has opened up on his beef with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. 

There have been some issues between the two fighters. Most notably, Lewis-Parry confronted Jones at the Bodypower UK 2019 event while Jones was making an appearance. This led to Lewis-Parry firing off some insults at the UFC champion.

Jones made insults towards him as well in response. This eventually led to him offering the challenge to Jones to take part in a street fight. Lewis-Parry has given his side of the story while talking to The Body Lock’s John Kyon Ko:

“Alright, here’s the story. You’re getting an exclusive. We were at a press conference when DC was supposed to fight Jon the second time at the MGM? We were backstage. So prior to that, DC and Jon had done an interview. I had never met Jon, I had no reason to speak to him. I was part of DC’s team. I had no ill feeling towards him.

“I was just a training partner for DC. I had nothing to say. They finished the interview. I was like ‘do you know what? He seems like quite a decent guy.’ Until we got outside the building. Then he turned into this yapping guy that can’t get into the club. Talking all this shit to the security guard, that kind of guy, you know? And he’s attacking everybody. He’s picking everybody out.

“Rosendo was there, Bob Cook was there. He’s just talking, talking, talking. And DC and him are having a back-and-forth which is part of the fun, the entertainment. But that’s between them. I’m not going to start talking shit to a guy I don’t know. Then he turns to me and he starts talking shit about me.

“I was just like ‘why are you even talking to me? Why are we even having a conversation?’ And it got a little bit heated, security came.”

Lewis-Parry helped prepare former UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier back in 2016 to fight Jones at the UFC 200 pay-per-view (PPV) event. The fight would later be scrapped and Cormier fought Anderson Silva instead. 

Jones makes his next title defense as UFC light heavyweight champion against Thiago Santos in the main event of UFC 239.
