Having battled inner demons, failed drug tests and a New Mexico hit-and-run that nearly ended his career, Jon Jones knows a thing or two about adversity. During the early stages of his career, before “Bones” had taken up the role of heel, he had experienced some difficulties with the law. Since that time Jones became the undisputed UFC light-heavyweight champion, and stamped his name in the annuls as one of the all-time greats. Frustratingly, “Bones” didn’t leave behind his adolescence as he surpassed many of his predecessors in the record books.

Undeniably one of, if not the best fighter ever to grace the UFC octagon, Jon Jones still had a lot of growing to do outside the arena of combat. Following a failed UFC 200 drug test, the now interim champion again faced an uncertain future. Last week his lawyer revealed that Jones shad indeed taken a tainted batch of supplements, as supported by the USADA testing of the line of products. Now we wait for the hearing, and again anticipate the return of “Bones.” Thankfully for those who like to see Jones in verbal fights, he’s been getting in to it with former UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione.

‘Meathead’ left the UFC in March of this year following a brief stint as a free agent. The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights veteran had built up a 9-5 record with the promotion, but had been vocal about his displeasure over the Reebok apparel deal. Since joining Bellator, Mitrione has scored two knockout wins within three weeks of each other. Taking aim at Jon Jones on Twitter last night, ‘Meathed’ sparked a war of words with the UFC 205-pound interim boss:

That Got Ugly Real Quick

One thing is for certain, we will not see Matt Mitrione returning to the UFC in a hurry. Following a potentially lenient hearing, Jon Jones could be back in no time. Another day, another Twitter beef for “Bones.”

Jon Jones and Rashad Evans Embarrassing Themselves

For a fight that has yet to be scheduled, it’s getting mighty difficult to care about either fighter in the ongoing Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans bitter feud. Both grown men seem as they are less likely hyping their fight and more likely to be so pumped on their own hype that they can’t see […]

For a fight that has yet to be scheduled, it’s getting mighty difficult to care about either fighter in the ongoing Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans bitter feud. Both grown men seem as they are less likely hyping their fight and more likely to be so pumped on their own hype that they can’t see straight.

In the latest exchange between the two fighters, Jon Jones commented to ESPN that he could have finished Evans in training “numerous times.” This obviously irked Evans who took to Twitter with this comeback:

“ @jonnybones must b high! Cuz remember him looking at me begging me 2 let him up cuz he couldn’t get back 2 his feet in training.”

and then also these two:

“@ jonnybones is a Swagger Jacker!”

@ jonnybones will b mma’s version of Milli Vinilli.. Wait until the curtain comes down cuz it will!! he is fake! The fighting is off the hook but as a person he is fake!”

*Editor’s Note: Milli Vanili? Really Rashad? Way to go dating yourself by using a reference to a 1980s pop duo. Probably not the best idea to make you look so much older than your spry young opponent. You couldn’t come back with a more recent fake black person? How about maybe this guy?

But I digress and show you Jon Jones’ clever response:

@ SugaRashadEvans #cmonson

Well, if that doesn’t say it all! Actually, it doesn’t. I had to refer to this definition from Urban Dictionary to understand the massive insulting weight of being called “son”: “to be called son is to be belittled, disrespected!! [Example:] I call you my son cuz ill beat you like your Father.”

The continuous exchange between the two fighters is getting tired. It’s pointless and embarrassing and makes both fighters look like they have their heads so far up their own asses, they can’t see what a little self-respect looks like. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see this fight, but I like watching fights a whole lot more when I actually give a shit about the fighter. Hopefully both guys remember they are known and liked for their seemingly humbled personas and not this crap. But if they continue with these exchanges… at the very least… can they please be clever?

Jon Jones So Crazy Over Bader He’s Turning Into Diego Sanchez

Ben Fowlkes of MMAFighting wrote an article today exposing Jon “Bones” Jones newfound obsession with his UFC 126 opponent, Ryan Bader.  He says he has not only obtained the usual training visual aids like Bader’s previous fight footage, but he’s acquired interviews with Bader and a recent fan Q and A session that he’s been watching […]

Ben Fowlkes of MMAFighting wrote an article today exposing Jon “Bones” Jones newfound obsession with his UFC 126 opponent, Ryan Bader.  He says he has not only obtained the usual training visual aids like Bader’s previous fight footage, but he’s acquired interviews with Bader and a recent fan Q and A session that he’s been watching around the clock in order to calculate Bader’s mental state coming into their fight.  Oddly enough, the Greg Jackson camp which Jones is apart of, just released this video of him via Twitter showing his current mental state, which seems to be on par with the mentally stable, Diego Sanchez.

In the video below, Jones performs the famous “Sanchez Cartwheel” and gives his version of the “Yes” chant which Sanchez says he adopted from Self-Help Guru, Tony Robbins.


Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader is just a few weeks away, taking place in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay on February 5th.
