Jon Jones continues to rub fans up the wrong way with his extracurricular activities.
The UFC heavyweight champion has not fought since knocking out Stipe Miocic to defend his title at UFC 309 in November.
Since then, Jon Jones has been locked in talks for a unification bout with interim champion Tom Aspinall.
Negotiations have been protracted and ‘Bones’ is seen as the reason the fight hasn’t been announced yet.
Fans react to Jon Jones hanging out with Hasbulla
Jones recently irked fans by signing up to coach opposite Nate Diaz on a Russian reality TV show.
Now, he’s been caught on camera literally breaking bread with 3ft 4in social media star Hasbulla.
The wholesome footage would usually be greeted with glee by MMA fans, but after seeing what Jones was up to during his trip to Thailand, they all said the same thing.
“Anything instead of fighting Tom Aspinall,” one fan commented. While another added: “No one cares. Fight Tom.”
“Still hiding from Tom. Strip this clown,” a third fan demanded.
“Homeboy doing everything except signing the contract,” someone else said.
“I would like to see him hang out with Tom Aspinall,” a fifth fan wrote.
“Anything instead of fighting Tom Aspinall,” another X user fumed
