Horn was also well on his way to taking a title fight decision from Frank Shamrock before Shamrock pulled out a weird out-of-nowhere kneebar

Days after being stripped of a belt and he still hasn't made a public statement on it.

Saturday update: Finally public statement http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/conor-mcgregor-fires-back-at-the-ufc-im-still-the-two-weight-world-champion-120316

quote:

They're trying to strip me. Well, I ain't stripped. I still got that belt. That belt's sitting in my home right now. I'm still the two-weight world champion. Someone's got to come take that off me. I see articles. I see stuff online, but I don’t see the belt not in my presence.

The belt is right there. There's two world titles in my home.

Eddie's still unconscious, what do you mean? I only fought last week. Them belts are mine. Whatever they want to say — 'oh well we took the belt, the belt is this guy's belt' — you can play with those fake belts all you want. Jose was KO'd. Eddie was KO'd.

You're looking at the two weight world champion and that's it!

I'll say to the UFC and I love the company — you're fooling nobody. You're fooling nobody with that. Best of luck to them. I still got them belts. Somebody's got to come take them belts from me physically. Not online. Not through a keyboard. The keyboard warriors trying to take them belts.

You've got to take those belts off me physically to come get them.

I assume he knows that the belt isn't a loving travelling trophy. Every time a new champion is crowned, they have a newly-made belt ready to give away and the old champion can still keep his belt on his mantle as a memento of his reign. The UFC isn't going to break into his house and take it.

I think they should just have the 1 belt and not make a new one every time. it would be a nice gesture to future mma athletes to have the belt theyre fighting for be the same one that their childhood heroes held

I'm sure you're right and he doesn't know that and he definitely just isn't talking poo poo to get publicity like literally everything else in his life he does.

Just finished the Jon Jones podcast. It's pretty much what I expected, a dude who's massively immature taking the minimal amount of responsiblity for his own actions.

Joe kind of soft balled him a little bit in some areas but it was at least entertaining enough.

he really does delusionally believe himself to be a sweet blameless child and his immense chronic personal flaws are "tests" from a greater power that he habitually fails yet refuses to recognize consequences of or learn from at all

Couldn't have said it better. It's fascinating. It would have been rad if Joe gave him the 'Brendan Schaub crash course of self awareness' but hey.

I guess it's the whole you really do believe you're the hero of your own story type thing.

My actions might have been those of a lovely person who does lovely things to people, but I'm a good person. Honest.

I imagine it's what happens when nothing is ever a child's fault and whenever it fucks up all the important people who are quick to punish and condemn the entire rest of the world bend over backwards to assure you that it's fine and normal to repeatedly poo poo the bed in your mid 20's.

But hell if Tyson grew up so can Jon Jones.

There is probably zero chance Jones would listen to that type of lecture and take it seriously given his track record.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Tyson hit rock bottom so hard he penetrated all the way through the other side of the planet. Does Jones have a manager who is in a position to steal all of his money? Because as long as he's rich, Jones will never learn or be accountable.

JON JONES: [with all the even metred fake humility he can muster] I just want to apologise to all my fans, you know the lord has been good to me and I hope I can be good in return. What I said was in the heat of the moment, it wasn't really me, I'm a committed Christian and I would definitely make sure the human being loved me before I hosed him.
