Just as Jon Jones was caught up in the moment following his submission win over Lyoto Machida, so too was trainer Greg Jackson when he told his fighter to “go check on Lyoto – get some fans.”
“I shouldn’t have spoken in that way, but that wasn’t my intention,” Jackson today told MMAjunkie.com. “It sounded bad, but moronic [expletive] comes out of my mouth sometimes.”
The intention, he said, wasn’t to be political but to remind Jones to conduct himself honorably inside the cage.
