This is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard.

You say you're not rich, then clarify that you own a 2012 bentley? 


Okay. I guess being able to afford a $150,000+ car is middle class.

He compared himself to Ali which really annoyed me..........I mean Ali did exactly what he's doing now but Ali didn't try to be a nice guy about it....He recited ******* poems about how great he was,built up fights and belittled his opponents to the point where it was an art form! Bones does it but still tries to act like he's a really nice guy....... 

Telling Rashad how much better he is and that he owns a 2012 Bentley yet pressing the fact that he's a humble and nice guy who isn't that rich.... Either one or the other Jon.....No matter which way you try to spin both you're gonna end up looking fake!

You guys and tapology as a page is scoring serious points with me. Didn't know there was such one minded dislike for Jones and his personality here. In most sites people defend him and would claim we are jealous ;) Props guys.

I'll defend the guy all day long, what he does is nothing compared to the Diaz brothers, but they get love all day.

I hate their attitude and I think it's a pose but at least they are genuine. They don't claim they are nice, eloquent people that respect everyone. That's the problem with Jones. He does and says some things and then he claims he does completely the opposite.

The Diaz brothers don't try and convince everyone that they are really nice and humble in the midst of them saying something disrespectful....Bones felt the need to point out that he owns a "2012" Bentley seconds after stating that he isn't rich! Nick may say that he doesn't earn enough money but he isn't saying that while living in a 10 million dollar mansion...

*Norbar beat me to it......my point is awesome also though! haha

Jones is so full of himself, ugh. Rashad said it best a couple of months ago (paraphrasing): I'm in-front-of-cameras ****y, Jon is dreaming-about-himself-when-he-sleeps ****y.

Somethin' like that.

When Jones gets into HW, he's gonna get killed. He's just way too dependant on his HW size and reach to beat up LHWs.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.  Separate the athlete from their behavior.  Then objectivity can prevail.  

How else can we look objectively on the fighting of Lesnar, Koscheck, Sonnen, Diaz, Rampage, etc.  I don't care for trash-talking, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating the good points of Koscheck.  He is annoying as hell, but his fighting is good.

Jones is having to deal with media without much preparation.  He's doing the best he can to remain humble, so what if he fails at times.  If Ortiz or Koscheck had Jones level of tools/skills, he'd be so insufferable and unbearable, he'd be toxic to go near.

Bill, which one? Ortiz or Koscheck? You should've said "they would be insufferable" since you made it plural.

He's not doing the best he can to remain humble, he's doing the best he can to seem humble when he's not.

He's making an effort to be humble, good for him...nobody is truly humble they're just better at hiding it, Jones needs acting lessons thats all. Some fighters dont even make the effort, moan about them.

Human beings with egos = a lack of humility, I'm not saying 100%, but not far off, and yes it depressing.

@Bill really? I'm only 1 year older from Jones and I'm not ****y. I know I'm not at the same level of sucess but I know some really sucessful people and even the ****iest of them are not as 2 faced ****y as Jones. Hell I recently got 3 jobs at the same time, all that are kinda a testament to my skill and one is something I'm very proud of but I'm not really rubbing it in other peoples faces. Never did that in any sport I competed either and I had some results in quite a few of them.

I'm pretty much the greatest ****** person I know, but even I'm not ****y like Jon Jones.  I pretty much eat losers and **** out winners.  I mean, everyone I know is the best at what they do.  My mom is the greatest because she pushed out the best child ever, and that makes her the best mom ever, for example.  I'm not rubbing it in other people's faces, but ****...WINNING.
