It takes a certain amount of self-confidence to fight in front of thousands of screaming fans, but there is definitely a fine line between confidence and cockiness—and some believe that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has crossed that line.
The dominant kid from New York has quickly risen through the ranks in the UFC in a way no other fighter has accomplished before. He not only completely dominated every fight he has been in for the organization, but at 24 years old, he is also the youngest fighter to ever hold UFC gold.
Along with the meteoric rise of his career, however, many believe that Jones’ demeanor has also changed.
Critics would say he has transformed from being a humble, green fighter, who was thankful for the opportunity to fight in the UFC, into an arrogant individual who has lost all sense of what it means to be humble and believes that he is unstoppable.
But as cocky as Jones can be at times, he is still growing into his place as one of the cockiest fighters in UFC history. There are others who have actually been more obnoxious than the current UFC light heavyweight champion.
