Jon Jones - A Tragedy Waiting To Happen

No you're not; you can't wait to watch that Jon Jones crime documentary.

Weirdo.
 
I think Gus1 gave him CTE, no shit. Add that to his compulsive personality...
 
The biggest tragedy is that Jon was ever born.

Jon Jones and his brother Chandler have both shown signs of serious mental health struggles, and it’s hard not to wonder if their careers in brutal, high-contact sports play a role. Jon has spoken about dealing with anxiety, memory loss, and panic attacks, some of which were visible during his 2020 DWI arrest, where he seemed overwhelmed and disoriented. He’s also admitted to relying on alcohol and drugs to numb what he described as emotional pain, leading to his multiple arrests.

Jons brother, Chandler’s situation took a sharp turn in 2023, when he had multiple public breakdowns, was placed on the NFL’s non-football illness list, and ended up hospitalized. A lot of people suspect repeated head trauma might be a factor. The patterns between the two, memory issues, emotional instability, erratic behavior, paint a picture that’s hard to ignore, it seems to come with years of physical punishment, and damage to the brain.

I personally, am scared for Jon Jones, and his family. I believe they are not in a good place, and I am worried for Jones going forward. There is definitely something going on with that family, because both Jon and Chandler show extremely troubling signs of mental unclarity, anguish, leading to drug problems and arrests.

If Jon Jones is doing these things, while he is the 'Goat' of MMA, holding multiple championships, supposed to be living his best life, what will the next 5, 10 years look like for him? I am very concerned.

Remember that time the cops found Jones sitting in his car in downtown Albuquerque with a gun, drunk as a skunk, despondent, 'talking to the homeless' and had fired a shot in the air? That's the only time I genuinely felt sorry for Jon because I believe he was contemplating suicide. The one shot was either a test of his courage or a cry for help.

A lot of these clowns think its funny to hope Jon Jones dies, or say he's a piece of shit.
But I personally feel bad for Jones, I am empathetic towards him and his struggles. Nobody wants to be an alcoholic, or have a cocaine problem. The man obviously has little, to no control over his life. These sherbros think it's funny to see someone slowly killing themselves, but anyone with a room temp IQ , and a smidge of emotional intelligence, can see the writing on the wall and we know what happens with guys who are mentally unstable, with substance problems, it's going to end in death or jail and I genuinely feel sorry that he can not help himself and I made this thread almost as a way to make myself feel better, to cope... I've been watching Jones since I was a boy.

I just feel like being a MMA fan, creating a sherdog account, just to wish death on a fighter is pretty fucked, I don't think Jon did anything to warrant deserving to die, but if that's how you feel.

I get it but it's also hard to overlook all the people he's hurt along the way. I don't want him to die but I definitely don't want others to die either

Your comprehension skills are lacking, I've done no such thing.
 
A tragedy implies that something of value is at risk of being lost
 
He always seems to slither out of any real consequences for his horrible choices, so he very well could get out of control when he no longer has any training or anything coming up, but it's also possible that hitting his 40s could mellow him out some.

he's been a train wreck the whole time, it goes back to before he had the brain trauma. he's an immature child who shows all the symptoms of serious entitlement. he's been coddled all along and when you spoil a kid that bad, there's no going back.

however now that he isn't some hotshot ufc star i have a feeling that reality is going to come crashing down for the first time in a while and he's in for a real awakening.

Exactly. He's still running away every time he gets in a car accident.

He won't learn from his mistakes and it's going to catch up with him now that he's retired. The UFC won't help protect him anymore.
