This is a bit random, but something I actually love about Jones...

[WhatTehH]

Miss rampage

 

[Egészségére!]

 

[BLIND]

My thoughts exactly.

Dana and Jon's reactions are priceless.

Jon's sourpuss face could not have been scripted better. Perfection lol

 

[The Chosen]

True. People use to use it against him like he was intimidated but it's the opposite. He doesn't even want to acknowledge them. Fedor was similar in his face offs. Just looking through or past people like they weren't even there. It's a stoic approach to face-offs. It's very different from the people that can't make contact because they are all wound up and shakey, that's from people intimidated. Jones and Fedor are calm and just chillin. Completely different vibe. It's like they are just waiting to turn the switch on.

I disagree with calling it stoicism, it’s more like you give yourself an air of superiority

Nah it's stoic, because it's emotionless. That's just the assumptions from other people and how they want to view it. But both Fedor and Jones are calm and emotionless in their face-offs. They aren't trying to do anything to intimidate, just there in the moment. They are prepared for whatever happens so they are just calm and nothing is triggering anything for them. They just respond accordingly if something does happen during the face-offs. Other than that, just stoicism.

Rampage punked him hard on that one. Jon was visibly annoyed that his special faceoff became a laughing stock, even if for a few moments.

I'm sure he lost a lot of sleep over that.

Epictetus was a stoic and a slave in ancient Greece, Nietzsche criticized stoicism as being a form of Slave Morality because you do not want to project emotions because your life is inherently bad

The concept of slave morality is nonsense, but you are right stoicism is a stupid philosophy. In this case though stoic is being used as an adjective. There are some cases where it is useful to be "stoic."

 

[drummr]

Still one of the best and funniest moments in MMA

 

[STRYDG]

I find Yans funny, looks so odd

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

He can't face his opponents just like he can't face himself.

 

[Coolkid666]

Well at least his gf knows to duck when he starts looking away

 

[linvillegorge]

Jones is a phenomenal fighter but I honestly lost interest post-"pulsing". They literally made up an excuse on the fly for this dude to fight while failing PED tests and moved a card from Vegas to Cali on barely a weeks' notice because Nevada wouldn't license him. Nah, I'm out.

That side think he does. It's great.
There's something really demeaning about turning to the side and not even making eye contact with the opponent. It's like saying "you don't even matter, you're just another piece of this picture to me". Plus eye contact is kinda overstated in these face offs nowadays. .

Just wanted to share.
Love you

Jones just doesn't want to look into the eyes he's about to poke from someone's skull before a fight, the sooner I stop seeing his name and he disappears into irrelevancy the better.
He's a massive dickbag.

 

[Captain Herb]

Surprised this isn't a psychological breakdown about how Jon's lack of eye contact proves he's a classic Narcissist/Sociopath

No need. It's already been proved

 

[Poirierfan]

You can really tell Jon's was on something in the Cormier and Gus pics, geez. I personally don't believe he ever stopped using.

Proven? Meaning what? How?

Assumptions on his end. Some people are ruled by their emotions, stoicism has it in check. You think rationally first and move your emotions to the side so you can see/think clearly.

 

[Captain Herb]

Jon Jones is a narcissist and a sociopath, he's proved it over and over. It's very clear to see in his actions, both large and small. On the one hand, it makes him a better fighter, on the other hand it makes him a shitty human. Deal with it.

So you have no proof lol

He reminds me of Darryl Strawberry, you would've been the guy back in the day saying he is a sociopath, irredeemable, POS. Now he has gotten his shit together, some people have demons.
