Matt Mitrione Not a Fan of 'Douchey' Jon Jones

Surprise surprise, somebody else has an opinion of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.

In one of the most recent criticisms of the champion, heavyweight Matt Mitrione added a classic Mitrione quote when he called out Jon Jones.

"

I'm not a fan of Jon Jones as a person, but I like Jon Jones as a fighter...I think he shows a lot of douchey quality when he talks about, "Well, I'm a business man," I'm just being honest.

"

Mitrione went on further stating that he would love to get his hands on the once-defeated superstar.

"

Overtime, I think he went from being a pretty cool guy, pretty humble, to being about as arrogant as I can handle. He's so cocky, he seems like really, so disingenuous and just blah, just not my flavor of a human being, that's all. I even told Joe Silva, if Jon Jones is talking about going to heavyweight, I'd love to welcome Jon Jones to the heavyweight division.

"

While this is not the first person to comment negatively on Jones' personality and call him out for a fight, it's very odd for Mitrione to call out Jones. 

The reason this is odd for Mitrione to call out Jones is that he wants to "...be James Irvin," referring to Anderson Silva fighting up a weight class against Irvin. That was a weird choice of words, as Irvin was knocked out very quickly in that fight.

Mitrione is not the first heavyweight to call out Jones and inquire a fight. Daniel Cormier recently said he would love to challenge Jon Jones in the future, giving fans a reason to get excited for that potential fight.

If Mitrione wants to fight Jones at heavyweight, he better work on his wrestling and all-around game in general. If he struggled against Cheick Kongo, he would struggle even more with Jones.
