Why do people hate jon jones

It doesn't take long when you sit down for your first Jon Jones fight to realize he's a little bit different than your average UFC fighter. While others mean-mug, flex, scream and smirk their way into the cage, Jones chooses a simple, yet decidedly unmasculine, cartwheel. At first glance, it seems soft. You might ask yourself: What's wrong with this guy? Does he even want to bang?

Is this a fight or a gymnastics recital? Of course, when you think about it a bit, it's the most primal entrance of all. Jones is laying out to the world, and especially his opponent, the very attributes that make him special.

From fingertip to toes, his enormous wingspan and height advantage are displayed with an arrogance so subtle and blase that we don't even question it anymore. It's this reach, a physical gift Jones uses to his utmost advantage, that has allowed the champion to win seven consecutive UFC title fights. Jones, simply put, can reach out and touch his opponent with his feet and his hands while his foe is still swinging at nothing but air.

As you can imagine, this works to Jones' advantage. He dictates where he and his opponent are going to engage. If you hit me, we're gonna fight. I would love to see Rashad beat Jones, but I highly doubt it. You must be signed in to reply. Sign in or register to join the discussion. Tapology Privacy Policy.

Gregory Location: Boston Member Since: But I will not lie, the reason I hate him is due to the beating he put on Bonnar I am and was a big fan of Bonnar and ever since then I hate him. I definitely admire him though. He is the best fighter in the world, but he is deeply flawed as a person, and doesn't seem to want to change that, despite putting innocent people at risk.

It's like why people hate Tebow. People are suspicious. We're so used to being around shitty people that we doubt that Jones is really this good guy that he claims to be. I also think people hate that this young kid who's pretty new to the sport is taking out legends of the sport with relative ease. He's beating their favorite fighters so they resort to excuses. Or maybe they hate the way he interviews. With his cocky eyebrow raised.

He tries too hard to be funny and does his best to appear humble. So what say ye?
