Couldn't go 2 minutes without comparing himself to Jesus, that's my boy
lmfao right
Figjam 😂😂😂😂😂
Buks
Someone needs to try another trip to the Andaman islands but instead this time spread the GOSPEL OF GOAT JONES who died on the USADA cross for the sins of Daniel "Double Cheeseburger" Cor-mee-yay
😂😂😂😂😂😂🙌🙌i can't
Jon "Bones" Jones. The best Gram for Gram fighter...
Fuck sake 😅
You win sir 😂😂😂😂
Lol we have a winner
That’s a bingo
ffs lmao
surely he won't compare himself to jesus christ within the first 2 minutes
lol ggod1
😂😂😂😂😂
@Emperor Farage of course he said that, but sit back and think about what he actually said. [disclaimer ok i'm not jesus christ], but the comparison I'm going to make is me to ... Jesus Christ
wassupjg that’s not a comparison. That’s saying if even the only perfect person to ever walk this earth was crucified, imagine a man who actually has faults. He specifically said he wasn’t even close to being in the same category as Jesus. Stop with the fake news.
wassupjg He just said that he’s not comparing himself to Jesus but yet you still comment this. I’m convinced some of you jones haters have a mental illness

Someone needs to make a jon jones dropping a pinch of salt in a swimming pool meme lol
really? a pinch of salt make u write this comment? a pinch of salt? in an olympic sized swimming pool? really? in front of all this youtube viewers? a pinch of salt? in an olympic sized swimming pool? really?
A pinch.. of.. steroids.. in an olympic size light heavyweight..
Pinch of tbol is much more effective

By who?
LMFAO!!!!!! you nailed it hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha, comedians out of their basements :p
Stevey Irwin yeah but they’re still hating ass bitches. The truth is steroids had nothing to do with Jones performance/win over DC
"I think about that pregnant lady every day" 60 seconds later... "No I don't really think about it anymore. It was 4 years ago and she made $1M from the situation."
He thinks Daily about that million. So much Coke....
He didn't say "I think about it every day" he just mentioned that when asked what his biggest regret was. If he did say that, please timestamp it because I must have missed it.

he didnt even know if he was driving an actual car, he didnt know what white powder he was snorting, he didnt know what was in the need he poked in his ass. jonny jones is an innocent man!

Great interview! The MMA world missed this guy. glad to have him back!

He's still not self aware. Amazing.
He is as aware as one has to be. Come back here. Say where is john right now. And re watch this episode. You will see how much aware he is in this episode
Jon should just accept the fact that he's a super alpha predator, a psychotic murderer and a heartless killing machine who was placed on this earth to torment everyone.
Sanju Singh Mma omg this comment made me lol
I agree, I would like him more for the honesty He's the baddest man on the planet, I'm not gunna judge him for being more brutal than the average man, if only he would be an HONEST man.
I keep saying it. He needs to do movies. Specifically westerns as the gun-toting steed-riding cold blooded villain with a big black hat and beard. He would kill it.
Sanju, Haha, lol
Ydah when hes on juice you dork
Kellerman was asking good questions, that's why Jon got mad. Good job Kellerman
Shak you're dads a lady boy
ron420 that doesn’t even make sense 😂
Exactly. Jon doesn't like the hard questions. They are hard questions because he has to lie on the spot and it's very obvious when he lies. People who have done something wrong don't generally like the hard questions ;)
I thought he asked unnecessary hostile and accusatory questions

Why is everyone in the MMA community a god damn psychologist 😂
when you dont train or have a life, you got to feel good somewhere ahahahaha
Imma dic psychologist
I’m an actual psychologist. It’s unethical for us to diagnose someone without knowing them and running legitimate assessments. Despite this, I’m inclined to say JJ has certain personality disorder traits- but I will leave it at that. More importantly- I don’t trust JJ as a fucking fan. I’m sick of “forgiving” him, just to have him turn around and piss hot or get arrested. I’m over it. If you continue to make excuses for JJ, you have my sympathy.
John McL you do realize psychology as far as a science is very trivial at best. The average dullard can make sense of common sense observation of character traits. This man has failed multiple drug tests and committed many crimes all while having every advantage in life. He then likens his struggles to that of Jesus Christ. Are you suggesting you need a PhD to understand the narcissism at work here ? I personally am licensed as a NCAC and mental health diagnosis are not my main focus but this man meets all the criteria as clear as day. Knowing the definition of a word or diagnosis does not take a college certification !
MMA reporters and fans are kinda dumb. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan too but sometimes fans are way way too stupid and act smart while in the real life they are bum. Especially Muslims and some American fans..damn liars
Hes pretty level headed in how he sees things, just makes the wrong decisions sometimes as we all do and doesn't seem like a truely nice guy for some reason, but I hope he's ok and turns things around. Hes a great talent and I hope hes happy, its not easy to get the amount of shit he does, not surprised hes depressed.

Never his fault. always has blame to place else where.

Quite frankly, this is why Ariel is simply the BEST.

Im not saying hes on steroids, but one of the side effects to it is excessive sweat
Ariel like the rest of the american MMA media still trying to force Jones vs DC 3 down our throats, while asking zero questions on Jones vs Gus 2 which is actually happening in a month and will be a much better and more interesting fight. Doesn't matter how many times Jones keep saying he is not interested in fighting DC anymore and that Gus is a tougher opponent for him.
Where's you're proof,no 1, Gus never had a UFC belt around his waist,while Jon is here ,HE NEVER WILL....FACT....
@@garyclarke8084 the proof is in there last fight. Don't be a casual.

Jon "I have failed 3 drug tests in 3 fights but its not my fault I am being sabotaged by everyone else" Jones
now he has to stick to that ridiculous lie, lol
He failed one legit. Failing for coke is bullshit it's not a performance enhancer ask anyone would they rather train and fight high on coke or sober. As for the other one USDA themselves said it was from the dick pills.
you think you randomly start taking PEDs one day??? his brothers are known juicers in NFL. Jones has failed every drug test since USADA has been involved, I dont care what hes popped for or what they pretended it was. Dude wasnt even 30 and hes taking dicks pills LOL you know what causes limp dicks... pumping yourself with steroids

Rickson loooooL do you not see his hairline hes balding badly
He has a shaved head so he has 0 distrCtions doesn’t gave to worry about hair ect meaning he’s all business he’s gonna ko Gus
IruBiinI I don’t think he can... his hairline is receding badly at the temple and the top corners
Billy Mandem USADA stressing him out lol
I love that he brought up the childhood trauma topic. That’s a topic that cannot be stressed enough! It’s the reason why we numb ourselves with substance abuse and daily divergents...

He's only human, we've all made mistakes in life. I think the goat is back nd everyone in his division is on suicide watch.#JohnBonesJones#theGoat
You can’t judge him if you aren’t in his size 13 shoes lol. All jokes aside he admits to his wrongdoings and he seems genuine when he speaks. We all make mistakes and he’s lost a lot, so nobody can judge him.
this guy is insane... "even jesus was crucified and ridiculed"
He stuttered when he said it as well 😂
Was he not
I'm trying to figure out where that quote is insane
@@maniwulf7600 He's comparing himself to Jesus unfoundedly.
@@hunam3876 He said even Jesus was ridiculed. So his point was that, you can be completely perfect(You can literally be Gods Son). And people will still hate you. So why take it to heart, because theres no exception
Looks like Jon went to Stephen A Smiths barber. They have the same hairline.
Are you gay?
barbers don't give you hairlines, its genetic mate.
Nah his brothers still got it full. All the life adversity is stressing Bones hair right off. When he 40 he’ll be forced into the Mayweather dome or the Deon Sanders hair transplant
Jon towards the end being like "A pinch of salt in an olympic swimming pool allowed another man to knock you out infront of your family", is just vicious. It is a very malicious line, and it shows how stone cold he really is deep down. So if he just dropped the good guy Christian act entirely and just went with it, people would have an easier time accepting him as a person, instead of him being a complete fake. That being said it still is ridicilous how he tries to make himself look like a victim all of the time.
Don't know if this is possible, don't care. I wanna see Jones vs Adesanya. The Stylebender vs Bones. Dana, you're welcome.
Charlie Ferreira lol can't tell if you're serious
Jonny would son him and is too heavy for him
I don't like em as an individual.. but the dude's one helluva fighter, can't wait for the fight!
His ego is so blindingly out of control.. even with his intellect he can't stop himself from saying this insane stuff. He really is a fascinating guy. I think he's the best example of why we shouldn't look to these exceptional or "great" people as role models for our society. We too often attach positive connotations to people who are great or exceptional but in reality those are morally neutral things. Alexander the Great was a "great" man in the true meaning of the word.. Vlad the Impaler was an ambitious and exceptional human being. That is a very different thing from being "good" I'm saying this as someone who really isn't against Jon.. sure we can enjoy and even celebrate what a great talent he is but when we ask what kind of example the man is setting; we should ask ourselves if "greatness" is what the rest of society should be looking to as a moral compass.
Cant wait to see you in the octagon
Wow. Amazing interview. I thought it was an old interview but then realized and had to rewind. Lol
Notice that Ariel essentially asked the same question John infamously rejected from Luke at the 214 presser. “It’s like poetry... y’know it rhymes”- George Lucas

How do you identify what you're masking?
I use to get in trouble all the time and it seemed to follow me during that time. I sympathise with Jones. Everybody makes mistakes and when other people see you make them, they always forget they have made mistakes too. Good luck Jones and keep climbing to greatnesses!

Low key, Jon been able to preserve his body from inactivity

He wasn't hiding. He was looking for crumbs.
Say what you want Jon is definitely one of the best all time! My opinion is I think Guff will be a harder fight than DC because Jon is gonna knock out or submission on DC but Guff is a different type of animal at THIS time. He's gotten better. I just want a great fight
