Israel Adesanya: Jon Jones’ behavior is ‘embarrassing’ but ‘fun for me to watch because he’s a pos.

[Miiiiiiighty]

Izzy throwing bombs

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Lol at "refuses"

Econoromero needs to manage his Cardio as best he can,being the old fossil that he is.

Youd think with that chemistry experiment he has going for blood right now it would allow him to be able to wrestle for 5 rounds...could be wrong though

 

[Paladin]

The more Adesanya talks the more I dislike him. His eventual downward spiral will be fantastic and I can't wait to see him crumble.

 

[TimeisNOW]

Izzy has no self-awareness at all. Throws out some misogynist religious bigotry along with other random hypocrisy. At least he admits he's not perfect. lol

if you're a male and using that word you should be ashamed.

 

[Dreyga_King of Sherbums]

Stopped reading at "being a black man"... so, Jon has to do this shit cuz he's black? The cops planted Jones' in the suv with alcohol, drugs and a gun cuz he's black? Essentially... Jon was arrested for being black, again? Weird

That ain’t what he’s trying to say. Izzy and DC are saying it is sad to see a prominent black athlete like Jon struggle with the law because it has a negative impact on the black community and helps feed stereotypes.

Its true tho, the chicks with the cross around their neck are usually the most fucked up, thats a pattern i have noticed, the more people act or advertise how perfect they are, the worse they actually are behind the mask.

But that's not what he said. He didn't say Catholic school girls who pretend to be chaste and virginal are actually "sex mad", or "into really freaky shit", or "nymphomaniacs", none of which are in any way insulting or something to be ashamed of. He said they get some freedom and they become "whores" which is both extremely insulting and misogynistic. It doesn't matter whether Izzy is only PRETENDING to be a bigoted, xenophobic, misogynistic piece of shit, or if he actually IS one, he is still spouting plenty of hate speech which plenty of fans who ARE sexist, racist bigots will take at face value. These fans will then feel further emboldened to push sexist/racist ideologies publicly and commit sexist/racist acts, harming people in the process.

I'm not saying Izzy doesn't have every right to say whatever he wants in order to sell fights, but I AM saying that he should absolutely bear responsibility for the potentially extremely ugly fallout from his hate-filled remarks, AND that anyone who hears his remarks has every right to publicly criticise him for using these tactics. Freedom of speech works both ways.

 

[baba2008]

Disliking Izzy doesn't make Jon less of a POS than Izzy says, because he's right. It also doesn't make Jon less of a fighter, but he's pretty scummy as a human being, and I doubt that's going to change.

 

[NDiaz209]

So should he say nothing,and let jones call him out unanswered and let everyone say hes ducking? Cant have it both ways. Izzy ain't gonna tolerate that talk from jones.

. Izzy was the one who started this talk about how he could knock Jones out which is laughable. And Jones responded with the truth which Izzy has no business in the cage with Jones.
He should capitulate because he'll get fucking finished within two rounds.

Right.! So you're one of those guys who thinks it makes you sound edgy and tough to call women whores?

I think being called a "whore" is probably less of an insult than being called "sex mad" or a "nymphomaniac" or for being "into freaky shit". The latter doesn't really leave much room for interpretation. Call a woman that and see how they'll respond. I doubt it will be in a positive way.

At the end of the day, there's not really a nice way to describe someone who's obsessed with sex and debauchery, and completely unfaithful in relationships. It is what it is, nobody's ever going to see it as a positive trait.

Plenty of men have been called "whores" too.

 

[generalyum]

Unfortunate but true. Funny how that is

Izzy could have called Jones a whore and no one would have given a shit. Instead, he launched a sweeping analogy that just showed off his own bigoted mindset.

You're both painfully wrong. Izzy is referring to himself as a "young black man" as if it's some special class of person. Izzy is using race in a pretentious way to bolster his argument. You come off equally ignorant by implying Jones money and fame makes him the moral example for his entire race.

The only ones that are getting offended by his comments are soyboys like you, this is sherdog, nobody gives a fuck about izzy calling jon jones a catholic whore, it was a funny analogy , i just happen to know a lot of heavily religious girls that are whory, the exact opposite of what religion preaches, its the hypocrisy thats funny, not theme being whores.

That's essentially what he's calling him.

ADESANYA:

“I think Dominick [Reyes] really showed what I’ve been saying about Jones. He’s washed,” Adesanya said. “I’ve been saying he’s washed but no one was listening. I’ve said it. He’s washed.

ROMERO FIGHT

 

[Vegesus44]

misogynist religious bigotry

Stupid comments like that are becoming his forte.

Look who's talking...

Right.! So you're one of those guys who thinks it makes you sound edgy and tough to call women whores?

The fact you associate whores with women speaks volumes... There is nothing misogynistic about the way he used the word.
It's not like he chokes out strippers for telling him to fuck off....

He made a sweeping generalization comparing Jones to Catholic school girls. If you can't see that, you're an idiot.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Izzy gets brutalized by Jones at 205. Izzy called him “washed” but Jones washes him like a dish if they fight. He needs to focus on the monumental tasks in his division first.

It a trope.
