Lol Jon Jones "glad" that McGregor loss

[Actualized174]

"I was getting fans writing me messages asking 'How would you do against McGregor?'" he said. "I was like 'C'mon guys, you can't be serious. I'm a 220 lb, 9-time world champion. You really think he'd even be a match?' Some people really believed that he can beat anyone at any weight class."

"So I'm glad that it happened," he continued. "It allowed the fans to have that reality check, that alright, maybe that guy isn't unbeatable -- stuff that us professional fighters knew the whole time."

Jones then went on to explain the other reason he's happy to see the UFC featherweight champ take a loss.

"Then another side of me, is glad to see him lose, because I'm positive this is actually going to bring out the best in him," he said. "After defeat, you really start closing holes in your game, you start questioning your training to become better."

Maybe a polite way of saying 'fire Portal and go train with a real team'?

The entire world was happy seeing Mcgregor eat some humble pie. Nothing better than seeing someone that obnoxious and annoying get bitch slapped around and choked out.

as a small guy myself, Jones was dead on here. It's crazy to think a 145 lb champ can compete above his weightclass. at 155, Conor can probably put on some good fights, beat some midtier guys (like how Anderson destroyed Irvin, Bonnar and Griffin) but he shouldn't be in the same sentence as Robbie Lawler, who is throwing leather and taking names against top WWs.

Turns out touch-butt doesn't work in the UFC after all

Well most people are glad when the most overrated fighter in MMA history loses, besides his delusional half retarded fan base.

I mean, they're still claiming he would of beat RDA which is fucking hilarious. It's like if a guy lost to Ryan Bader on 11 days notice but people still claimed he'd beat Jones.

Most people are shitting on Conor because of his retarded fans, not because Conor. Conor is pretty cool, but his fans are just the worst ever. 99% of the shit talk on Conor right now is due to his fans.

Bones is always money when he talks about stuff like this. He really is the smartest guy in the world that does the dumbest shit.

Many times.. the smartest people lack common sense.

Jones isn't glad if you actually read the content of the article. Click bait title.

Nate isn't even a top 10 LW so he did lose to a mid tier LW (even though truthfully I don;t consider him mid tiered...anyone that is Top 20 in the world is hard to consider mid tiered)

Sherdog still doesn't have Nate ranked Top 10 even after the Conor win. Ignore the bogus official UFC rankings.

 

[passa]

He is right

 

[Mr. Hammer]

Huge Conor fan here and I don't like being lumped in with the people who thought he'd stand a chance vs Jones. Those people are casuals on the scale of all the old Rousey fans but Conor does in fact have a large hardcore following too.
