That's why I don't dig too deep into their personas they show on camera. Most of it is for their own motivation. GSP's motivation is to be classy and show respect. He's matured greatly since his first debut in the UFC. He probably felt like an unstoppable force until he was rocked by Serra. If Jon Jones starts becoming ****y(There's a fine line between ****y and confident) and doesn't lose a fight in a long time. Then I'll start hoping he starts losing.

I think I'm just really unbiased when it comes to predictions. Unless it's Cro Cop because I just hate seeing him lose.
So here's to "hoping" Rampage can win. If he can weather the storm and land that hook on Jones chin might see a new LHW Champion.

Everyone who's met him have changed their mind about him, because they've met the real Jones, not the on screen Jones. I couldn't give a **** anyway, it's MMA not a popularity contest. I want to watch the best fighters not the canniest lads.

Jones does kind of come off phony. But eventually we might see his true colors when a fighter comes along and gets under his skin.
I'm just pumped to see Rampage/Jones now!

@piercerdan
Unfortunately, being hypocritical seems to be what Jones does best. He talks about being a good Christian, but he has kids with his girlfriend/fiancee out of wedlock. He talks about being a role model, but when he told Dana White about how he stopped the mugger before his title fight, Jones was cursing like a sailor (it was on one of DW's video blogs but the UFC has since deleted it in order to protect Jones' image). He talks about humility, but then we hear about him talking trash to Rashad Evans at a nightclub with no provocation (Rashad talked about it the last time he was on Inside MMA).
I respect the insane amount of talent that the man has, but Jon Jones is as fake as a three dollar bill in my opinion.

This man isn't perfect, and he never claimed to be.
I'll put it how Jon Jones would,

@xbassist
Nobody said he claimed to be perfect, but he has claimed other things that he proceeded to fall short of.
I don't doubt that he wants to be all of the things he speaks of being, and I don't knock him for making efforts to better himself through Christ. I criticize Jon Jones for not being comfortable with who he is before trying to be a role model to someone else.
1Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
