I mean, to be fair to Mike, he did his time and seemed to have turned his life completely around after that for the better. Jon Jones is an unrepentant piece of poo poo.

I mean, "after that" is kind of accurate but a bit misleading because there was still ten-fifteen years of biting ears and eating children and spinal and such between A and B

Per the criminal summons, the woman told police of Jones: "I just don't want to deal with this person. I think he is a loving piece of poo poo. The whole situation is so complicated and I'm not really sure what to say and this person gets away with loving everything."

The amusing part is if Jones went full Jordan, he’d have a hell of a lot more fans. Or at least back before his multiple out of the octagon offences

Instead it was meditating in the park, snitch on weed smokers, love Jesus Snowball King. Early Jon Jones just being himself, an egotistical bastard much like Jordan, would have endeared him to more people.

Then he could just ruin it all with the felonies but we’d be sitting there going “well at least he’s keeping it real.”

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
“Some of the videos are coming back. I’ve seen some videos. I don’t want to talk about it cause I don’t want to hurt his case or whatever but it’s unfortunate, let’s put it that way,” White told TSN in Canada. “When you’re famous, these types of things happen to you.

“From what I’ve seen so far, when it all surfaces and comes to the top, it looks good for Jon. It looks very good for Jon Jones. It’s quite sad actually.”


Remember when White said that whatshisname was going to make the fight despite literally being held by police in jail.

I wouldn't call Jones' fights incredible. On his path to the title he was extremely aggressive and you got to see a lot of his fantastic clinch takedowns and top game. Nowadays he plays things much more passively, relying on his striking range and only occasionally mixing in the entertaining parts. The fights will often feel good to watch the first time as there's the undercurrent of irrational hope we'll see him humbled. But they're nothing you'd want to rewatch
