Jon "Bones" Jones Loves The Twilight Saga

by E. Spencer Kyte on Nov 30, 2009 3:03 PM EST

Heavy.com caught up with rising light heavyweight prospect Jon "Bones" Jones to discuss everything from his upcoming bout with Matt Hamill to becoming a part of the Greg Jackson Team in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

What wasn't expected was Jones' selection as his favorite movie:

Heavy.com: Favorite Movie?

Jon Jones: Twilight (laughs).

Heavy.com:I’m printing that. I’m making sure that gets in print. That might have to be the title of this interview, “Jon Jones Hearts Twilight!”

Jon Jones: Go ahead. I represent for Twilight. I’m not scared. New Moon actually.

Check out Heavy.com for more with the man many believe will one day wear UFC gold around his waist.

And the hype train derails, killing 48.

Just kidding. I think it’s endearing.

Thanks Slapjaw…

I’ve been fortunate enough to interview some great fighters and personalities in the last few months, but this was my favorite by far… just a humble, respectful kid who is grateful for what he has and takes nothing for granted.

And loves Twilight.

I hate Jon Jones now.

In Idaho, it's illegal to f--- a porcupine. You know why? Because someone tried it.

Shouldn’t this post be deleted, seeing as though Jon Jones is pretty much fighter bashing himself?

Sorry, he Jason Bourned me.

I didn’t know he tried out for TUF and was cut.

He was 20 at the time and because of all the alcohol in the house, you have to be 21.

With all the issues Dana's had with headliners recently,

now would seem the perfect time for a guy like Jones to bust out in prime-time and solidify his presence in the organization.

He’s obviously got enormous physical tools, a great look/image, and so far he’s been a remarkably exciting fighter to watch. The only glaring weak spot is conditioning, and he’ll get better at that as he becomes more and more committed, hopefully. Jackson’s gym isn’t generally regarded as having the greatest conditioning programs, but at the same time they don’t show it as a weakness.

I’d been wondering why we haven’t seen more of this guy.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

When you asked him about his favorite music did he say Myley Cyrus?

I obviously had to go watch the youtube of “Be My Lover” after you mentioned La Bouche, and my heterosexuality immediately jumped out the window and fell to its death.

Thanks, bro.

Yeah, he seems like a totally chill dude.

Q: How awesome would it be if PRIDE were still around and Bones were in an open weight grand prix?

I'd sacrifice War Machine and Junie Browning on an altar for that to happen.

Pick the deity, time, and place and I’ll make it happen.

lol I hope Matt Hamill kicks Jon Jones head into the second row now.

To be honest

I think Ed Cullen has a good future in MMA, if he decides to make the transition. This video here shows his vaunted muay thai skills (just look at the front kick at the 1:00 mark)

Probably more thought was put into the making of that youtube video than was done on the whole plot line of this homosexual vampire series.

I wish him nothing but the worst! Ancient Druid teachings tell us that deaf people make the best vampire hunters.

He probably grew up with many big sisters, I had 4 and I had to listen to creepy pop music all day, world’s apart, backstreet boys…all day every days. If you’re not strong enough you end up saying shit like “my favorite movie is twilight”, and if you’re not a badass fighter, you’re in deep shit.
