I listened.
But why is it that when evidence is shown in the favor of Jones being a genuinely good man,
people are also so quick to throw it out?
Funny how you act when the tables are turned.

To be honest I had accidently forgotten to reply to that part,
but here is my retort:
Jon Jones is the Champion. And if he declined the signing of a belt, it is his choice. Although I don't agree with it.
But the man did apologize for it.

jones already addressed this as a joke. nobody in attendance complained or mentioned this. jones was the one who made it up afterwards. except you guys all latch on to this as some evil arrogant plot when it's literally nothing.
"calling himself the champ in autographs before his fight with shogun"
1) who cares. 2) you've already distorted the facts. all he was doing was hyping himself up and trying to believe and visualize that he would win. 3) where's the hate for chael sonnen who repeatedly says this.

He did say it was a joke, and I remember that.
But I'm sure the haters will dismiss this as "damage control" as well...
=/
And he seems very genuine to me.
He's a fighter, not the president of the United States.

@greg I think Chael's stuff is obviously an act. Plus it's hilarious so he gets away with it. Plus he has as many if not more haters than Jones.

The fact that people even have the discussion about Jones shows more about how popular he is than anything.
We all know that people will hate him, despite the way he acts from now on. But they will continue to watch him fight.
Everyone will.
But I suppose the people who have to watch their flavor of the month fighter lose to Jones every time have to have something to hang on to when their fighter falls limp to the canvas.

I'll watch him as long as he's entertaining and in fights that he COULD lose. If he gets to the point where nobody has even a modicum of a chance against him, it won't be interesting for me anymore. So, won't watch him then.
Nobody denies the man's skills (they shouldn't, at least). And yes, some people will hate him no matter what he does, because some people just rub others the wrong way. Just how it is.
