9 up 8 down... looks like there's about as many people who don't like Bones as there are that do

I have been avoiding this thread like the plague. I'm probably the biggest Jones hater on here.

oh no minotauro.  let me ask you this:

do you dislike:
- his personality
- his fighting style
- both

I can't understand how anyone would dislike his style...?

Personality, his fighting style is good, very entertaining guy. I don't like how he likes to do so much illegal stuff (**** chokes, headbutts, etc.) but overall, I like it. 

His personality though, is off the charts horrible. Not signing replica belts? Are you ******* kidding me? Also, his ****iness pisses me off so much. Being a ****y guy is one thing, I don't care about that. Guys like Josh Koscheck and Rashad Evans don't bother me too much. But he masks it and tries to pretend he's such a great guy, meanwhile he has this ridiculous ego. I can't stand that. Also, he is such a "devout Christian" (which does not bother me at all) but he has three kids out of wedlock. That bothers me. 

You can call me a hypocrite I guess because I do like Falcao a lot, and he seems like a pretty ****** up guy outside of the cage, but Jones' personality is so overwhelmingly bad to me, that I can't stand the guy. I usually don't care about personality and stuff, but Jones' is sooo bad.

The biggest problem I have with Jones is calling himself "God's Champion." To me that is the epitome of arrogance and egotism. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against christians or people who take pride in their religion, but you never heard even some of the hard core christians like Matt Hughes call themselves "God's Champion."
