Jon Jones has not been happy with some of the officiating throughout his career, but he said his issues with referees haven’t stopped him from doing what he does best: winning. Jones (25-1 MMA, 19-1 UFC) said on a Monday media call that he hasn’t made a request for a specific referee for his fight against Dominick Reyes on Saturday at UFC 247, but recalled bad experiences with officials in some of his previous fights. “I have not (made any requests), but I’ve had some (expletive) situations happen in there,” Jones said. “I felt like I’ve had guys that were very obviously not on my side in that ring, and I’m not going to say their names because I don’t want to give them attention. But even with that happening, I still found a way to not only win those two fights, but finish those fights.” Jones said the two fights were his submission win over Vitor Belfort at UFC 152, refereed by John McCarthy, and his TKO win over Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch at UFC 232, refereed by Mike Beltran. “John McCarthy, I felt like his energy was way off when I fought Vitor Belfort, and I found a way to finish the fight,” Jones said
