Jones tweeted, "Sometimes I feel like I’ve been in a deja vu, everyone’s going to be the guy to kick my ass. Meanwhile, I’m over here undefeated with a face full of gray hairs." Jones followed that up with two more tweets, "Half the time the guys talking the most crap don’t even end up winning their next fight. I’ve been around this game for a long time. Over the years, I’ve learned not to get all [impressed] so quickly. Stick around, win consistently like I have. And then talk your s***." Jones’ last tweet read, "Everyone’s the next big thing until I beat them. And then it’s like well. Who was that guy anyway? Just a few months ago [Ciryl] Gane was the absolute future of MMA. Best foot work, fastest heavyweight we have ever seen. The most athletic. Now everyone’s like who the hell is that guy?" Tom Aspinall saw Jones" tweets and simply tweeted, “Jon, chill out mate."
