What is truly sad is that I wish that it were possible to be a fan of Jon Jones.
It sucks to despise a fighter so incredbly gifted and intelligent.
But he chooses to be an @hole, cheater, and all around garbage human.
I would have been happy to find a way to follow as I followed Fedor to his greatness. I could have passed the "baton" in my fandom to Jon Jones.
He is undeniably consequential to MMA history, but can never BE the greatest IMHO because of his very own machinations.
And yes, I do hold it against him.
Minus all of the madness, cheating, and classless conduct, he might have become my favorite fighter of all time. It genuinely sucks that I cannot be.
I am a nobody, and I know this, but either way he gives me what to judge him on as a man.
