(VIDEO) Ariel Helwani with some harsh and real words about Jon Jones

[13Seconds]

2:52:47


"I don't mind if my son has a Stephen Thompson, Chris Weidman or a Daniel Cormier poster in his room. I don't know if i can say that about Jon Jones at this point, just given what we know about him.

Yes people deserve second chances and you don't want to kick a man while he's down. I get that, but the facts are the facts, the history is the history.

Reclamation projects are great, comebacks are great, but you know what else is great? People who just do right and don't mess up too."

Shame, Jones was one of the first to defend him when he was crying like a 6 year old on his show.

"NOBODY EVEN STUCK UP FOR ME" Fight your own damn battles, Ariel.

Hell be acting nice to him the next time jones is on his show.

You can tell that Ariel just wants the best for Jon. He's just telling it like it is.

Cheap move from Ariel, after Jon Jones spoke out in his defense when the UFC booted him out, Jon said he'd always have time for Ariel and would always be willing to speak to him/give an interview and that he (Ariel) has always been fair and kind to him.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Wasnt very harsh TBH

 

[trblesome1]

I get it what he is saying and his job is to discuss what is going on in MMA but damn Jones just stood up for Ariel when he was going through his trouble

Wasnt very harsh TBH

For Helwani standards. Also not used to public mma figures speak about Jones like this.

I Think its good. He doesnt need anymore yes men near him imo

 

[blackhat]

Weasel Helwani at it again.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Jon Jones has mental problems.

 

[Hans Gruber]

Wasnt very harsh TBH

 

[surgeyou1]

Not harsh at all. It's the truth.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Didn't see harsh to me, just seemed like he was saying it as it is.

 

[Co-Co Zola]

I for one thought it was harsh, the whole not wanting your child to have a Jon Jones poster is a low blow.

You call that Harsh? thought it was pretty tame tbh

I wouldn't want anyone who always said nothing but good things about me (even though i made mistakes), to turn on me and say he doesn't even want face in his kids bedroom anymore.

Just think about it.

 

[Spycho]

Stick with sucking up to GSP and CM Punk, Ariel.

 

[Sirwastealot]

Ariel isn't getting any shekels off Jones anymore

Time to cast him aside

Could ariel have any less character

It's not like Jones is some kind of victim here that needs support. He's made these mistakes over and over again so he's pretty much brought this on himself. I don't understand why Ariel should be expected to defend Jones at this point.

 

[I see stiffness]

well done Ariel.

Having twice been done for DUI, including crashing into a pregnant woman, running from the scene of a crime, taking coke, then testing positive, Jones would probably say himself he shouldnt be on anyones bedroom wall.
