Jon Jones wasted no time celebrating Ciryl Gane’s victory over Josh Hokit in the UFC 334 main event.
The former heavyweight champion took to social media and watched the decision as Gane secured the victory to successfully defend his title. Of course, Jones made quick work of Gane when they fought back in 2023 as he claimed heavyweight gold with a rapid-fire submission in the first round.
“Same coaches, different results,” Jones said about Hoiit, who also trains under Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.
“Put your hand down [Hokit]. Good job Frenchman!”
On Twitter, Jones also took aim at Hokit without ever saying his name while noticing that the heavyweight challenger seemingly trash talked him before the fight but then lost a decision to Gane.
“Bro, I know it’s the craziest coincidence,” Jones wrote. “Almost every single fighter that talks crap about me ends up losing the next fight. I swear it’s been that way for years. Weird.
“I’m not gonna lie, it’s kind of nice.”
Of course, Jones retired after winning and defending the heavyweight title after previously establishing himself as the most dominant light heavyweight in UFC history.
It appears Jones is still willing to take aim at fighters mentioning his name with Hokit becoming the latest in a long line of people trying to tear down the former two-division champion only to have that come back to bite them in the end.
