Jon is good at mind games, he does it in a way people are not familiar with. After he's done with this, he will take the rest what's left of you inside the Octagon without remorse.

A lot of people saying he sounds "fake" or "generic". Hes just a normal guy, who happens to train in martial arts. And he may not be the nicest, greatest, most honest person ever. But hes the #1 cage fighter, you need to be a brutal savage to survive as long as he has.

[@i5C0R3Pi0N]

I wouldn't consider Jon as "normal", though. He can't be normal, there is something off about this guy and that's (and many other things) what makes him special.

They worship satin😳🔫

[@ANGRYGREEKMANYO]

@@honda116969 no they don't. Jones is a strong Christian. His dad's a pastor and his team and he pray to Christ in the cage every practice. Lol. Yeah maybe he is a little sociopathic. So am I. Doesn't mean anything no one is perfect

[@fredrickwilliams293]

Why does everyone that is successful in any profession have to be a Satan worshiper? Can someone just be successful from working hard and training?

[@poatan6304]

actually Can't judge when Jones is being honest or just putting up a facade. GOAT fr sure, n nothg wrong in someone trying to be better, kudos to him, more power to him, but just difficult to know the man

[@bryannelson4400]

The last 5 mins of the interview was very interesting and inspirational

[@wadecohagan2388]

Ariel he's still smoking weed stop trying to make him say it lol

[@scottmescudi3423]

Really a great interview, Jon Jones is something else man, once in a lifetime talent and the GOAT without a doubt. Every piece of the puzzle is a very important piece, or else you got no masterpiece at the end.

[@eIicit]

This is an amazing interview.

[@bespokeonsitespraysolution397]

Superb interview Ariel. Jon bones jones is one absolutely beautiful human being. Loved every minute of this. .. I could listen to the champ talk all day long I love him

[@NICKTASCHYAN]

I’d rather see Stipe vs Jones than DC vs Stipe 3 tbh

[@murmurha2084]

you can understand he is mentaly superior over his oponents when it comes to prepare and focus himself to the fight, also he is diverse in his art, that's why i can call him genious,

[@haydesgraham138]

u got my respect bones!! i hear your words...u have become very professional in your interviews and perception of the game and where u see yourself..too cool my bro! even tho im a izzy fan coz he was brought up in my home town of ROTORUA,Ive been a fan of yours since you begun in this sport years ago bro🤙🤙

[@kalabaniu]

Really gratefull for all the picograms

[@puntsize]

Jones still parties hard, he just doesn’t drive home while drunk and high anymore

[@MMAjsf7]

puntsize this didn’t age well

[@RKFCGSBGK]

Spoke too soon.

[@Avbomb22]

😂

[@slasaus1]

Haha Jones admitting he will still have a good evening the weekend prior to the fight. Good on him! It's all abt balance. Santos 3x the better opponent and Reyes insulting Jon means one thing imho, a quick finish by Bones.

[@cdz4293]

He seems to want to permanently harm people instead..I seen that in his last fight

[@tony2300]

Santos 3x better than Reyes. I don’t think so

[@Rya_N33]

Is that what your mom told you

[@slasaus1]

@@Rya_N33 talking to me? jon told me santos is the 3x better opponent

[@vaden706]

I have ASPD and it's so clear Jon does as well. Not just from the interview but his actions in contrast to his words. Jon=🐐

[@o-townminideals3104]

That last part was amazing!!!

[@HereticalPuppy]

Its weird to look a jon's arm after forgetting he has super long arms. My man could scratch his ankles from standing straight up

Great Great Interview/ Interaction, Jon Jones, The Greatest in the history of the World is ready, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

[@mikebarrett3982]

Jon seems to have really matured. This interview was very interesting.

[@richardbaron2948]

Jon Jones is such an exciting and creative fighter to watch. I cannot see Jones being beaten any time in the near future. The guy is such a gifted martial artist.

[@tomasbermudas793]

Reyes gon find out what level hes really at

[@kinginfinite8748]

Ya his ground game gonna get exposed, high school wrestling is not equal or greater then mma wrestling. That Jones world

[@ablesanchez1035]

Y'all idiots are thinking he's not training wrestling?? Casuals... That's why people don't want to take him down. Or they can't because he lays them all out.

[@kinginfinite8748]

@@ablesanchez1035 haha we will see bro. Sound like you rooting for reyes. He a good counter puncher but Jones gonna kick him to death like everyone else
