VIDEO: Jon Jones Calls Out The Rock, Spin Kicks An iPad

PrintLast week, we told you about Jon Jones and his addition to the ESPN SportsNation Awesomest Dude Of The Year bracket. He's paired up against former WWE Champion and current movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and despite his win Saturday at UFC 140, he's still losing in votes to the first "People's Champ". (Sorry, Tito Ortiz.)
Jones stopped by ESPN Tuesday and shot some video with SportsNation co-host Michelle Beadle calling out Johnson and then was asked whether he could spin kick an iPad. Yes, you're reading that correctly.
Here's the clip:
Jones is one of eight athletes nominated for this year's award. He recently became the first fighter in UFC history to beat three current/former UFC titleholders in one year with his second round submission win over Lyoto Machida last Saturday. Jones could be looking for four in a row if former 205-pound champ Rashad Evans can defeat Phil Davis at UFC on Fox 2 in January.

Alright Jon...
First you poo on Rashad, now you’re calling out…The Most Electrifying Man in Entertainment. If you would shut your mouth for a second, you can hear the people chanting his name….

So Jon Jones thinks he's got good elbows, huh
Well The Rock’s going to take those elbows, shine em up real nice, turn them sumbitches sideways, and stick em straight up his candy ass

I watched The Rock's recent stuff on Youtube the other day
Made the 15-year-old WWF fan in me smile. I remember practicing for MONTHS so I could do his eyebrow thing.
HE JUST LET THAT iPAD FALL AND HAD TO BE ASKED TO CHECK ON IT! WHAT AN EVIL, SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT HE IS! BURN THE WITCH! BURN HER!

Sorry but the biggest thing that bothered me
Was how damned wide his tie was. I know at least one area that Rashad beats him in for sure.

Wasn’t accusing him of swagga jacking. I’m just saying after seeing that I can tell jones is the guy in the frumpy khakis and the oversized dress shirt that’s poorly tucked in going out for his first job interview. He would have done better to lose the tie all together.

I should have been more detailed apparently. I mean given his status and the pr behind him I would expect someone behind the scenes is on top of that. I’m not disagreeing that he’s a cut above the skulls and crossbones, but at this star of his career, given his success, it definitely couldn’t hurt to have someone carefully planning his looks.

I see
I do agree that MMA fighters could use more polish when showing up for press conferences. There are only a few that make themselves look professional in a sense like GSP, Rashad, and Overeem, when they show up in suits.
I always thought it was hilarious when you’d have a PR event and GSP or Rashad would show up in a spiffy suit and everyone else is dressed in their Affliction/Tapout shirts and flip flops.
Don’t forget akiyama. The man is a legit model.
See, many fans may not care, but that CEO watching from home will notice. I am not a “know it all” when it comes to men’s fashion. But I have learned from my time in the army honor guard, the corps and living in DC that the right look can take you a long way. If I were jones, I would want to be on the cover of GQ. Collar pins, wing tips and cuff links would e everyday accessories and I would be closer to scoring a coke sponsorship than any other fighter because of that.
Not knocking him just thinking about how he could maximize his earning potential.

Jon Jones is earning millions of dollars doing something he loves, and is one of if not the best MMA fighter on the planet…. you think he cares what a few internetforumdwellers think?
:-O
ya but he still doesn't earn as much as The Rock's butler
so he still will never ever be as awesome as The Rock
Anyone else

The first people’s champ was actually Ric Flair. He used that term all the time back in the 70’s, the Rock actually gives him credit for coming up with it.

by benten20 on Dec 14, 2011 12:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
cool topic!
I’ve been wanting to start a FightPsych series of fanposts, but haven’t had much time. I’d imagine that there are more similarities than differences in terms of the physiology of fighting vs. soldiering (similar hormone and neurotransmitter releases, same neural pathway, fight or flight being invoked and overridden). In fact, the only people who would experience the differences between the two are the guys who have done both…. it’s probably almost exactly the same for people who are cage fighting or warring without having the other to compare and contrast. Good luck!

by any chance if you ever have a free moment i would appreciate any help you could offer. also my personality psych teacher wanted it to be specifically centered on the topic of aggression. so if you have any ideas i would really appreciate it. btw you going to the expo on saturday/sunday?
Such an American thing to do
I’ve seen this on Tosh.0 and as viral college pranks…destroying top of the line consumer tech. This and eating contests… it’s like Americans are saying “we have SO much we can afford to treat our bounty with total disdain. Take THAT third word!!!!”
Jon Jones’ arrogance reminds me of Shaq so I don’t take it too seriously.

What if
Makes me wonder how well The Rock would’ve done had he decided to jump to MMA instead of pro wrestling after he left football. He’s definitely athletic enough and has shown to be driven no matter what he does.
he grew up in the ProWrestling world
His father and grandfather were famous ProWrestlers
It doesn't matter what your name is!! The Rock will take your roody-poo candy ass to the corner of Know your role Boulevard and Jabroni Drive and check you in to the smackdown hotel!! If you smell what The Rock is cookin'!!
Well since
Bones called The Rock out, he’s got a new story to tell… of a beating on Jabroni Drive aaaaaat…
no i dont think Jones is making millions
and he should think of the fans . Now Dana doesnt really care because it brings maybe even a bigger income when people dislike Jones and spend money to see him lose. His time will be only over, if people lose interest in him. I didnt know Rock is the people’s champ also??
Since the Rock's baby left him
He’s got to find a new place to dwell. So he took that left down jabroni drive, and a right on know your roll boulevard, and checked into the…
Smack Down Hotel. So awesome
Police have mounted a Phuket-wide hunt
ahh you mean his gf?
Does Jones really mean to fight the Rock? How could they ever make that fight???
he called out a retired(ish) wrestler
who makes a mildly entertaining movie every year or so…
and not even really, I pretty write off anything said on SportsNation because that show is not real sports coverage most of the time, it is 90% sports related BS with 10% of real stories. Entertaining for sure, but nothing really else.
