Twitter reacts to Tito Ortiz saying he’d do better vs. Jon Jones than DC

UFC hall of famer and Combate Americas fighter Tito Ortiz likes his chances vs. the best light heavyweight in UFC history, Jon Jones.

“I think I would do a lot better against Jon Jones than Daniel Cormier, because Cormier is just a shorter guy, bigger legs, bigger torso” said Ortiz on the Domenick Nati Show, as transcribed by Milan Ordo for BE. He’s just a big, big guy. Jon Jones is long and lengthy. I’m going to get in the inside and try to overpower some of the positions.

“But if it would be Jon Jones, I would think I’d have a great chance against. … If I have a camp like I did the last one of 18 weeks, 100 percent. There really hasn’t been anybody to fight Jon Jones, to get in his face, and stay in his face. Everybody else, they want to strike on the outside with him. He’s too damn long, you cannot do that. You got to get in the inside of him. That’s the way to fight him. As a coach and as a fighter, that’s the way to beat him, he continued. Someone should be aggressive enough to keep the fight, pushing him around. Make him feel uncomfortable.

And Twitter reacted, not kindly:
