Jon Jones on obsessing over accolades, belts, rank, and stature

[AmonTobin]

"As a warrior I think it's dangerous to become obsessed with accolades and belts and rank and stature. I think it's more about the day-to-day lifestyle of being a warrior."

An interesting quote from Jones in 2011. Has Jones abandoned this philosophy? I wonder what today's Jones would tell 2011 Jones.

All I know is put anyone in a room with Jon Jones and I guarantee Jon walks about of that room.

No he still loves spouting dumb ass bible things and shit ten years later.
What in your mind even turned it into a question?

Especially at the time of one's career when there's far more to look back on than look forward to.

I just think its funny, I don't know why Jon would be in a room with anyone, or why anyone would want to be in a room with that colossal piece of shit lmao

Not Tom Aspinall.

Jon Jones obsessing over accomplishments and you're obsessing over him

 

[orca]

he was hungrier back then
you can ask gsp too why he didnt fight at drug testing era
and waited years just to add 15 lbs to fight at MW
then retire because he doesnt wanna defend it atleast 1 time?

any sane human would do the same too if they where in jones shoes

just imagine fighting title fights wiping out 2 generations of fighters
the best of the best the world has to offer
even in his bored D level version they cant beat him
his worst version almost crippled reyes lmfao


do you want jones to fight in his 40s and 50s?
just admit it

 

[mjoln]

You fucking better be obsessed if you want to have career like that

 

[orca]

Not Tom Aspinall.

Put Jon Jones in a room with P Diddy, what happens then? That's the real question. I think Diddy would have a hard time in that situation.

 

[laleggenda27]

Jones' actions have never been congruent with his words, so analyzing the things he says is a useless endeavor.

 

[CannotWin]

That is all he has in his life. Once his fighting career is over, Jon will have a broken family amd his addiction problems. He will spiral.

 

[KO Shotz]

Jon is retiring after the Stipe fight. That's why he is being the way he's being. He has nothing else to prove anymore & is justifying it by reiterating what he's done throughout his career.
