I bet you Jon Jones has somebody in your camp. I guarantee you he’s watching you. He watched me in my camp. I was training at the MusclePharm, in Colorado. So you didn’t know everybody there. There were some people that was working there. And I guess they was cool with Jon. And only way I found out I faked the injury.

I’m in the middle of a pretty clear decision… stick to exact and original plans, and fight the man with all the accolades. Or, completely disregard all of the Stipe training I’ve put in and fight another potential hype train that may not even be around in three years.
I am not…— BONY (@JonnyBones) May 9, 2024
