Two top-ranked heavyweights met in the main event of UFC Vegas 20 on Saturday night, and the former light heavyweight king was not impressed.
No. 4 ranked Jairzinho Rozenstruik fought No. 7 Ciryl Gane for five rounds and Gane picked up the victory by unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45). Gane (8-0) put on a smart, technical performance, avoiding the power puncher and landing his own strikes.

However, the fight wasn’t as entertaining as it was billed to be as it was lacking action during large parts of the bout.
And during the contest, No. 2 ranked UFC pound-for-pound male Jon Jones took a shot at the fighters on Twitter.
“These boys better get used to pushing the pace, all this standing around ain’t gonna fly when daddy comes home,” Jones wrote.

“Bones” is currently preparing to make his heavyweight debut and UFC president Dana White has confirmed he will receive an immediate title shot against the winner of UFC 260’s Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou.
After Jones tweeted about the UFC Vegas 20 main event, Ngannou chimed in. The No. 1 ranked heavyweight took issue with Jones’ tweet, writing, “Daddy comes home?”
Daddy comes home? 🤣🤣🤣

“The Predator” then responded to a fan who tweeted about Jones. “When he hasn’t had a finish or even a decisive win in years.” Ngannou answered, “Fact.”
