Jon Jones Won’t Respond To Chuck Liddell Callout Ever Again!
Jon Jones and Chuck Liddell are both former UFC champions. Their verbal confrontation started in May 2018 when “The Iceman” said he’d like to face Jon Jones one day in an episode of an MMA hour. Jones openly invited Liddell to come and get the fight. He even shared his location.
Old Chuck has been calling me out for years! I get it, I hold pretty much every record in the division. I normally try to respect my elders but if you want it come get it. Id literally fly you out to Albuquerque this weekend.

Jon Jones also reminded Liddell he should “test the strength of his jaw in the first place”.
You might want to test the strength of that jaw before you take a bite you cant chew

Jon Jones then made a joke out of Chuck’s age, claiming he “can’t fulfill his wish until the mid of 2019”. But then Liddell wrote “Bones” could learn “from a real legend and champion”. Chuck Liddell also looked back at Jon’s “life outside the cage”.
I figure it’s a good place for a youngin like u to learn from a true legend and champion on … https://t.co/F1OvWTk6md

Here is Liddell’s full message.
“I figure it’s a good place for a youngin like u to learn from a true legend and champion on how to really fight and conduct your life inside and outside the ring champions101 #respect #integrity”
Look at Jones’ response below.
@ChuckLiddell Brother I don’t have to be retired to be a legend first of all. And you talking to me about conducting my life outside the cage is just hysterical. Chuck we all know you’re far from innocent.

But Jones slammed the door shut. He posted a Wikipedia screenshot with Liddell’s results! Let’s remember, before Saturday night, Chuck Liddell was defeated in his last three UFC fights. He lost to Rashad Evans, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and Rich Franklin.

Jon Jones then invited “old man” Liddell one more time to come to Albuquerque if he has something else to say.
i’m done with all this Internet bullshit for the time being, if you have something else to say to me I’ve already invited you down to Albuquerque. Take care old man Ladelle https://t.co/vf1bhXqTdK

After Liddell’s loss to Tito Ortiz at Golden Boy MMA 1 on Saturday night, “Bones” replied to a Twitter comment related to potential Jones Vs Liddell fight. Jon Jones officially confirmed that he was not interested in Chuck’s callout again.
Yeah it’s official, I am never replying to chuck calling me out again. https://t.co/oDYJ91Aes0

“Yeah it’s official, I am never replying to chuck calling me out again.”
His old rival Rashad Evans worked as an analyst at Liddell Vs Ortiz 3 broadcast. Let’s remember, the two fought at UFC 145 on April 21, 2012. “Bones” won via unanimous decision and successfully defended UFC Light Heavyweight title. “The Suga” questioned whether Jon Jones was clean for the clash versus Ovince Saint-Preux at UFC 197 on April 23, 2016. Jon Jones called Evans out because of that. You can read the stunning response below. Despite Jones was positive for banned substances two times, he said Rashad’s theory made no sense at all!
It’s easy for him to talk shit when he knows he’ll never be in the top 10 again. His theory makes no sense, I was freaking massive for that OSP fight. Literally bigger and more ripped than I had ever been for any previous fight. Hey Rashad 🤫 https://t.co/kHvQzS9lur

What are your thoughts on this beef? Chuck Liddell is unsure about the retirement at the moment. On the other side, Jon Jones is set to fight Alexander Gustafsson for the UFC Light Heavyweight title on December 29, 2018. Do you believe he can become the champion once again?
