He said in interview that in high school he used to snitch on classmates who had weed. Everyone here now dislikes him because of it.

Not everyone. A lot of people do it ironically. The people who do genuinely hate him also love the bad-at-fighting Diaz brothers.

When you put quotes like that side by side with all of his religiosity, it really makes the Jesus stuff sound more self-aggrandizing than anything else. Not that he means to do it, he just doesn't know any better. Contrast to Rich Franklin, who seems like a genuinely cool, amiable dude.

Who gives a gently caress if Jon Jones is a cool dude? He's totally not, but you aren't inviting him to a dinner party, just watch him smash faces and enjoy it.

Jones is a herb who has entertaining, good fights. Enjoy watching him in the cage, enjoy laughing at him outside of it. Do not let one interfere with your enjoyment of the other. You will be a happier mma fan for it.

I'll enjoy watching his fights regardless, rooting for or against. I just waffle between irritation and amusement that people who pray like hypocrites are the people most likely to be associated with the religion of Jesus Christ these days.

The only ones you need to know are Anderson Silva, the black guy who is the only man to sucessfully out-troll Chael Sonnen. Wanderlei Silva, the guy who looks like a LoTR creature but he has some pretty sweet highlight reel KOs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, the only man to KO Fedor

I know that in UFC and other MMA promotions, there's a rule against manipulation of small joints like fingers, etc. I know there are plenty of good reasons for it and I'm honestly afraid to find out, but... is there precedent for this poo poo happening in the ring?

Well I know there's records of a Pancrase champ from ancient Greece who would just break fingers until he won each match. Maybe they didn't want anyone getting any bright ideas?

Broken fingers rarely actually affect the match, but they result in the fighter being laid up for weeks and months afterwards, which means less fights.

One thing I've always wondered for the guys that are just starting out and make very little money - how do they survive? It seems as if the costs of just getting themselves stitched up and rehabilitated after a fight (if they took a beating) would cost far more than how much they'd make from their first few fights. Do they get any sort of medical coverage by the company or is it like pro wrestling where they are considered independent contractors and have to fend for themselves? Do they try to fit in fight training time during their day jobs?

In New Jersey (and I think most states), promoters are required to carry event insurance, so any injury that you incur during an actual fight is covered. Injuries during training are not. quote:Do they try to fit in fight training time during their day jobs? This is the case for most lower level guys. A lot of them teach at the schools they train at for extra cash, most do some kind of part-time or contract work or other things that let them set their own hours.

Injuries during training are not. Thanks for the quick answers! I remember back when I first read a bit on MMA I saw fight purses of like $1500 or less for some of the lower guys (that's been years ago and obviously MMA has blown up since then) but it made me somewhat feel bad for these guys that are getting their faces pushed in and limbs injured in fights and usually walking away with less than 5 grand for it. Add to that the schedule of only like three or four fights a year and I couldn't see how these guys could survive without being a top star or having sponsorship money. I guess it's similar to an indie wrestler working for 50 dollars a show (or not getting paid at all) when they first start out 'paying their dudes'. Both are pretty depressing to read about but MMA moreso since the fights are legit.
