Jon Jones seemed shocked to be called out by his own fighter on Saturday night while sitting ringside at DBX 2 in Miami.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robinson \u2018The Wolf\u2019 Perez made a name for himself, and earned a shot at<\/a> the newly-signed Jairzinho Rozenstruik<\/a>, with an impressive knockout of UFC veteran Alex Nicholson. And while that fight is more realistic, he also went for the big man while celebrating his victory.<\/p>\n

Jones is currently locked in a UFC stalemate, with fans pleading for him to unify the heavyweight<\/a> division with Tom Aspinall<\/a>. However, he didn\u2019t seem anywhere close to that while enjoying the festivities in Miami this weekend.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones channels famous 50 Cent meme after being called out at DBX 2<\/p>\n

Following Perez\u2019s big win, he headed to ringside where he ran into the UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones<\/a>. Despite the fact that Jones is technically his boss as a part-owner of Dirty Boxing Championship, \u2018The Wolf\u2019 wasn\u2019t hesitant to call him out to his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou next,\u201d Perez declared, with Jones raising his hands to indicate that is not something he is interested in at all. As the cameras stayed on the UFC legend, he proceeded to point to himself in \u2018why me\u2019 pose and asked \u201cMe? What the f\u2014?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to compare the moment to the viral meme of 50 Cent where the rapper can be seen asking viewers \u201cWhat he say f\u2014 me for?\u201d The moment dates back to when 50 Cent was feuding with boxing icon Floyd Mayweather, who dissed him alongside multiple other rappers, much to his shock.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones has been baffled by \u2018The Wolf\u2019 all week<\/p>\n

Jones being confused by the behaviour and trash talk of Perez is not exclusive to Saturday night, particularly given how he acted during Friday\u2019s ceremonial weigh-ins. He looked visibly disturbed by the bizarre trash talk between the two heavyweights during their face-off.<\/p>\n

When he and Nicholson came face-to-face \u2018The Wolf\u2019 immediately played down his opponent\u2019s size advantage. \u201cYou ain\u2019t no 6\u20194, b\u2014-,\u201d Perez said. \u201cYou should see my d\u2014,\u201d Nicholson bizarrely replied, before making it even weirder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could hold you down and f\u2014 you,\u201d Nicholson repeatedly shouted to make Jones\u2019 jaw drop. Jones, Mike Perry, and several members of security eventually stepped in to separate the two men. \u201cF\u2014\u2014 weirdo over here,\u201d Perez commented after the amazingly odd staredown came to an end.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jon Jones seemed shocked to be called out by his own fighter on Saturday night while sitting ringside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[44200,1935,72984,20439,58034,14022,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-185891","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-50-cent","9":"tag-boxing","10":"tag-dirty-boxing-championship","11":"tag-heavyweight","12":"tag-jon-jones","13":"tag-mike-perry","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114686408978761830","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
