Media Found the clip Jones was triggered about.

[nonoob]

It would enough for Jon's "Looking For a Slight" mentality.

Jon's kids had to call 911 to get him to stop beating "his bloody baby mama".

Jon's kids already KNOW exactly what he is.


Stipe has had nothing to do with poor little Jonny, the sympathy seeking "victim".

Jon Jones is clearly a psychopath
Idk why you are trying to make sense out of what he says

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

People speculating it's this:

Jones is so insecure and (easily) triggered that he legit took Stipe saying that Stipe doesn't want Stipe's kids to think that their dad (Stipe) is an asshole for talking trash. . . and literally projected it onto himself as a personal insult. SMH

On the one hand, I don't care about this fight and don't think it's important at all. . . . and on the other hand, Jones getting humbled in the twilight of his career by an actual good person who's already retired. . . [chef's kiss]

 

[g*r*b]

I bet the parts before and after that clip would really fill in the blanks.

I'd take that bet and I'm pretty damn sure your money, too.

 

[g*r*b]

It’s so ironic one of the best fighters in the world is so incredibly insecure.

I don't think it's so ironic. It can be cause and effect, even. Someone who's insecure might strive to be better in some aspect, to try and feel more secure, but can never be satisfied so they always end up striving further, harder until they're the best or most successful in their field. Except even then it doesn't quiet the gnawing rat of doubt.

I almost — almost — feel pity for Jones even if he wins this fight. Jon may get the belt but it's Stipe who won the happy life.

The video that has Jon Jones so up in arms about Stipe.

Apologies if this has already been shared in one of the other 37 billion Stipe/JJ threads. I'm lazy and don't feel like reading/searching.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Don’t believe a word Jon says. Your fight record has more credibility ffs.

OK I've found the point in the interview, it's timestamped, so you can judge yourself.



The topics before started with the interviewers stirring up Jones shit. Cohost asks if Stipe if he thought Jon was faking the pec injury, Stipe having to go "no..maybe..I wasn't there at the time how do I know" stuff. Rampage talks about how Jon had a spy in his camp and Stipe comments "that's fucking shitty I guess if you ain't cheating you ain't trying, but.." Then Rampage asks if Stipe will be the first fight after Jon comes back. Then, do you think you get enough respect, which leads into the quote in question.

I...guess Jon could think his name was still in the air and therefore on Stipe's mind? But it's a damn far reach.

Maybe we should just be relieved that Jon didn't think the joke of ordering "cream of Some Young Guy" (which opens the whole thing) was meant for him.

"Just another fighter that hates me for no reason" - Jon Jones

 

[FrankDux]

I mean, Stipe has a point. He's clearly talking about the Conors, Jones, Covingtons etc....if Stipe was this super loud/obnoxious personality that constantly got put in the headlines for doing provocative shit, then Stipe might get more street cred/respect among the casuals (be/c they're the ones who ultimately move the needle in PPV buys/view counts/clicks etc).

Completely reasonable take on Stipe's part. However, I would like to hear the previous 3-5 minutes convo before this statement was made. That's crucial.

Rampage asks if Stipe will be the first fight after Jon comes back. Then, do you think you get enough respect, which leads into the quote in question.

Literal comparison directly ties to the brilliance of the Shakespeare line of "doth protest too much".

NEVER was Jon mentioned in Stipe's response.​

Why did Stipe's response to the question cause Jones to angrily respond?

Same reasoning that made Jones viciously beat the mother of his children,

poor little Jonny felt disrespected in his own weak mind.

Ain't your inflated ego a bitch, Jon?

 

[TerraRayzing]

So does Jones lack comphrension skills or is the dude actually using his kids to build up this fight? Either way, yiiikes.

 

[VinceArch]

What is it that I'm missing here?

 

[blaseblase]

LMAO this has nothing to do with Jones. No wonder Stipe was confused, he was just explaining why he doesn't trash talk.

 

[gentel]

Oh man, so Stipe says he doesn't talk trash so his kids don't grow up thinking their dad's an a-hole, and Jones hears this and instantly thinks it's a comment about him and his kids

Stipe not shooting any bullets but Jones still catching strays from himself

 

[Uber_Noober]

He never referenced Jones kids, if that’s what Jon is thinking, he needs to get his ears cleaned out.

 

[blaseblase]

Also lol at Jones watching Stipe appear on a random podcast. You know Stipe isn't doing that.

 

[Thy]

jones is such an egomaniac sociopath

 

[Dacha]

Stipe is all good.
