Jon Jones mocks Amanda Nunes :
UFC Hall of Famer and former p4p rank 1 fighter Jon Jones made a playfully mimicking sound of a goat after Venezuelan Vixen beat Nunes( mocking Nunes). However, he later deleted the video.
Nunes was undefeated for eight long years. In which she defeated greats of the sport like Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Valentina Shevchenko, and the list goes on. So, defeating someone with that stature in the combat sports world at her prime is quite a shock and admirable.
Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier also tweeted congratulating the Venezuelan vixen. He wrote: “Absolutely Amazing! Congrats to the Venezuelan vixen !!! That’s why they play the game!”
