Jon Jones gives strong advice to Khamzat Chimaev, Ilia Topuria after shocking losses

UFC legend Jon Jones weighed in on Khamzat Chimaev and Ilia Topuria’s shocking title fight losses and what they need to change.

Two of the UFC’s best pound-for-pound combatants, Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev, suffered their first career defeats just a few weeks apart. Topuria lost the undisputed UFC lightweight title to Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250, just weeks after Chimaev lost a narrow decision to Sean Strickland to relinquish the middleweight belt at UFC 328.

Topuria and Chimaev could potentially earn immediate rematches later this year, depending on what the UFC matchmakers decide to do with both divisions. Chimaev has called for an immediate rematch with Strickland despite initially announcing a move to light heavyweight.

While former two-division UFC champion Jon Jones never lost during his career, except for a controversial DQ defeat to Matt Hamill, he understands what it takes to bounce back from trials and tribulations. Jones believes Topuria and Chimaev need to make some changes as they attempt redemption.
