Jon Jones and Matt Mitrione engage in twitter beef!
With Jon Jones not getting any time to fight in the Octagon, the former UFC light heavyweight champion can still find a few wars to get into on the Internet.
On Friday, Jones and Bellator heavyweight Matt Mitrione got into it on twitter.
Mitrione posted a photo of a bartender side by side with a photo of Jones and said, “To support his habit during suspension, apparently Jon Jones (he blocked me) picked up a cash job. Clever disguise Jon.”

Jones took offense to the post from Mitrione and replied, “@mattmitrione I have more money in real estate then your net worth. You come out of nowhere talking shit, fuck off bro.”

Then the two replied to some fans who were getting in on the action.
“Lol he’s cut? I didn’t know that lol hey, smart man. Maybe he’ll get an article tomorrow.”
“Hey everybody had on over and give @mattmitrione a few follows. He needs some attention today,” Jones added.

As far as a fan saying that he would fear for Mitrione’s life if he stepped into the cage against Jones, Mitrione simply said, “Dude. Stop. Think it through. Just stop.”

Jones went on to question on why he gets so much hate from other athletes.
“I swear I get the most hate from the washed up ones 😒”

“Screw the public figure part. I’m never harassed by people in general who seem like they got it going on.”
