Rewatch Jones vs DC off air camera beef - Extended cut

[Bobby Boulders]

True rivals.

 

[Luthien]

Oh yes, I will catch that for sure!

Awesome

 

[Bushpig]

Jon's face when he realizes the cameras still rolling. The fake Christian act

It's disgusting. The dude is practically Homelander right now.

 

[Raptors2019]

Right after shit went off the rails here

LOL is that Jon Anik.

 

[MCarpo]

Interesting to hear DC say, “I felt Malki’s punch more than yours.” Does that mean Jon’s manager also took a shot at DC during the fracas?

 

[Xanzito]

I get a kick out of Jones. He has darkness in him but is always trying to be a good person, it’s just does not come naturally. It’s what makes him a savage and so talented. People really underestimate how cerebral he is and how intelligent he is, and the darkness in him

He does, if not for the sport, Jones would prolly be mixed up in drugs, assault, and all kinds of criminal acts.

 

[Kryptt]

Always a fun stroll down memory lane!

 

[IneedSometop]

He was so far under DCs skin it’s unreal.

the “I’m not saying I will fight you, I said I will kill you” is cold blooded I don’t doubt if DC would have spit in Jones’ face that DC would not be with us and Jones would be in prison

It's disgusting. The dude is practically Homelander right now.

That's actually an apt reference

Jon said he was 220-223 LBs in this video and we had people saying he was a natural LHW leading up to his HW debut

"Natural" doesn't mean you walk around at weigh-in weight. It means with a reasonable weight cut, you fit into the division. You're not killing yourself to get to a lower weight, and you're not fighting up a class just because you can't be bothered to lose some fat. The fact that Jones had to put on 30 pounds of muscle/fat just to fit in at heavyweight should tell you all you need to know. That's not his natural weight class. That's a weight class he only got to with several years of deliberate effort and dietary/workout changes.

Consider Rashad Evans. He debuted in the UFC at 224 pounds, and fought at heavyweight. I don't think there's a sensible person in the world that would call him a "natural heavyweight" (particularly since he even made MW for a couple of fights).

 

[TITS]

"Evil Jon" with the beard was a mythical creature.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

This for some reason just popped up in my YouTube feed, and I chuckled.

Regardless of which one of these guys is your fave, or your despised, I think most of us can agree this is one of the most legit beefs and rivalries the UFC has ever had, between two super high level fighters.

The back and forth here was both hilarious as well as pretty ferocious. Haha

Incredulous Cormier is born, along with Jones' sinister smirk.

Epic moment behind the scenes reminisced.

Great thread as always my friend!

This was pretty fucking brutal lol!!!

 

[liver.shot]

The old tommy toe hold remix:

"Respectfully"

 

[JangoMike]

This shit gets funnier all the time.....Jones needs to lean into this more.

 

[orca]

dc was so pissed u can actualy see it on his face.got trashtalked by jon

 

[Buff]

That’s my favourite picture of Jon ever. The only time he was truly being himself because he didn’t know cameras were rolling

“hey pussy, you there pussy?” Is one of the greatest mma quotes ever, only to be replied to with “yeah I’m here Jon”

DC gave up any chance he had of winning the argument, or the fight the moment he answered "yes" to the question "hey pussy are you still there?".

 

[Phisher]

Was so sure this would do 1 million PPV buys...

I might have if it hadn't gotten postponed for Jones's injury.

I remember several people I knew who didn't care about MMA at all laughing about this and asking when the fight was.

 

[NMcCauley]

I still don't get how someone could think DC is the good guy in this story. It is so obvious that his soul is rotten by envy and hate towards Jones. DC sucks.

But he is also a top 10 GOAT, no question about it.

This is the REAL Jones.

I wish hed just be himself on camera instead of the Christian bullshit

Very well said, he is a fascinatingly complicated guy, an entire epic going on within himself. God level athletic genetics, multiple sources of trauma and conflict, very intelligent but looked down on. Part of him wants to be a "good" person, but he also can't deny the darkness inside of him so he feeds it and embraces the power it gives him to be the greatest fighter ever.
