Yeah, I did, but the title definitely seems to be Rolling Stone adopting that opinion to a degree and the way they talk him up in the article certainly suggests that. I did not know Jon Jones had been applying to be a janitor prior to taking up MMA. Edit: yeah, the comparisons to MMA media may have been unwarranted. The tone of the article just rubbed me the wrong way since I consider Jones to be a oval office. Neurosis fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Nov 3, 2011 |

quote:After about a year and a half of mostly teaching himself, and adopting a life of monastic dedication, Jones had refined his nasty mix of kickboxing, wrestling and jiujitsu, and began his run to the title. makes you question why more fathers out of wedlock don't become ufc champions

Hell if the rumors about why he really left to play baseball are true he's a lot worse than Jones could ever be.

Oh hey, MMAMania put out a betting guide for UFC 138. I've never heard of the dude writing it, so let's see what we can glean from his article - quote:This is probably just the JMMA fanboy in me quote:I’m an outspoken advocate of pure strikers Well this guys certainly seems qualified to give mma betting advice!

fawker posted:I know this is PSP, but whats the story behind this? It's a tinfoil theory, but Michael Jordan is a huge gambler, his losses to one other person in particular have exceeded 1.3 million and he was always going to casino's during his career, even during play off series. There's also rumors (again take with a grain of salt) that his father was shot as a result of his son's debts. The NBA opened an investigation into his gambling and at some point during this investigation Jordan left to play minor league baseball, three or so days after announcing his move to baseball, they closed the investigation. There's even apparently a link that the team he played for's owner was close to MJ's management. I don't necessarily believe any of it, especially since a golfer can't get a hummer from a porn star without it breaking but like I said, if the rumors are true, Jon Jones aint such a bad dude for ratting kids out for dimebags. Outside of that just about everyone who's a non-celebrity who's met mJ has said he's a oval office.

The gambling thing is stupid tinfoil garbage but he was undeniably a huge rear end in a top hat & basically spent his basketball life calling everyone near him a human being.
