"A 43-year-old man won the f**king belt!" - Dillon Danis claims Jon Jones 'sucks', blames UFC light heavyweight division for undeserved success

Dillon Danis does not boast the best reputation amongst fans for his opinions and his antics. The controversial fighter only chose to worsen that reputation with his latest take on one of the most decorated fighters in mixed martial arts, Jon Jones.

In an interview with Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh on their Flagrant podcast, Danis stated that Jones "sucks." He further backed his claim by referencing Jones' dominant light heavyweight title reign and the state of the division:

“You guys don’t know fighting, it’s hard to talk to you guys about fighting. Like, Jon Jones sucks. [What does he suck at?] Everything, bro. Bro, look at the light heavyweight division. They’re all terrible. A 43-year-old man won the f*****g belt!”

Check out his comments below:

Dillon Danis was referring the oldest first-time champion in UFC history, Glover Teixeira. The Brazilian won the title in 2021 against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267. The rear-naked choke submission win made him the second oldest champion in UFC history at 42, behind only Randy Couture.

Contrary to Danis' claims, Jon Jones has somewhat proven himself in another division, too. In his latest outing, he challenged for the vacant heavyweight title after a lengthy hiatus from action. It took Jones less than a full round to dispatch former interim champ Ciryl Gane and secure the heavyweight belt at UFC 285.
