PrintNew Yorker Jon Jones will enjoy the home field advantage when he challenges UFC light heavyweight champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 in New Jersey. Here he is making an appearance on the local Fox News affiliate. Ever wonder where Jones got the nickname "Bones"? Just watch and see...
"I feel (this fight) is a blessing in disguise. I started my training camp in great shape. My timing is already great, everything is great. I feel as if everything happens for a reason and I'll be ready."
"I have a very unpredictable style; it's really hard to tell where I'm coming from. Between the strikes I decide to use and my strategy and tactics are always extremely different each fight. So I think that's my biggest advantage, is the fact that I'm the new guy in the sport and people just can't figure me out yet."
Jon Jones shows Duke Castiglione how he is going to win on Saturday night at the 4:09 min mark. (with a rear naked choke)

Good interview
Jon i really well spoken. It’s clear the interviewer knew virtually nothing about the sport, but Jon handled himself well as he usually does. WTF @ the other anchor almost hitting him with a chair though. I wonder what would have happened if he did.

One of my favourites of all time
Too bad his movies and tv shows fail in comparison to his stand up though… I never understood that.
Could that anchor have been more of an attention whore? Jesus.

Epic Fail
I stopped the video @:21 when the reporter said…“he’ll have a chance to prove to the world that hes the top LHW champ”. I don’t know where to begin in describing the futile thought process this man went trough.
I wish death upon no one, but not all deserve to live.
All part of going mainsteam get used to it
99% of all local media outlets have INSANELY bad banter to begin with. Couple that with the fact that they now must pretend to know something about a sport they are literally learning about from the sheet handed to them during the break.

Melvin Guilard looks like a little Kevin Randelman!

He got better
to be fair, once he settled down.
Shit.
This made me cringe, and I’ve been cringing for over four hours after seeing this. Do I have to go to the hospital or something…?

These people knew nothing about the sport, so it’s great that they had him on there. These are the types of shows and audiences that need some exposure to MMA, to reduce their ignorance and fear of it. Of course it’s painful to watch for us, but Jon does a great job as an ambassador. Too bad he botched the number of states were it’s legal though:)

I have a habit of laughing at people’s failed attempts at humor instinctively, to make them feel better. For whatever reason, that switch doesn’t turn off when I’m watching videos, so I actually laughed at this shit. I’m gonna go take a shower…

It seems like my MMA news is absolute clogged full of
“JON JONES! BONES JONES! JON JONES DOES AN INTERVIEW! BONES!”
Blah, blah, blah. It starting to make me hate him a little, and I’ve always been a fan.
The really scary thought is that it will get WORSE if he wins…
I apologize in advance.
this isn’t to say that he comes off poorly here. Just that I’m feeling a little oversaturated on Mr. Bones.
I apologize in advance.
I hear ya. After Machida beat Rashad, I ignored him completely the whole summer. Need some distance from it once in a while.

you dont push down with the back hand.
You actually just put it on the back of the head to not get head butted or if its not NHB hide the hand (ala Roger and marcelo)so it can’t be pulled over the head. Never do you push with the rear hand.

UFC is licking their chops
…to have Bones Jones as their new champ.
He’s well-spoken, he’s black, and he speaks english.
Por isso eu tomo ópio / é um remédio / sou um convalescente do momento / moro no rés-do-chão do pensamento / e ver passar a vida faz-me tédio
Why instead of tapping, does he flail one T-Rex arm?
I know he works for Fox, but surely he understands the concept of ‘tapping’?
