The bad blood is getting ready again between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson.
Jones and Gustafsson, who are competing for the UFC light heavyweight title next month, hurt themselves at the UFC 232 press conference on Friday night in New York.
After clashing, Jones and Gustafsson turned to the media for a photo opportunity. A moment later, Jones stood in front of Gustafsson, trying to block him. Gustafsson was then put in front of Jones and the latter dismissed "The Mauler". UFC President Dana White had already gone to the side, apparently not waiting for the things between the two fighters to escalate. He returned to the middle of the stage to separate them before Gustafsson could react.
