Yes that would be awesome. I'm not saying Bones is going to magically become a good person after 90 days. DC said it beat a few days ago "Free time is Jon Jones biggest enemy."

I also used to work in a "behavior/mental health" facility for youth. I once saw a statistic of a recidivism rates for the previous group of kids before I started and it was 95%. Have tons of stories from there. And can confirm that these places don't work if not they make things way worse.

I'm in no way speaking about your experiences kicking addiction, but I think Jones has some negative influences and possibly negative personality traits that make this very unlikely.

This would have been his third DWI but he successfully ran and hid for long enough after the second one that it wasn't one of the charges. Even here you wonder if he would have been caught if not for firing the gun which drew the cop over to investigate.

Why would he want to change? He's having fun and there have been zero consequences for him.

Staying home in quarantine and reading the reaction of people to the situation around my fight, it turns out that the whole world should be in quarantine, governments of all countries, famous people around the world urge people to follow all safety requirements in order to limit the spread of the disease, to save people, and Khabib is the only one relieved of all obligations and must demonstrate free will and train flying around the world, for the sake of fight? - I understand everything and I’m definitely upset more than you to cancel the fight, probably like all others, I had many plans after the fight, but I can’t control it all.
The greatest countries and the largest companies of our time are shocked by what is happening, every day the situation changes unpredictably.
But Khabib still has to fight, is that what you saying? - Take care of yourself and put yourself in my shoes.

He's only beloved by commentators because they used to watch him on YouTube many years ago. He never really had mainstream success and even his win against Seth petruzelli is mired in controversy.

He lost to seth petruzelli. It was really funny. Seth was a late replacement for someone, possibly one of the Shamrocks, and Kimbo trips over and gets TKOd five seconds in. Amazingly, if he had won, Seth 'literally never won in the UFC' Petruzelli would probably have been his most legit win.

Mr. Nice! posted:

Didn't Rampage pick Kimbo first overall, as well? I can't recall.

Roy was definitely the front runner, though. He used to be one of the best in the world. Then he fell in love with KOs and gave up on actually being a good fighter.

There's great exchange between Roy and Dana. "When are you going to start taking me seriously?" "When are you?"

It was Ken Shamrock (though Frank was in the commentary booth and offered to step in), and the rumour at the time was that he asked for more money and cut himself in a "slip and fall" when they turned him down.

Also there's this:

quote:

On October 4, 2008, prominent EliteXC fighter Kimbo Slice lost via early knockout to late replacement fighter Seth Petruzelli. The unexpected outcome of this fight drew a great deal of attention, and subsequent comments by Petruzelli that he was offered a monetary bonus to employ certain techniques during the fight (comments he later recanted and obfuscated), raised the question of undue influence by EliteXC representatives in fights. Significant debt incurred by parent company Pro Elite with no investors or buyers showing interest[8] caused the subsequent cancellation of the November 8, 2008 event. Combined with the Florida State Athletic Commission launching an investigation into the Slice/Petruzelli fight, Pro Elite announced on October 20, 2008 that they would cease operations.

This went down in front of nearly 4.6 million viewers on CBS and I can't recall anyone putting MMA on network TV until "Sometimes These Things Happen In MMA".

Organized crime response in Brazil has been better and more organized than most US governmental response, though. Going from Brazil to the USA is like leaving the frying pan for the fire.
