"UFC star Jon Jones posted a video of him killing a pig in 2021 and that led allegedly to a long message from Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton. Jones was living life after vacating his UFC light heavyweight title at the time — and bulking up to eventually move to heavyweight — when he went on a helicopter ride to shoot at pigs alongside former rangers. Hamilton, who had just won just 7th world championship in Formula 1 months prior, apparently didn’t like it. “I went hunting years ago with bunch of army rangers, and we ended up hunting pigs from a helicopter from using AR-15s,” Jones said in an interview with ALF Global. “I was so proud of myself ‘cause I killed one of the pigs from the helicopter. My pig was donated to an underprivileged family in the community.” “But Lewis saw me shoot the pig from a helicopter,” he continued. “He wrote me a long message saying that I was a coward, and that he thought that I was better than that. He said that the traditional way of killing animals should be with a spear or a bow and arrow. And he was saying like, only a coward would shoot an animal from an helicopter, to give the animal a chance to fight you back, at least.” Jonny Meat on Instagram: "One shot, one kill, lots of bacon. Was an honor hunting with medal of honor recipient @t.payne75 & @jeff_cotto @mattcronrath @operational_defense_institute" Jones did not have a chance to respond, though, because Hamilton apparently blocked him on social media. “He unfollowed me, and he blocked me,” Jones said. “And it sucked because I was his fan. I was a fan of him, but he was very disappointed for shooting the pig. So Lewis, if you’re listening, I’m sorry, bro. I’m sorry. Won’t do it again.”
