All their complaining sounds like it's straight from the short story Harrison Bergeron. Let's ban fast people from running track or people with prodigious leaping ability from playing basketball. While we are at it, let's completely level the playing field for college entrance.....smart people should be banned or handicapped during the college application process. Oh and he is too "cocky".
thank you for this post. Jon Jones haters secretly just want to go down on him.

Well that was disappointing. 5 rounds of basically nothing.

hey, there are some reasons to hate!
right now jon jones is a freak athlete. but it's not like he's shown any great skill at martial arts. he hasn't dominated anyone by wrestling (unless you consider stuffing takedowns that have to be telegraphed b/c of his length dominating wrestling), he hasn't shown good boxing, he hasn't shown great BJJ (tho tbf he's hasn't had the opps)
What have we seen from him? Single strikes from range. No great combos, no great counters, just sits at range and strikes. Yeah he's a great athlete. But unless he actually improves his his MA (instead of just capitalizing on his physical gifts), he's not going to end up a Michael Jordan. He'll end up a Steve Francis.
but i hate him, maybe i'm just trying to knock him.

It's been awhile so I don't remember the fights exactly, but I thought he dominated Bader, Matyushenko, Vera, and Hamill with his wrestling (didn't watch the fights before those).

Um, he's taken guys down before and submitted them with his reach. -_-
He's a very good wrestler too.

ummm.....what are you talking about dude? He submitted Machida with a standing guillotine choke and tookdown/supplexed Bader, Hammill, Bonner, Rampage, and Rua at will. In fact, if you knew anything about MMA at all you would know that when Jon Jones entered the UFC he was known for his excellent wrestling, takedowns, and unconventional striking. He has improved vastly since he first started fighting in the UFC...lol at the way you try and "re-imagine" history to rationalize your hate/fear of Jon Jones. Your fear is grounded in the irrational....I wonder why Jones really makes you uncomfortable?
Also you seem to be implying that Jones' athleticism is the reason for his mma success. Is that really what you think? You think he has been able to beat the best fighters in the world by "out-athleting" them? He has worked incredibly hard to become the best fighter in the world at 205; people would do well to remember that. Other extremely athletic fighters (Melvin Guillard, Brock Lesnar) have not been able to enjoy consistent success in the UFC. There have been many freakish fast, strong, big/lengthy fighters in the UFC....but how many of them became the champ?

lol Hendo is too old man, however hope he can put up a good fight. Last fight vs Rua was fucking amazing, like one of the best fight ever in the history.

It's true Jon's pretty good, but he's no Anderson Silva

While he isn't Anderson Silva at all in the striking department, I think the fact that he has top tier wrestling could potentially make him much harder to beat than Anderson in the long run.
