Media Jon Jones training rugby in Australia

[13Seconds]

Look a few comments up

As you said, troll fans.

Defend or vacate.

What a fucking clown. He’s sitting out injured. Causing an Interim Title to be made. Waiting til Stipe is even older, and further removed from fighting.

Cowardly ducked every HW for years, now it's Stipe's turn, with Dana's help.

 

[acannxr]

Quite the coincidence that the UFC got rid of USADA for the beginning of 2024 and he suddenly got “injured” for his title fight at the end of 2023. Now he’s playing sports like nothing happened.

And he’s in Australia doing this?

But it's a game that'd be easy on the injured shoulder, right?

rugby is the best base for mma

Jones better be careful he’s got seagull legs and they’d get snapped right off his corpse if he played rugby

 

[Arm Barbarian]

So much for all his devastating "injuries."

Juicehead beyond being a pathological cheater, is a pathological BS artist.

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

I don't like fat Jones, skinny Jones was better

Rugby League*

There is a massive difference between Rugby League and Rugby Union.. Rugby League requires much better cardio and coaches have utilised wrestling and even BJJ techniques for almost 20 years now. Some teams even have dedicated wrestling and BJJ coaches.

It's actually been a very controversial evolution of the game as by nature Rugby League is much faster paced than Rugby Union.. these techniques have been used to slow down the play and put the attacker on their back as they're being tackled.. back in the day you'd be aiming for a dominant tackle like what Jones did in that video but now you have people holding onto different body parts and twisting in all sorts of directions. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot more fighters with a Rugby League background making the transition in the future

Rehab. Not injured.

Yeah rehabbing without an injury makes sense

That’s why Dana loves him, they are akin.

not impressed. try tackling a Polynesian player if you want some clout.

Seems Jones's injury is as real as Colby's broken foot is.

So not at all.

no his injury is real, they just reported it wrong. it's his ego that's injured and the only way to fix it is to defend his "title" vs 60 yr old Stipe.

Well, we already knew his ego is injured. It's a recurring one. Very serious.

Dude replies to and argues with twitter nobodies with 4 followers who say Khabib is GOAT. It's not even like he searches his name because these people don't mention Jones. He must search "GOAT" on twitter lmao.

I'm loving Jon at heavyweight. Has all these dweebs pissed off. Guess what, Jons the best, and he'll take his sweet time if he wants to. He was just testing his shoulder out before he returns to training.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Jon Jones is much better at rugby with that spinebuster tackle than he is at basketball

There was a video of him throwing the ball (think they call it a lateral) and it reminded me of this clip. Amazing this dude can be so uncoordinated in seemingly every other sport except for fighting where he looks like a god.

 

[Milenkovic]

We could use someone like Jon at the Dragons, him and Blake Lawrie have the same build these days anyway
