Several fans took to X to react to the video and wrote:

"People in comments flaming Jones but ignoring Perry cheering it on. Whole thing is shameful."

"How can u be an MMA fan and support the absolute ducking behavior Jon [has] been [showing]? Shameless f*cks."

"Imagine paying that many actors for your own ego, [shaking] my head]."

"Fu*k Tom Aspinall for doing exactly what a fighter is supposed to do by going after the only guy ahead of him in the rankings. How fu*king dare he expect the champion to defend his belt against the No.1 contender instead of doing glorified exhibition fights against retirees."

"He is 230-235 lbs in this pic. He was 100% planning to vacate the belt and fight Alex for either 205 belt or waiting for him to come to HW and not lose speed against him."
