UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will put his title on the line in the main event of UFC 239 against surging division contender Thiago Santos.<\/p>\n
Santos recently made headlines when he trashed Jones suggesting he would be remembered as a \u2018roider\u2019 and a \u2018drunk\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s karma, he\u2019ll have to live with it. He will be remembered as a roider, a guy who drives while drunk. That\u2019s his business. I have to be remembered for not doing those things. It\u2019s his life. If that\u2019s how he wants to live his life, that\u2019s his problem.\u201d Santos said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t bother me. It\u2019s like I said, you can\u2019t argue about his talent inside the Octagon, but outside of it, unfortunately he\u2019s not a good role model. That\u2019s what I think.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jon Jones responded to Santos\u2019 remark this evening on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve shown my opponent nothing but respect yet today\u2019s headlines are of him talking shit. 95% of my opponents insult my personal life before the fight, 100% of them end up losing the fight. Who\u2019s ready for July 6?<\/p>\n — BONY (@JonnyBones) May 18, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
