Hey, song name for 13:11?
Do u feel the same ways about guys like Conor Mcgregor and Chael Sonnen?, chuck Lidell?, Brock Lesner? Tyson Fury?. Guys like that?
@@ghost99100 Did any of those guys hit a pregnant woman and run away? Did any of them test positive for illegal drugs like cocaine? Did any of those guys have police videos of them getting arrested while headbutting a police car? Did any of them guys beat up there wife/fiance/girlfriend with there kid there? Did any of those guys use religion as shield and a scapegoat for there actions?
Ever since Tyson Fury started following Jesus he's been different ever since his mental problems a couple of years ago. The guys completely changed his life around... Lol what about Jones the hypocrite Christian? Maybe you should actually read the bible, because Jones is not a Christian according to Jesus' teachings. Many American Christians don't understand or even read the Bible. Tyson Fury is also British so it's part of our culture since 189 AD, and we still have a Christian Monarch, America is a secular Republic, who's leaders lie about being Christian. Tyson leads with actions, Jones with words. It's exemplifies the difference in culture too, notice Conor is Irish but doesn't claim to follow Jesus teachings unlike Jones. So it's a bad example to bring Conor or Tyson up. It's something D.C. Always brought up about Jones is a cheater, lier, hypocrite, fake, two faced, drug abuser, spouse abuser... The list goes on and on, and it seems like DC dislikes Jones because he is the opposite, literally.
The whole DC vs Jones chapter, sealed Jones' fate with honorable fans who just couldn't like Jones anymore. Remember Jones was viewed differently before and after DC fights. It basically exposed his true character, the Christian Jones was a front. I think DC once said he was shocked about how Jones acted after the cameras were turned off.
This is fantastic. I put it in a comment but you should tweet this to DC! I would but all of my twitter accts are banned or suspended and I am out of emails. Ask him for comment! Hell tweet it to jones and ask for feedback too!
God-like editing skills, but I have some questions. Since when we started judging the quality of a fighter for his/hers personality? Or what they do outside of the ring? Do you feel the same way about Mike Tyson? And lastly does DC suck your d?
Jon Jones is the Anakin Skywalker of MMA.. he was the chosen one but he chose the dark side.
This is so accurate. He can also be a whiny bitch like Anakin
Da best fighters are the craziest
Still the Goat!
I probably would of behaved worse tbh so I'm in no place to judge the guy. He should of stopped trying to be a jedi and taken it further than electric fingers
@@ozziejohnson8301 GSP proves that theory wrong. Best ever and incredibly humble
In my opinion, this rivalry is unmatched. These two men and their talent and beef was incredibly hectic. The LHW division will suffer for some years to come because how captivating and talented these two were and still are.
Well yeah, look at the mess it is in right now... its a shame really.
@Andrew Watson I just clicked on your profile, you have commented on multiple peoples posts on this video with this same energy. Go use it in a better manner. Hit a workout, read a book, talk to a friend. But young man, this is not it. Lol
@@jcoxy1057 how captivating and talented those two were? except one is a cheat, and mind you he been busted for some stuff, but there is some heavy speculation on whether or not he had some other studd in his system that crashed his testosterone levels, because those were unnaturally low, so an unknown PED or masking agent are very likely.
you should check out the channel "more plates more dates" on this subject of PEDs. here's a snippet of him at joe rogan: czcams.com/video/8jSuJyw4wUQ/video.html
@Prithvish Roy He just says that as a way to cope, those fights were far from one sided
@@MixedMartialAcademic it's not really a shame it's just a shallow division right now
"Only I can mess it up" wow Jon really foretold his life with that statement. Truer words have never been spoken.
He knew himself he was a doushbag
He knew his demons from the start
Jon Jones is a straight up movie villain sometimes.
When starts talking to kids about sobriety his voice gets really high and he words sound sweet.
But when he’s talking to DC when he thought the cameras weren’t rolling his voice got deep as shit, he spoke clearly and left no consonant unheard
I mean doesnt everyone do that
He went full black homelander on his ass
Wow! So what you’re saying is that his demeanor changes whether he’s talking to an 8 year old child compared to his arch rival who he’s paid large sums of money to intimidate and beat to a pulp?
@@lpxile441 LITERALLY! These people in the comments are so hypocritical
@@user-so1yi2tm2r you didn’t have too add the “black” part just saying
I know this was supposed to be about Jones, but it just reinforced why I love DC so much! One of my all time favorites. Drove 10+ hours to see his 2nd win over Rumble in person. Same good dude in person as on TV, no fakeness with him! Real ambassador for MMA!
Yeah man, I really thought that this video would benefit by highlight Cormier rather I don;t spending the whole 40 minuets discrediting Jones! Thnks for the comment my friend!
DC is overrated imo.
Lol
@@spridle I agree 1000%
@@spridle at 205, he's not. If not for Jones, there isn't 1 205r that is better.
But HW, I can see that. Stipe proved it.
But he's still a 2 weight champ. And in reality, that dudes pretty wholesome IRL. I'd love it if he was coaching my kids.
I will never understand why someone like Cormier gets so much hate. He's an excellent role model and his only downfall has been circumstance and timing. It goes back to his days at Ok St when he made it to the NCAA finals only to have to wrestle Cael Sanderson. His MMA career was incredible with losses to only Stipe and Jones. His win in the Strikeforce Grand Prix was where he showed how good he was going to become. It just makes no sense that he is the one who attracts boo's and gets portrayed as the villian.
Is DC still seen as the villian though? I hope not because I've been a big fan since I saw him win the Strikeforce Grand Prix and my affection for him has only grown since. Cormier isn't just my favorite fighter; he might be one of my favorite people.
@@BiggieTrismegistus he always seemed to attract an unnecessary amount of boos from the crowd. I to have always been a big fan of his.
@@lindseyormsbee A lot of fans are lame. They like "winners".The fact that Jon is a sociopath doesn't matter because they don't care that much. They just want to live vicariously through Jon.
UFC fans aren't exactly Mesa scholars lol. You're dealing some real low IQ meat heads. Just laugh at and then pity them, then laugh at them some more
@@cactusmalone That's fair. Some people just rub you the wrong way. I don't like Jon Jones as a person for a variety of reasons but even I have to admit that the dude knowns how to fight..
it's crazy watching him speak to those children in an almost completely sincere way but then when you realize he has beaten his wife in front of his own children is when you understand who he really is....he almost as talented as lying as he's is at MMA.....
I wish more people would see the monster he is
Yeah, that was some crazy juxtapositioning.
When he was doing something good (according to you) it didn’t show you “who he really is”.
But when he doesn’t something bad that’s what you decide to judge his whole character by.
That should tell you a lot about your own self.
@@olumayowaomotoso8899 I agree with this, everyone on this planet is both good and bad hes done some incredibly amazing things and hes done some horrendous things but i always route for him and hope he can turn it around largely in part by the fact i've also done some terrible things in my life and i like to think that one day i can correct those things and become a good man
No big deal😁 its a normal everyday thing where i live🤣
7 wins , 6 finishes , 4 months ????? I never even knew that. He's already a maxed out GOAT, that is the icing on top
I know such a little known fact, it really does show how great he is in MMA. And the last fight of which to be his UFC debut is just mental 😂
Probably a few more KOs vs his wife and Kids in there too, all time great
I could have a better record, against the right competition. Lol.

Amazing documentary. Despite being an MMA fan for years now, I never truly knew the whole timeline of events regarding Jones/DC. Not only did this video explain it all in clear detail, but the editing and wording of your narration could not have been better 👏 you’re Top quality 🔥
Same this just put it all in perspective for me for all the years I missed as a ufc fan💯🤝🏼 This shit was put together so perfect really put me on game .
I love how Bones fked the DC and let him cry for the rest of his life. feels good when the hater crying after the fight on Cain's shoulder.
I hope he still somewhere crying .. xD
@@sl_razor DC is not a hater
Cormier is a real one. He showed us all how to deal with a narcissist: expose them to others, stay true to yourself, refuse to lower yourself to their level
He will always be one of my favourites!
@@MixedMartialAcademic thanks for all the great content you make for us! We appreciate you 🙏🏼
Cormier is a good little boy that just can't accept that he got beat twice by a "junkie" lol. But can easily overlook the fact that he cheated to make weight.
He definitely lowered himself to Jon's level once or twice lol but everything he said about him was on point. I bet Jon hates all the footage online of DC talking about him being exactly correct. He deserves it, he is a shit bag, and probably never even asked to make sure if the woman he hits baby survived.
@@rykerandfriends Cormier is a grown man who comports himself as a man should, the dude blowing rails and beating his wife is the little boy.
Jones and Cormier compose one of those real, organic narratives of choosing principles over victory and glory. For all of Cormier's flaws (towelgate included), the dude has always been consistent with his public and private persona. He dominated a HW division where he was undersized, and chose to take a hard weight cut to LHW for the sake of his friend and teammate, and dominated there as well. He clearly cared about his friends and family, and while he'll talk some smack to sell a fight (see: Ryan Bader), he'll also show deserved respect to his opponents, even Jones.
And despite living a much longer life than Jones, Cormier has not once failed a drug test, had a massive DUI record, or resorted to a brazenly false public persona to mask his personal demons. In the end, I have more respect for Cormier openly shedding tears in the cage than for Jones falling prey to his insecurities by repeatedly cheating.
Ultimately, a young, prime Jones defeated a Cormier who entered MMA late. I'll give Jones more credit if he can stay clean and still accomplish as much as Cormier did in his late 30's/early 40's. Until then, he's going to have every asterisk on his name, a reminder that pursuing victory at any cost comes with a price, and should not be rewarded.
I recently stumbled upon some of the things he has said regarding his mindset. It’s very motivating to see how powerfully he used his mind. Weird how someone so focused on his mind while fighting could lose control of his life outside of it.
CTE comes to mind as a possible factor regarding his impulsive behavior outside of the ring
Na he’s just a psychopath
@@jakebiondo9302 it also could be roid rage since he was caught from usadw

Thank you so much Shawn! Always more to come got some great plans for next year that I look forward to sharing! Thanks so much for your kind words
What a fitting hit piece.
Jones is a cautionary tale of talent, fame & infinite possibilities.
He’s a reminder that we’re all humans, living this casino called life & none of us is perfect.

If life is a Casino to you then you need some direction. Deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach. The TRUTH shall set you free from this systematic Matrix. Ask yourself why do you call/identity as "Black"? It's because you're programmed to think that you are. The same entities that have programmed your entire community tried to program my community into thinking we're nothing more than the color "Yellow". If you identify with this false identity of "Black" then you my friend are a SLAVE to the matrix
I’m not perfect by any stretch but I certainly don’t beat women, let alone my wife in front of my own children.
"I would die to beat you"
"Be prepared to do it"
I don't know why more don't people talk about Jon Jones trash talk, he's the only fighter in history that really give you murder vibes when talking
@Nic Otero you can say a lot of bad things about him but coward? Nobody who step in a octagon is a coward
@Nic Otero nah why should I care about you
@Nic Otero oh you want proof? Ok.
In 1985 I got attacked by a group of 47 giraffes in Tokyo, 123 people died.
Jon Jones arrived and killed all the giraffes with his bare hands, then he touched the corpses of the dead people and they came back to life.
Before leaving he said "Here is your proof Nic Otero"
It's the same way he talks to his wife coming home after a coke binge
@Nic Otero prove what? ROFL
Your videos are so insanely high quality mate. I am EXCITED to see this video. Jon jones story is out of this world and I can’t wait to see it portrayed here. Keep up the good work
Have to agree. Insanely high. I think these are some of the best mma docs I've seen. The one about combat brain injury was top drawer.

How can you comment 1 day ago when it just been posted 19 hrs ago?
In a way JJ is the embodiment of the struggle within ourselves - that we are our worst enemy. He may be talented and hardworking in MMA but he is very weak in taming his demons. The reason so many of us don’t like him is because he reminds us of our own weaknesses in taming our own demons.
Real men don't respect weak willed boys. Jon Jones is and always will be a weak willed little man. The easy thing to do is succumb to your demons.
been watching since the first doc on T-Ferg, love seeing how much your content has improved in quality and also love the longer video format. keep it up!
My favourite part was at 31:35 when Jones says most of those judging him never opened a chemistry book then immediately goes on to call a picogram a pictogram.
Ahah I caught that
Tbh I would too in the heat of the moment lmaoo. Unnecessary word to learn, let alone use unless you’re a chemist or scientist lol
His craziness and personality is the reason why he is unstoppable to be this good you can’t be normal just like Mike Tyson and Floyd
What about Ali or Fedor then. It’s just an excuse
What about them
Ali was also crazy and use peds
@@anon2427 ali was nuts
@@MetalLoverForever1 I don’t think he was nuts, it was just his stage persona and even then not so much.
Great mini documentary man. It's sad to see all the greatness that John achieved squandered away by his mistakes outside the octagon
Wouldn’t say he squandered it tho
Utterly brilliant video. I have goosebumps. Well edited and extremely well put together. Thank you for that.
It's so sad that his persona was all a professional front. I really loved Bones when he was fighting. I just loved watching somebody with such incredible fight intelligence.

@@ron.hertzberg shows how much you know, go look at wonder boy or GSP then chat your shit
I actually love Jones in his natural psychotic state. He’s an animal. He’s a fighter at heart & obsessed with being the greatest of all time. You have to give some of your sanity up to become the best at something.
@@bradleye660 exactly correct. Mike Tyson is a prime example

Man I feel horrible for daniel cormier, plus great edits as always man, keep it up.
Quality work as always. Jon Jones is the one I’ve been waiting for from you! Worth the wait!
Once again, amazing production quality! Definitely glad you covered DC so much, as he is the good to all of Jon's evil. I feel bad for anyone who can't get their act together, especially when they're so in the spotlight.
I love your videos. They're not just a documentary about the fighters in question. They really cause us, the viewers, to take a look at ourselves and who we are as people.
It's funny, despite the fact that Jones destroyed Cormier, Daniel came out the winner in the end. 2 division hampion and extremely successful commentator. And Jones preparing for heavyweight for years...
So what. Jon Jones is arguably the GOAT of this and the past lhw division. DC will forever be haunted by his run in with Jones and it shows. Cry more scrub

@@wilonealtaylorjr826 I bet you could fit his whole
@@wilonealtaylorjr826 Are you sure it's DC that's haunted? Jones was seemingly incapable of fighting Cormier without resorting chemical assistance. It seems that the true GOAT should be able to get past a "scrub" like DC without cheating.
@@wilonealtaylorjr826 Jone’s professional greatness won’t buy him anything. His personal choices will probably ruin any future opportunities he has
Fun fact. Glover was Chuck Liddells primary training partner. Chucks decline started around the time Glover was deported to Brazil due to an expired Visa.
Its also a fun fact that Chuck lost his Chin b/c he had 0 defense and would just trade. 0 to do with Glover. He took the same shots he always took just put the fights on
Man these videos are truly a work of art. Such fine storytelling and production quality.
Jones somehow gets a pass when talking about drug use for some people. They say 'steroids don't make you skilled/creative/etc.' That disregards so many things. Firstly, steroids allow someone to recover much faster; allowing them much more training volume to hone their skills. Moreover, in the fight itself, the PED's allow the athlete to be less tired, or stronger than they would be without them. This in turn makes it easier for that person to be creative during the fight. There's a million things his drug use affected during his career, and this in my opinion makes any achievement he's ever had totally void. People like to say 'Jones would have been the GOAT if he didn't fuck it up for himself'. What they fail to realise is that he may have never been in the spotlight if he never cheated in the first place.
I’m sure hyper successful Jon jones would like to challenge your opinion and change your mind.. Anyways, back to stocking cherry Pepsi on isle 4
Too bad people like you won't get in the octagon to make all his achievements "void". And Jones only gets a "pass" in your eyes because you know damn well his the only fighter/athlete who's talked about when it comes to peds and as you can see nobody gave him a pass. That ped/cheating is corny n waste of everyone's time. Simple. What's more funny is people like you huff n puff your chest as if you'd step inside the octagon with him if he didn't cheat😂

@@Asdfgadv33423 If you have to cheat to win, you cant really say youre the greatest ever. Sorry, Jones in a badass fighter with one the best fight IQ's the games ever seen. But as soon as he got popped for PEDs you lose the merit. Crazy how people who defend Jones will shit on Dillashaw for the same exact reason
As an MMA fan I recognize that that Jones is (was?) an amazing talent. He's one of the best to ever do it. However the positive drug tests lower him as a fighter in my eyes and all the other stuff has convinced me he's simply not a good person. He's an all time great fighter but I just can't call him to GOAT with everything that's gone on. You may think that means I'm a petty person and I'm fine with anyone who thinks that. To me the MMA GOAT shouldn't get popped twice for PEDs and beat up his fiancée in front of their kids.
@@ChainOnMyNeckSayCGexactly. How can u have a claim to the greatest when u have to cheat to beat ur competition. Especially when u already have so many natural advantages over other. The height the reach.
You do a great job at putting these videos together. You deserve way more likes.
Can’t wait to watch this love these video used the cte one for my project in school
Totally agree what you said about Cormier. There are still many in the audience who values integrity, decency, mindfulness than trash talking, hypocrisy, pettiness, greed, jealousy, etc.
I'm really bummed by all the nonsense that has surrounded Jones throughout his career. I was a HUGE fan of this guy starting back around 2010. He was this unorthodox, exciting machine tearing through the division. I thought that he and GSP were great ambassadors for the sport to show what it could be at its peak. Supremely gifted athletes with class and dignity.
And then all the problems started. At first, I thought "Okay, he's a young guy with the world in the palm of his hand, he made a mistake. He'll learn from it". But it kept happening. Again and again. At some point a guy like that stops getting the benefit of the doubt.
To me, this is why he will never be the GOAT. There is a different between being the best and being great. Greatness is about so much more than what you're capable of doing. It's about what you did do, how you comported yourself, how you dealt with adversity. Jon Jones is what he is. An incredibly talented screw up. I've got no sympathy for that.
Braaaa he’s the goat, don’t get that messed up my boy
These are so good man. Fantastic work!
I was too young to see all the unfold but I’ve watched all possible videos on the rivalry and the storyline around it and have never seen a better rivalry
I personally think that it was after that first Gustafsson fight that Jon started doping with a couple designer drugs. I think him being pushed for the first time scared him and instead of cleaning up his drug habit, he decided to dope up to make up the difference.
I think this is the video about fighters who I liked the most. This was such a good video with good information. Very good
The brilliance of this piece is in the nuance. Life rarely fits into neat little boxes of black and white. You capture that beautifully here. Well done.
His fans should be thankful that Jones can still compete in MMA after 4 failed USADA tests instead they are even saying he is Goat which is annoying.
We don’t have to be thankful for a damn thing. He is the GOAT. The damn owner of the company thinks so as well so you can just get over the fact your opinion on the topic doesn’t really matter when you say it to other people who enjoy the UFC 😂
I didn’t expect the greatest fighter of all time to be a saint. Gotta be a killer
How about just being a professional?
Wow, what a video. Excellent all the way around. You folks have one of the highest quality MMA channels I've ever seen. Keep up the fantastic work 👏 💪 👍
@academic You are so good at this! I'd love to hear you do one on the story of War Machine. The way you get the facts on all these events is really impressive
Imagine if Jones was as disciplined as Gsp or mighty mouse
Believe it or not, but Jon’s inner demons and narcissism Is what has made him one of the greatest fighters In MMA history.
If he was disciplined as a GSP, I honestly doubt he’s be as great as he Is now, he’d be good and have 0 setbacks.

Frfr bros underrated af
Gilbert's scary lol
What an incredible documentary. The score was perfect, this whole piece was very moving. I still can't help but feel sorry for Jones. Us tortured souls don't even understand ourselves.
Cormier is in a tough spot. If the better man was on PED's both fights, was he the better man?
I feel for Cormier, but I think he has risen above those demons.
Jones is already a tragic figure.
Or is this the beginning of the tragedy?
I do feel sorry for him man, I empathise with his situation so much. I’m nothing like him at all and never will be in the position he is, but man… I just kind of get his struggle. I do like him despite what the critism in the video
I don’t understand why nobody talks about his brothers, their PED issues and access to them. Also Jon’s blood work has been suspicious on a few other occasions, anyone who thinks he hasn’t been using PEDs is in denial. The guys using pass the tests all the time, he has continually been either lazy about hiding it, or secretly wanted to get caught.
No idea how everyone gloss over John's connection to NFL designer steroids through his 2 brothers. Who both also had a history of steroid use. I think it's pretty clear he was on steroids at some point purposely. Quiet possibly a big chunk of his career.
I’ll never understand how mma fans just skip the fact he tested dirty over 3 times

I genuinely believe that If we put every person on earth in a 1 versus 1 hand to hand combat tournament with no rules from 2011 through 2018 Jon Jones would win the tournament every one of those years.
I have seen that clip of him hitting his head on the car a few times but I had no idea that was the night he was inducted into the hall of fame.. it's mindblowing.
Absolutely fantastic content. Love These!!!
well this was excellent! serious top marks for production and everything else!
The MMA fans that are simping for Jones being a GOAT seem to forget about all the crime, eye pokes and steroid abuse.
His eye pokes are hilarious. He uses them so often it's crazy!
No, we're aware of all that. He's still the goat
Yeah, we forget them we also understand he would've still been the greatest without them. Even DC admitted Jon could've still beaten without steroids, and that says alot.

What a great channel. Some of the best content bar none around this here called inter web or internet! Much love, honor and respect. You sir are the greatest of all time as Jon Jones Is To The Sport Of MMA.
I truly enjoy this channel, Napoleon Blownapart, Jesse On Fire, MMA On Point, and a few others I totally missed but at this current moment and climate on the platform known as CZcams, You Are Killing It In The MMA, Boxing, Combat Sports Genre! The Editing, The Clips And Footage Used In Comparison To The Topics On Hand Discussed And Your Narration Is Muah! The Chiefs Kiss! Plus you Collaborate With The Big Names Which Is Lovely To See! God Bless You Mate And May The Odds Forever Be In Your Favor!
This was really well done. Good job man 👍
Amazing documentary! Jon Jones is possibly the Ron Artest of the UFC. A troubled soul with an astonishing talent tainted by his actions.
WTF? What a take.....
@@gnyphq6405 not sure if that meant as a good thing or not.
@@kalabash72 the idea of comparing Jones and Artest shows a complete misunderstanding of both situations. So to spoon feed this to you, WTF is that guy talking about...?
@Gnyp HQ okay, guy... both had troubled childhoods and had troubled professional careers. I'm not sure what your problem is. You're welcome to your opinion, but there isn't a need for being a jerk.
@@kalabash72 in simple terms: Jones was given the keys to the kingdom and his terrible behaviour was overlooked, multiple times. Artest was ostracized for his poor decisions.
I had a bad childhood, bit I can't be compared to these guys.
Bones has taken so many drug test Ls the belt should’ve gone to USADA
Without a doubt the best ufc content creator right now. Keep up the phenomenal work brother.
Outstanding production, brilliantly put together.
that "sand blasting prostitutes" line is a classic...
That whole press conference is gold!
It’s frustrating to see Jon Jones throw away multiple opportunities that no one else in life would get I think that’s where a lot of the animosity comes from.
You literally only make amazing videos, hats off to you
High quality doco. Well done.
40:15 the fact his emotional response to doing a hit and run against a pregnant women is "so humiliating" is the exact type of thing that makes me not like this dude
All geniuses in their respective fields lose their mind in the process of greatness.. how many examples do we have? When it comes to pure talent in that cage that’s something you can’t take away from Jon.
Top video mate! Your documentary-making skills are truly unrivalled 👊
Thanks a ton!
Awesome video man, that epilogue sent chills down my spine!
It really is hard to be a Jon Jones fan. He's so great and I wish he would get out of his own way..
Nothing "UNLUCKY" about it. Bones illustrated beautifully how Pride comes with a price nobody cares to pay.
This channel makes extremely high quality content and I’m eternally grateful. Brilliant piece again, thank you
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much! Looking forward to the new year and to getting more content out there for!
on binge of videos and really like your format. you and Napoleon got my spark for enjoying mma/ufc back so i can enjoy watching late night matches with my brother :)
Glad you like them! Napoleon is a good friend, hope you’ve noticed some of his cameos in my videos on your travels!
oh ive noticed them, his longer vids once i got through the "shorter" ones is how i found your channel. and yeah both of you re-lit my spark for mma/ufc ive been out of the loop since about 2011-2012 younger brother sub on the big fights for ppv and we had chats over the years but missed so much so i gotta cathc up and you two are amazing at letting us not knowing anything or know something but not all folks keep up :) im now on a ufc 1-125 binge so i got atleast 2-3 weeks to go@@MixedMartialAcademic
keep up the work you are doing good work and content for beginners, journeymen and long time followers of the scene. cant even imagine the time and work it takes to make these videos but very happy to watch them :)
His skillset is undeniable. The best to step into the cage is John Bones Jones.
He always questioned himself cause he always cheated. He never felt good enough so he cheated. He only cares about finding himself yet cares little for the people around him. He could change. If he admits he was wrong to cheat. But he will never admit fault since he wont accept blame.
Great video man please keep uploading
This is like the fifth Jon Jones documentary video I’ve seen on CZcams but probably my favorite - good shit!
I appreciate that mate! It’s a tough space to make a video on this guy that’s why I waited so long! Glad to have done it justice!
Holy sh*t the quality of these videos is unmatched on YT. Very well done sir.
There's no way this channel doesn't explode eventually. The quality is like a documentary you'd see dropped on tv except with even better script writing.
Eventually? That’s not much of a prediction.
