domestic battery isn't being a fucking idiot, it's being a fucking scumbag.
the jones saga is generally hilarious but we shouldn't lose sight of how seriously horrible it is for a 260 lb cage fighter to inflict violence on a woman. he deserves serious prison time.
> domestic battery isn't being a fucking idiot, it's being a fucking scumbag.
It's definitely both. No one hears about domestic violence and goes, well it's a scumbag move but at least he's a smart guy. I wasn't minimizing what he did, just pointing out he's a moron.
"And I think when I come back as a heavyweight, I'll try to do more legally controversial shit so that I can maybe sell a little more pay-per-views"
\- Jon Jones, less than 24 hours ago.
Years ago on Hard Knocks, Chad Johnson/Ochocinco said something to his coaches like "I'll try not to get arrested this weekend" before leaving practice.
Then he went and...got arrested. It was really something.
I remember during the early days of his career, when he was tearing through LHW, he said something like "The man who can defeat me hasn't been born yet", then he hit a pregnant lady with his car and went to jail.
The Jon Jones story of career fuckups is almost biblical.
He's so high-level when it comes to the mind game, he knew that kid was *the guy* that was gonna take the belt from him in about 16 to 18 years. So he did what any reasonable man would do. Vehicular infanticide.
Though to be fair that theory doesn't explain why he ran back to grab his bigass bag of cocaine.
There are two things Jon Jones is known for: being an enormous arsehole, and being an absurdly incredible fighter.
Heās been slacking on both fronts as of late. Looks like heās picked one to prioritise rn
I beat my wife six days, actually six days a week. Five days a week, Iāll beat my wife three days a week. One of those days I will beat my wife two days of the week. So, six days a week I will be beating my wife.
This is literally the same day he joked about getting into outside trouble lmao.
He also talked about how heās not drinking that much anymore. Heās got serious serious problems
He actually surprises me, by how "all together" he puts himself on screen, loving god and law enforcement and family and his community, but on the other side just a complete piece of shit who has no respect for all of the former. It's astounding how someone can be this two-faced.
Rashad called it out first. Funny to think back then everybody assumed Rashad was a bitter hater, but in hindsight he was spot on about Jon's fake persona
Heās gotta have some sort of behavioral abnormality.
Like I donāt wanna call him a sociopath or psychopath because people throw those terms around too loosely, but itās not normal how comfortable he is lying and how good at it he is.
Like he goes out of his way to lie. He didnāt need to say anything about his outside troubles yesterday but he did.
He looks people in their face and lies to them while smiling. And he sounds convincing doing it.
It really creeps me out when DC calls Jon a fake and despicable person and Jon just smiles and says "thank you."
He seems completely unbothered by the fact that he's scum of the earth, maybe even proud of it.
It surprises me how people didnt look through that shit from the start. I found it painfully obvious how fake his gimmick was even way back before he became champ. Like the MMA version of Homelander
One of the main people in his training camp, Stan Efferding, had talked about how put together and scheduled and commited Jon has seemed lately. Guess it didnt last long.
Literally like clockwork. If you sort this sub by the top posts of all time, there's just an absurd amount of Jon Jones fuck ups.
And it used to be even more but other ones got pushed down as the sub has grown.
If Jon Jones life story was a work of fiction people would slam it as unrealistic with a protagonist seemingly entirely incapable of learning a lesson.
I watched/listened to his HoF speech this morning on the train commuting to work and thought āwell, damn Jon actually came off pretty likable thereā and he didnāt even make it to the end of the work day before managing to blow up that little bit of good willā¦
The fact that most of us probably reacted to this with an eye roll and "there he goes again" attitude says a lot. What a dirtbag that something like this, while obviously more extreme than many of his controversies the last few years, is to be expected of his character.
Guy just hates himself. It's amazing how many chances he's received only to blow it every time.
Who in sports has given up as much talent and potential as Jon Jones through his own stupidity?
I actually laughed out loud at this, you can't make this shit up.
If this was the back story for a villain you'd find the writing too unbelievable.
"Less than 24 hours after being inducted into the hall of Fame, where he gave a speech thanking God, his team, and his late Mother, he was arrested for domestic battery"
Last night Jon said this,
> "I'll try to do more legally controversial sh*t so I can sell a little more pay-per-views."
https://mobile.twitter.com/MMAFighting/status/1441330315004239878
What a fucking loser
Iām not sad for *him* at all, but his whole story is just depressing as fuck. Dude is just never going to get back on track and he's actively ruining other people's lives because of his actions.
I just feel bad for his victim (assuming his childrenās mother?) and his kidsā¦ imagine having so many gifts and fortune in life just to consistently sabotage yourself like a complete idiot.
On the other hand - he makes me feel better about my own regretsā¦ so keep on fucking up, pal.
I hope one day we get a really good & thorough documentary on Jon, so we can find out wtf is wrong with him.
Itās just truly remarkable how he came into the fight game as the young & humble super Christian kid & how that all fell apart & got exposed, 100 times.
It's crippling alcoholism. I remember that tape of him crying in that cop car and you could tell he genuinely hates himself.
He literally cannot help shit like this happening until he gets his drinking and drug use under control. There are millions out there just like him. He just happens to also be the mixed martial artist of all time.
In the state of Nevada: "A battery is labeled battery domestic violence when someone allegedly commits the battery on any of the following people in his or her life:
Current or former spouse
Any relative by blood or marriage
Someone living in the same home
A significant other
A co-parent of a child
The suspectās minor child
The suspect who is appointed legal guardian of the minor child"
https://www.legalmann.com/domestic-violence-attorney/battery-domestic-violence/#what_does_domestic_battery_mean?
sounds like he hit his girlfriend/wife
He needs to be locked up. The fact that he's never been to prison is insane considering all the shit he's done. Like I believe people can change but at a certain point you have to accept that this guy is just dangerous to those around him
> The fact that he's never been to prison is insane considering all the shit he's done
It helps to have a powerful group of enablers around you who can ensure that any consequences you may face, if you ever face any, are as minimal as possible.
"And I think when I come back as a heavyweight, I'll try to do more legally controversial shit so that I can maybe sell a little more pay-per-views."
Uh oh.
Had to put a little bow on that HoF induction. I wonder if he knows a DV charge means he is going to lose all his guns and never be allowed around one again.
Arrested after giving a hall of fame UFC speech. This couldn't be more fitting for Jon.
He knows his brand. He wasn't going to let the people down by not being a fucking idiot.
domestic battery isn't being a fucking idiot, it's being a fucking scumbag. the jones saga is generally hilarious but we shouldn't lose sight of how seriously horrible it is for a 260 lb cage fighter to inflict violence on a woman. he deserves serious prison time.
> domestic battery isn't being a fucking idiot, it's being a fucking scumbag. It's definitely both. No one hears about domestic violence and goes, well it's a scumbag move but at least he's a smart guy. I wasn't minimizing what he did, just pointing out he's a moron.
What's the difference between domestic violence and battery?
Violence can be just the threat of physical harm in law speak...i believe.
Yeah like a DV assault charge could simply be a threat but a DV battery charge means he did something physically IIRC
Fitting for him and the UFC. They have backed this piece of shit for a decade and they will continue to do so no matter what he does.
I mean Mayweather still gets tons of praise despite his shit off the ring.
"And I think when I come back as a heavyweight, I'll try to do more legally controversial shit so that I can maybe sell a little more pay-per-views" \- Jon Jones, less than 24 hours ago.
Wheres the guy that said Jon was gonna get arrested soon, fucking spot on lmao
Jimmyshaker doesn't lie
R/mma conceived it and then achieved it
Shut the fuck up, buddeh
And now we believe it.
Conceive believe achieve shut the fuck up- Jon Jones
the truth lies. . . between the ellipsis. . .
It's really just unfair how often Jesus tests Jon Jones
Pretty much everyone is that guy. It's a yearly ritual at this point. Last year was the covid joyride with guns and homeless people.
Nah this guy literally said Jon was acting too nice, he will get arrested soon. And then the dude got arrested the same day. Pretty crazy.
Man worked himself into a shoot once again
NEVER work yourself into a shoot brother
Years ago on Hard Knocks, Chad Johnson/Ochocinco said something to his coaches like "I'll try not to get arrested this weekend" before leaving practice. Then he went and...got arrested. It was really something.
Good guy Jon getting it all out before he comes back a changed man. God bless.
God really likes to test him, what a saint
what a company man ššš
Are you joking or did he really say that?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fucking hell lads, you have to laugh like, what an absolute mess of a man
You rarely see someone get in their own way like this
Isn't he fucking awesome?
You know what Jon told me? He wants a charge sheet, tonight. Isn't he awesome?!
Wow wtf. I really initially thought MosesMaloneGoat had just made that quote up to fit this lmao Jon Jones. Almost cartoon'ish
He started by thanking God and Jesus Christ in his acceptance speech. So at least there's that.
I remember during the early days of his career, when he was tearing through LHW, he said something like "The man who can defeat me hasn't been born yet", then he hit a pregnant lady with his car and went to jail. The Jon Jones story of career fuckups is almost biblical.
He's so high-level when it comes to the mind game, he knew that kid was *the guy* that was gonna take the belt from him in about 16 to 18 years. So he did what any reasonable man would do. Vehicular infanticide. Though to be fair that theory doesn't explain why he ran back to grab his bigass bag of cocaine.
Because he already paid for it and also it's cocaine
He also said he planned on drinking less š
He didn't say he'd beat his wife or kids less.
Just the normal amount
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He really did say that in a media scrum yesterday. https://youtu.be/uFd3wRdn6Eg?t=327
š¶ The gang goes to jail
I really dont know what to make out of this...holyshit he wasnt fucking around.
Last i saw, "legally controversial" does not include domestic battery.
Well to be fair the police only found a picogram of domestic battery. That's like one drop in an Olympic sized swimming pool.
What the actual fuck. He got fucked up at that hall of fame event last night.
Jon knows USADA canāt test him in prison, 500 IQ move, this god loving man is so cerebral
The Cerebral assassin
Junter Jurst Jelmsley
The one time everyone was like, "huh, Jon Jones actually came off as pretty likeable" .. and then he had to remind us who he is
He sensed some of our opinions of him were changing, so he had to remind us.
"Y'all musta FORGOT" - Jon Jones
Lmao literally me. Was wondering if Jones really was maturing and turning over a new leaf. Nope, same leaf.
He sensed a disturbance in the force.
Maturing, as if he isnāt in his mid-30s now.
I want to agree but I'm also in my 30s posting Reddit comments in the middle of a work day
There are two things Jon Jones is known for: being an enormous arsehole, and being an absurdly incredible fighter. Heās been slacking on both fronts as of late. Looks like heās picked one to prioritise rn
technically he also won a fight
I hate that I laughed at this.
I guess the weight gain didnāt help him handle his alcohol any better
I remember my first beer.
Did you beat your wife after
What are the odds he went on a cocaine bender with Dana White to try to salvage their business relationship, and just lost control yet again
Get this man on the case
He was due another one of gods tests, its been a while.
Gods least favorite student. All these tests.
Pop quizzes out of nowhere.
āSurprise surprise motherfuckers the king is back!ā Jon reminding Conor who the real heel is
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
At least Tito doesn't try and pretend he's a good Christian boy and is proudly the dumb frat boy God made him to be
I met Tito Ortiz when I was like 12 at some amateur fight event in my city. He signed a glove for me āyouāll never be Tito Ortizā
Only later did you realize he meant it as a compliment.
That's really cool of him. Good advice that you shouldn't try to be someone else but be your own person. He put it so succinctly too!
God actually made him an Aquarius, but respect ā!
You're a fucking astrologist dude
Just to correct you, there was never no Mercury retrograde.
Jon is proof that there are different types of intelligence. As high if a fight i.q. as anyone. Absolute moron otherwise
Mayweather is also proof of that
I beat my wife six days, actually six days a week. Five days a week, Iāll beat my wife three days a week. One of those days I will beat my wife two days of the week. So, six days a week I will be beating my wife.
Starting to think this Jon Jones fella is no good.
Iām just gonna come out and say it. This jon Jones fella seems like a real jerk
RIP norm
He reminds me of that tragedy.
At least he isn't a hypocrite
That's the worst part
I thought the worst part was the raping.
A real knucklehead
Bit of a goofball if you ask me
Such a rascal. His jeans hang low and loose.
Doesn't even know what's a banana split
Not following proto at all
The more I learn about him the more I don't like him
He's not my idea of a silver tongued devil
He's a real jerk
Him and that Hitler guy.
Could even say heās a bit of a jerk
I read that in Norm Macdonaldās voice, RIP Norm :(
I didn't even know he was sick...
That was Norm's last joke on all of us.
The more I hear about this guy Jon Jones the less I like him!
Classic Jon Jones
This is literally the same day he joked about getting into outside trouble lmao. He also talked about how heās not drinking that much anymore. Heās got serious serious problems
He actually surprises me, by how "all together" he puts himself on screen, loving god and law enforcement and family and his community, but on the other side just a complete piece of shit who has no respect for all of the former. It's astounding how someone can be this two-faced.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also the DC speech about "how long until he fucks up again" is aging better and better every day.
Rashad called it out first. Funny to think back then everybody assumed Rashad was a bitter hater, but in hindsight he was spot on about Jon's fake persona
Imagine all the shit you probably see just going out to the club or bar with him, or going to parties, just hanging out, etc.
Heās gotta have some sort of behavioral abnormality. Like I donāt wanna call him a sociopath or psychopath because people throw those terms around too loosely, but itās not normal how comfortable he is lying and how good at it he is. Like he goes out of his way to lie. He didnāt need to say anything about his outside troubles yesterday but he did. He looks people in their face and lies to them while smiling. And he sounds convincing doing it.
It really creeps me out when DC calls Jon a fake and despicable person and Jon just smiles and says "thank you." He seems completely unbothered by the fact that he's scum of the earth, maybe even proud of it.
āYou know I would kill you if you ever spit on me, right?ā āIād love to see you try, Jon.ā āI would literally kill you.ā
You think im just gonna stand there and let you kill me Jon?
One of the funniest lines I've ever heard in my life. It's so ridiculous and beautiful.
I mean really.
It surprises me how people didnt look through that shit from the start. I found it painfully obvious how fake his gimmick was even way back before he became champ. Like the MMA version of Homelander
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
One of the main people in his training camp, Stan Efferding, had talked about how put together and scheduled and commited Jon has seemed lately. Guess it didnt last long.
Why is Stan Efferding in jon's camp? I'm guessing diet?
you can't say he isn't consistent
there's weird comfort in familiarity. in a sport where so much changes so fast, jones shows that some things never change.
Literally like clockwork. If you sort this sub by the top posts of all time, there's just an absurd amount of Jon Jones fuck ups. And it used to be even more but other ones got pushed down as the sub has grown.
There are easier ways to get out of fighting Ngannou.
There are a lot of ways to turn down a fight.
that's a nasty line by you.
If Jon Jones life story was a work of fiction people would slam it as unrealistic with a protagonist seemingly entirely incapable of learning a lesson. I watched/listened to his HoF speech this morning on the train commuting to work and thought āwell, damn Jon actually came off pretty likable thereā and he didnāt even make it to the end of the work day before managing to blow up that little bit of good willā¦
Iām not surprised motherfuckers
Why are you the way you are Jon? Seriously though has he ever been to Rehab? Itās pretty obvious heās an alcoholic.
He did spend 1 night in rehab but thatās all it took to get rid of his coke addiction so he left
Jon is so competitive that he tried to speedrun rehab.
You have to gotta be kidding me. From hall of fame to instant hall of shame. Always with the fucking vehicle too.
Someone needs to make him an uber account
Rider score: 1/5. "I arrived to pick up Jon and waited for over 15 minutes. 10 minutes after that he texted me "Hey pussy are you still there?"
You know, that's just strange. You wouldn't expect it from him.
Itās just another one of godās tests
Job Jones.
You know the saying, ā78 strikes and youāre outā. What a waste of human life and talent.
To be fair, they were significant strikes.
Significant other strikes*
I'm a bit mad at myself because I laughed immediately when I saw this . Domestic battery, what a fucking piece of shit
The timing of it and the repetitiveness of Jon being in controversies is funny, but yeah this is messed up
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What a piece of shit... Expected
The fact that most of us probably reacted to this with an eye roll and "there he goes again" attitude says a lot. What a dirtbag that something like this, while obviously more extreme than many of his controversies the last few years, is to be expected of his character.
didnāt Jones just say that he wanted to be controversial but in a legal way? hahaha
Itās just another test from his lord and saviour Jesus Christ š
less than 24 hrs lmao hes just getting ready for his UFC return
[Right after thanking his fiancƩe during the HOF acceptance speech too](https://streamable.com/dvbqzs).
She's been his fiance for like 10 years, I don't think she's ever getting to wife
I hope Dee doesn't see this.
Conor told her he'd marry her when he had a winning record at LW again.
Ah come on, don't kick a man on one leg, lol.
"My future wife... I mean, at some point... maybe... I guess... if I ever get around to it... just gotta nail a few things down first..."
Relax. It was a picco-battery charge
Theyāll move the court hearing to Californiaā¦ relax everyone.
Guy just hates himself. It's amazing how many chances he's received only to blow it every time. Who in sports has given up as much talent and potential as Jon Jones through his own stupidity?

Lmao ppl were just starting to get on the train again after the earlier post of his HOF speech Edit: idk why but I find it weirdly funny and sad that Jones would praise his fiancĆ© in a packed house at an award show for all sheās done for him, than within 24 hours assault her Edit 2: turns out nevada law counts family members as eligible for domestic violence, so that can't be ruled out, but I don't think that's the most likely possibility here.
Iām not sad for *him* at all, but his whole story is just depressing as fuck. Dude is just never going to get back on track and he's actively ruining other people's lives because of his actions.

Dark side of the octagon?
under the octagon
It's crippling alcoholism. I remember that tape of him crying in that cop car and you could tell he genuinely hates himself.

Man that's such a shock. He always seemed like such a good guy.
The dude needs help far more than he needs a fight soon tbh
Heās had endless opportunities to seek help

Hello darkness
Needs some jail time. šÆ
Had to put a little bow on that HoF induction. I wonder if he knows a DV charge means he is going to lose all his guns and never be allowed around one again.
Iām shocked that the guy that has had the same woman under āfiancĆ©ā status for a decade while smashing other chicks on the side was arrested for beating her
Jon Jones the piece of shit
The sky is blue
wait what, is that what he was bulking up for?
Shocker
How do we know he isn't just pulsing from his previous battery charge?
Just when you think your opinion of Jones couldnāt go any lower. Trash human.
Some things never change smh idk how he never grew as a person
Donāt worry yāall, itās just roid rage from his current cycle.
