I would just like him to be a little more humble and control his ego. Jones is a lot like Kobe, hard to like but easy to respect.

It's like peopole are just coming up with reasons to hate him which you could do with most fighters. Saying that however, he was in that Bruce Lee documentary as well, and he didn't come off well at all. Beating the weakness out of people is what he said on the doc, he's the next bully on bully beatdown.

Though I do admit, Jones does have this fake/****y thing going for him a bit that all the 'haters' claim. To me, it just seems like he is trying to create a persona to be play in front of the cameras as a way to adjust and control the fame.
And quite honestly, it's the way he goes about being ****y, in a passive, quiet way. Instead of saying 'Oh yeah punk!? I'ma kick your ***", it's something along the lines of he's leaving the Octagon the champ, blah blah blah, with God on his side

I first heard of Jon Jones shortly after I really started becoming interested in MMA and the UFC (2008-2009) when I had read a magazine interview that Jon Jones had given (Fight Magazine I think) and he was saying the same things then that he says now... regarding his faith, etc... At that time he was coming off of his victory over Stephen Bonnar at UFC 94.
A lot of fighters say it is their destiny or something similar to be the champion (why they were born, etc.) - so is it just that he is now the champion that saying these things bother people?
What do you think of the tattoo that Justin Lawrence has on this season of the Ultimate Fighter? Same tattoo as Jones but a different chapter and verse of the Bible are quoted...

I have the utmost respect for Jone's in the cage. He's well rounded and exciting to watch. However, outside the cage he just seems arrogant and fake.
