MMA fans will forgive a lot of things, cheating on your wife 800 times, taking all the steroids in the world, being Matt Hughes, but anything even remotely resembling cowardice will stay with you forever

Triticum Guzzler posted:But this wasn't even strongarm contract negotiations. This was just Jon Jones inviting another PR disaster upon himself unprompted because he didn't want to fight a certain person. The financial reward is the same regardless of who he fights Big Dave Meltzer alleged that Jones would make at least $750k more based on the far higher number of projected buys for the rematch. Even if that's spurious, there's no doubt that with PPV points he'd make more money fighting Gustafsson.

when gsp wanted to fight only twice a year, and later no times a year dana white didn't call him a coward and an rear end in a top hat and whatever, because georges handled it like a grown up and dana 1) responded in kind and 2) understood that people like georges and calling him a coward or whatever would not be good for him or for business.

"[Cormier] isn't relevant to me.... he's not top 5." -Jon Jones, April 2014 "Daniel Cormier has an LCL and ACL injury after the Hendo fight and may need surgery." -UFC Tonight, May 2014 "I don't want to fight Alexander Gustafsson, I want to fight Daniel Cormier." -Jon Jones, June 2014

Can you imagine Cain saying he didn't want to fight Werdum or Hendricks saying he doesn't want to fight Lawlor again and please let him fight Nick Diaz?

Street Horrrsing posted:Oh did he? I don't follow fighters on social media. That changes things slightly, but I'd still say the onus on the ufc to make it rewarding enough for a fighter to accept their conditions, not to indirectly shame them into accepting what's offered. He also said "It's my career, not yours" toward the end of the video in the douchey way that only Jon Jones can deliver a line without irony

Jon Jones' meltdown if he ever loses will be incredible but unless he kills a baby it won't touch Rampage's.

fatherdog posted:"[Cormier] isn't relevant to me.... he's not top 5." Right after the fight, [Jones] thought the most fair thing to do was to grant Alexander Gustafsson a rematch. Now, after watching the fight over ten more [times], Jones thinks he decisively won rounds two, four and five and that he decisively won the fight, so the most fair thing to do is to move on. - UFC Tonight, September 2013 I’m going to fight Glover and I will answer all the critics about the Gustafsson fight. I will fight Gustafsson after I fight Glover. I won the fight but I look at it as a blemish on my record because some people think I didn’t. I promise you, he will be next. - Jon Jones, September 2013

Jon Jones is a man of his word, when he vows in front of God that he will forego all others, when he says in public that he's not the kind of guy who gets a DUI, and when he promises to fight a man, you can bet your bottom dollar he's not going to drunkenly smash a car full of strippers into a pole or duck anyone

The thing that bugs me the most about Jon Jones is that he doesn't even need to do the poo poo he does. He is a pretty amazing fighter. If you gave his gifts to pretty much any other fighter they wouldn't care who they fought. But he has to go and be such an unlikable sack of poo poo by poking eyes, calling out dudes with blown out knees, and ducking people he's already beaten (gently caress mma judging.)

Who knows what he was like before, but walking into a sport and becoming one of the best in like four years isn't going to do your ego any favours.

He's an arrogant unlikeable philandering sack of poo poo who cheats in every fight, ducks the best competition available while racking up his defense streak and can't speak well. He truly HAS surpassed Tito Ortiz as the greatest light heavyweight of all time.

Jones personality sucks so bad that with a whole team of business guys around him plus the stronger than ever UFC marketing machine with unimagined resources promoting an almost unprecedented streak of performances, he can't compete with the thousand yard stare, grunts, and one to three word sentences of Chuck Liddell

Roy Nelson is dumb and thinks he's smart, but not particularly herbish or obnoxious.

After the test happened and Vitor got taken off the card, somebody asked his lawyer what the results of the test were and the response was "Vitor is no longer fighting on the card, and therefore no longer applying for a license in Nevada, so the results of the test are not relevant."

also if people asked him about it during interviews his wife picked up the phone and said the lawyer already answered it. that is what vitor means when he says he has nothing to hide from anyone.

As much of a psycho cheater rear end in a top hat as Vitor is, after the Jones talk he comes across positively likeable and I can't be bothered to hate on him at all.
