Stephan Bonnar and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua are fan favorites and Jones managed to destroy them effortlessly. Maybe these fans cannot root for Jones because he smashed the dreams of their favorite fighter s? This is the most speculative and sordid of all the reasons to hate Jon Jones but it still remains a possible source of the Jon Jones hate spewed on forums. People may see Jon Jones, his accomplishments, and his young age and become jealous of his success. Why would they be jealous?
Delving into the anti-Jon Jones psychology would be far too boring suffice to say that maybe people feel regret they didn't train earlier in their lives or wrestle or have certain opportunities. He'd forget to jab, leap back in straight lines, and his hands would remain by his side at all times, yet Roy made all the preconceived no-nos work. He broke the rules and made a set of his own, now followed by many young up-and-coming boxers.
Roy paved the way for fighters like Jon Jones to throw out the conventional and embrace the potential to craft a style all of his own. Jones 2. Like Roy, year-old Jon is a mood fighter, and he works on a whim. Wherever the mood takes him, that's where he'll go. Take a look around and you'll find late bloomers everywhere in mixed martial arts. Due to the very nature of the sport, many of today's leading lights didn't pursue a career in mixed martial arts until they'd lived a portion of their life with other disciplines.
Even the pound-for-pound best fighter on the globe right now, Anderson 'The Spider' Silva, is 35 years of age. Many of the old favourites, the men who pioneered the sport in the early days, are still kicking around and are welcome additions, but a year-old like Jones is a necessity for a sport intent on moving forward. If Silva is anything to go by, Jones may still have a solid ten years before he reaches his fighting peak, and that's a frightening proposition for the entire pound division.
As far as God-given gifts go, Jones bursts at the seams. He's tall at six-feet-four-inches, his reach clocks in at inches and his body is sculpted for combat.
Seemingly popped out of a fighting mold, or grabbed off a conveyor belt, Jones carries the look of the definitive 21st century fighter. He's agile, elusive, athletic and powerful. Although there are more muscular men competing in mixed martial arts, none utilise their strength and work their technique better than Jones.
If he decides to pick an opponent up, they're going for a ride, irrespective of muscle size. Jones is a fighter packed with fast-twitch muscle fibres and the potential to produce explosive bursts of movement.
I have been thinking that strike force and the UFC should merge. Joined: Nov 19, Messages: 5, Likes Received: 0. It's because he's the 1 in his division. When you're at the top, people love to hate. I thought it was because everyone is racist? Thanks for this, TS. Joined: Dec 27, Messages: Likes Received: 9. I don't like him because he fights dirty despite being the superior fighter in nearly all his fights.
He's the New England Patriots of fighters. Also, his heel persona is annoying. Cela84 , Oct 16, Joined: Sep 8, Messages: Likes Received: Rogan already figured this one out. He is a cheat, a bad sport, a hypocrite and a bully. Add to that a size 16 that is permanently wedged in his jaw and you have plenty of reasons to dislike the guy.
Kind of like the poster above me. Stuck with the bet now huh Mr Dubs? Not this again. Henderson, Bigfoot and Werdum beat Fedor. I don't hate them. People simply cling to whatever petty angle they can find as a reason to root against him. The difference with Silva and St-Pierre is that they appeared to embrace their personalities from the very beginning.
Neither seemed to go out of his way to change his own public perception. Jones, on the other hand, has been striving for years to get people to like him. He has often gone out of his way to try to say all the right things and maintain a perfect image, as he noted during the UFC media phone conference on Monday. Anything fans see as superfluous typically gets labeled as fake and disingenuous.
No one has ever really given me anything solid, outside of calling me fake. I mean what are we in high school?
