5 Defining Moments: Jon Jones

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Already on the short list of greatest mixed martial artists of all-time, Jon Jones continues to build and fortify his legacy in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Jones has left one beaten contemporary after another in his destructive wake, from Quinton Jackson, Ryan Bader and Lyoto Machida to Glover Teixeira, Vitor Belfort and Anthony Smith. Still just 35 years old—he turns 36 in July—the Rochester, New York, native looks to have plenty of story left to tell.

ONE defining moment: Jon Jones

Spoiler

 

[Sweater of AV]

1. First failed test
2. Second failed test
3. Third failed test
4. Fourth failed test
5. Fifth failed test

Bonus moment: When he cried.

Extra bonus moment: When he said he was too scared to fight DC at HW.

One more for the road: When Dana told Jon to move down to MW instead of fight Francis and Jon actually agreed.

Jones is the only fighter I have ever seen make a man tap to strikes long after the beating was done. Do you know how bad that ass whipping hurt to tap 5 seconds after the ref drags him off your carcass? He was GOAT from that day forward

Sherdog got it right.

They aren't tears of remorse, just regret for getting caught.
You're not a fight fan if you don't consider his suspensions and according to the rules he should have been banned for life years ago.

Jon was never any good. Just another cheating pin cushion.

You tried to insult people who have a different perspective than you. Too weak to stand on your own two or two dumb to understand people have different views than you? Which is it pal? Your opinion on Jones doesn’t bother me. It’s that extra lame shit

UFC isn't even a sport and you somehow think every fighter should riod up and see who can get the biggest muscles right?

Sure Buddy, projection via triggering.

I didn’t say any of that nor state an opinion on roids. Are you that desperate that instead of asking someone what their opinion is on a matter you make up conversation that never occurred to get your win?

Don't forget the hiding under the Winklejon cage from USADA.

Let the countdown commence til his next suspension and the following revisionism for the next couple of years.

Add, rinse, repeat.
