Has Jon Jones grown on you?

[NetHazard]

Not at all. But I don't have to like the guy to see that he's probably the best LHW there is.

 

[fight4god]

I hate him more with every passing day.

This

 

[Crimson Fury]

No. I just like watching him fight, not looking for dates like most of you.

 

[trane]

There is no reason to hate Jones. He is a talented fighter and respectful person. The only people who hate him are the fanboys of Shogun, Rampage, or Machida and that's because he straight up embarrassed all three of them in the cage.

He's very arrogant and disrespectful, I'm not a fan of his antics. I respect his skills as a great fighter but he is not the type of person I will ever cheer for.

 

[WilbertoSilva]

The opposite. I liked him as he rose to the top, but have gone off him. Still a great fighter to watch though, which is the main thing.

 

[Goon Dog]

I love to watch him fight. That's all I have to say about that ...

 

[SuperNerd]

He's alright.

 

[Kanster]

Nope, never will.

Im not a fan of any of them and I dislike him, he is just too fake, cocky, and arrogant for me... Doesn't sign replica belts for small children... Drinks and drives right after saying he doesnt drink... Front knee kicks which are illegal... Always throwing out open fingers when his attackers rush in. Just seems like a spoiled cocky brat to me.

How is he arrogant and disrespectful? He's no more so than Rampage, Diaz Brothers, Chael, Benson, Anderson, Faber, etc and they all have a ton of fans. People don't like him because he destroys legends and make them look like jokes. He's too good to be true and people hate him for it. This is how you know he is a better fighter than Anderson or GSP. Jones' sheer unprecedented talent makes others bitter of his success.

This. Well said.

 

[allibaster]

I couldn't possibly care less about him as a person. At all. I love how he beats the shit out of everyone though. Wouldn't mind if he lost. Wouldn't mind if he kept winning. As long as he stays exciting and keeps smashing guys.

my sentiments exactly.

I see the opposite. I see a disciplined man who tries to be a good role model even though he knows he is not perfect.

Post above you explains a little bit. Rampage, Diaz bros and Chael are about as disrespectful, not sure why Benson, Silva or Faber are being mentioned there though.

The trouble is that his kind of disrespectful doesn't sell fights, unlike the Diaz bros and Chael.

 

[Nola213]

If anything I'm haveing a bit of an opposite reaction. I liked him alot right out of the gate. His style is so entertaining. From his fight w/ Bonnar (when I first took notice) to his run to the title.

But now he as to talk alot and when I hear him talk...., I dunno it seems fake, he try's too hard. But it is alot of pressure for such a young guy so, whatever. He's paid to fight, I pay to watch him fight, not talk, so really I could care less.

This is what I call a mancrush right here folks.

He is a cheap fighter in my opinion. Kicks to knee, sticks his fingers in people faces to they can't rush forward, he has actually headbutted people on numerous occasions.

He always talks himself up and insults other fighters(said Shogun and Bader were overrated and stuff like that, when they were being very respectful to him before the fight). Always constantly talks himself up in interviews about how he can do this, he's the best at that, he'll make sure to tell everybody how great he is any chance he gets, off the charts ego.

I'm not telling people not to like him, simply he rubs me the wrong way and I will never cheer for him.

 

[Sac423]

I always said once he acted more like himself, instead of pretending to be humble and respectful, then I'd probably begin to like him.


Back then I hated him, now I casually dislike him. He's not trying too hard all the time to be a monk anymore. But he does it enough for me to dislike him a bit. I dislike Bendo and Silva more than Jones. We'll see how long that lasts after the Chael fight lol:icon_lol:
