UFC heavyweight title contender Jon Jones believes his rival Cyril Gun rose to the top of the rankings only because he only faced convenient opponents in the UFC.”I just rewatched my fight with Thiago Santos and it’s crazy if you think Cyril Gun is the most technical kickboxing fighter I’ve ever faced,” Jones wrote on social media. “All Thiago did was inflict maximum damage. At the same time, this guy had blistering speed and strength – he was explosive and incredibly versatile. Their lives depended on it. In his last three fights, he only fought clumsy opponents. The best fighter he ever fought was Francis and that’s crazy.”Recall that the fight for the interim UFC heavyweight title between Jon Jones and Cyril Gan will be the main event of the UFC 285 tournament, which will be held on March 4 in Las Vegas.
