Jon Jones Shuts Down Claim He Self-Sabotaged Himself With Conor McGregor Comparison

Conor McGregor remains one of the most well known MMA fighters in the history of combat sports and his accolades over the years speak for themselves. The Notorious is also known to trash talk often, with varied results.

While Conor McGregor has backed up his trash talks in the past, more often than not, they have also resulted in embarrassing defeats for him. McGregor also doesn’t hold any title in the UFC.

Earlier this year, Conor McGregor topped Forbes Magazine’s list of the top-10 highest-paid athletes in 2021 as he had earned a total of $180 million over the last 12 months. He beat the likes of LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and others to top the list.

Jon Jones has been fighting for better pay for UFC fighters for the past year or so and it has led to a widespread debate among fans. Jones took to Twitter and shot down a claim by a fan who said he sabotaged himself and could’ve become like Conor McGregor.

Hennessey has a sister company, liquor company. They offered me $80,000 a month Some years ago to represent their brand. I turned it down. We are all on different journeys my guy.

Jon Jones has had a tumultuous 2021, to say the least, especially with his recent domestic violence arrest. It remains to be seen who Jon Jones’ first opponent will be once he returns to the MMA world.
