INGLEWOOD, Calif. –  Jon Jones was 25 minutes into his post-fight news conference at UFC 232 when he noticed a familiar face in the audience. That’s when he decided to stop taking questions and get something off his chest. At the pre-fight news conference ahead of UFC 232, which saw Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) reclaim the UFC light heavyweight title with a third-round TKO of Alexander Gustafsson (18-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC), a somewhat heated exchange went down between “Bones” and journalist Izabelle Kostic from the Swedish MMA website Kimura.se. Jones did not take kindly to Kostic’s line of questioning about the controversy involving his pre-fight drug test. He said “you suck” and asked for “better journalism,” and the incident opened him up to a lot of negative PR from a variety of outlets.
