Jon Jones, Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, UFC 276

Jon Jones expressed his disappointment with how Israel Adesanya called out Alex Pereira after his win.

This past Saturday, Israel Adesanya took on Jared Cannonier in the headlining bout for UFC 276 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, NV. Adesanya used a cautious approach against the challenger to come out on top of the judges’ scorecards by a unanimous decision.

‘The Last Stylebender’ faced criticism from the community for a non-exciting fight that saw many fans leave the arena halfway through the main event and before the final round.

Jon Jones trashes Israel Adesanya for his callout of Alex Pereira

Adesanya has been feuding with the former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones for a while now. The reigning UFC Middleweight king took a sly dig at Jones during the build-up to his latest fight.

Following Izzy’s successful title defense over Cannonier, he would reference the Disney animated musical family movie Frozen to call out his old foe Alex Pereira, saying, “next time I put you on skates. You’re gonna get frozen like Elsa.”

‘Bones’ hosted a surprise fan Q&A after the event on Twitter. Jones kicked things off by taking aim at Adesanya’s callout first before moving on to other topics.

“Bro I can’t stop thinking about this sh*t. How are you going to threaten a guy like Alex with glossy fingernails and a frozen reference. I’m over here scratching my head.”

Jones is a fan of Alex Pereira

In a follow-up tweet, Jones shared his thoughts on Pereira’s electric knockout of Sean Strickland on the same card just a fight separated from Adesanya’s main event.

“Bro I just went back and watched Alex P fight!! Yeah I’m riding with him all day. He made it look way too easy. Really hard to believe he was unranked before this fight”

Jones further responded to fans asking when he’ll likely return to action and who he wants to fight next.

“I don’t know but I’m glad Dana came out and said something. I’m ready, I’ve been ready. Waiting on a date”

“At this point I’m looking to fight Stipe, I think it proves a lot more. Fighting a fairly one-dimensional fighter fresh off of knee surgery. I don’t know, I believe beating Stipe says more at this point”

Jon Jones is expected to face Stipe Miocic in his comeback fight likely in September or later this year although no official announcements have been made yet.

Sean O'Malley

Sean O’Malley didn’t lose at UFC 276, but unfortunately, he didn’t win either.

In the second round of his main card opener with Pedro Munhoz, O’Malley inadvertently poked the eye of Munhoz bringing a stop to the action. According to Munhoz, he was unable to see and at the suggestion of the cage-side doctor, the fight was called at the 3:09 mark and ruled a no contest.

While Sean O’Malley believes that Munhoz took the easy way out of the fight, it was a run-in with a former UFC champion backstage that had people talking. During the UFC 276 post-fight press conference, O’Malley was asked about words he exchanged with the former two-division champion Henry Cejudo backstage.

“That little fat a** should stay retired,” said O’Malley. “He’s running around drunk in the backstage. Got escorted out. He was tripping over things, running into things. Looks like he’s on drugs. Looks fat. I don’t know, maybe having a midlife crisis.”

Sean O’Malley Dismissed Cejudo’s Backstage Comments

When asked if Cejudo had made comments about fighting him in a ‘tune-up’ fight as speculated, O’Malley confirmed the Olympian said something of the nature but was dismissive. 

“He mumbled some words like that. Is that realistic? Does Henry come back? He looks fat as sh*t. I don’t think, what does he want to fight in three years? I don’t know.” 

Henry Cejudo last competed in the Octagon at UFC 249 when he defeated Dominick Cruz via second-round knockout. Following the bout, Cejudo declared he was retiring from mixed martial arts. Since then, Cejudo has made appearances for All Elite Wrestling and has worked as a commentator for Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Eagle FC.

In April, Cejudo’s manager Ali Abdelaziz announced the fighter would re-enter the USADA testing pool in an interview with ESPN

“Henry will focus on his fight and training,” Abdelaziz said. “He never stopped training. I truly believe Henry can come back to win the 135 [bantamweight] title and go up to 145 [featherweight] and win that. He will be the only fighter in UFC history to win three world titles.”
