Who Won The Trash Talk? (Jones v. Cormier)

Jon Jones' response to Ben Askren: 'Bro, you're the king of the JV league'

LAS VEGAS - Ben Askren is the undisputed, pound-for-pound champion of trolling the UFC.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is the latest to respond to one of the undefeated OneFC welterweight titleholder's caustic tweets.

On December 29, Askren tweeted a picture of Jones placing third on the medal stand at the New York state high school wrestling meet, which was won by former UFC competitor Matt Riddle.

At Thursday's UFC 182 Media Day at the MGM Grand, Jones shot back.

"Yeah, I saw it," Jones said. "I'm not going to acknowledge it. He's a Bellator fighter. I don't want that to be taken the wrong way, but it's like, bro, you're the king of the JV league."

Askren wasted no time responding. "I'm the king of whichever damn league I please," he tweeted. "Have fun getting beat up Saturday night."

. . .

Cormier, too, saw Askren's initial tweet.

"I saw that, man," Cormier said. "I thought that was pretty funny."

Jones trash talk was mediocre at best. I personally was a fan of Cormier's "Why don't you shut the fuck up bitch?"
