Jones is a young prick, I'm hoping Rampage wins but damnit Jones is scary.

I dont think Jones is as much of a nice guy as he tries to be. I think hes a great fighter but something about his personality just strikes me as fake.

@Lone- Well until You have met him you can't say he is fake. I've met him in person and hes a real nice guy and very humble :)

I like him. I don't care what anyone says. I don't get why people hate him so much either, but hey, let em hate. Maybe it's because he destroyed Shogun, who knows. WAR BONES

He has admitted he is/was a snitch. No more reason needed to not like him. But I have another anyway. Greg Jackson - at the forefront of trying to take the fighting out of MMA and accentuate "sport" and "art". Ugh!

It's been awhile but I'm pretty sure I remember him saying he snitched on other kids in HS for smoking pot among other things. Or maybe that's the one thing I remember.....or can't remember.... wait, what were we talking about?

@mulefloyd just found the article, guess he would've snitched on me if I went to his school haha

I'm still waiting for the next headline of  him foiling another theft, or read an article about him saving  a kitten from a tree, or delivering a baby at a bus-stop. Fabricated PR **** to build public opinion of his character. Can't help but suspect it has something to do with getting mma sanctioned in New York, Jones' home state.     He snitched about marijuana, not that i'm trying to call him some "Uncle Tom" Bones is the reason i quit, **** i'm not trying to go to jail haha its a rough sport and there comes a day to PAY THE PIPER, humility should be present at all times.
    Thats Dv8eds take on things

If he snitched on people smoking weed then he's a *****, he tries to act like the next ******* savior. I hope Rampage takes him out, there's nothing worse than a guy that's ****y that tries to act humble.

Couldn't agree more.

I don't want to get into an argument here about the legality of marijuana, or the positive vs the negative effects of it....but I will say, just because something is illegal, or legal, doesn't make it objectively wrong or right.

Until it's made legal, it's illegal.  Gotta draw the line somewhere.  It's a drug, and to me, using illegal drugs is inherently wrong.  Contrary to the popular argument, people do get killed over marijuana.
