Great interview. Sounds like Jon got scared straight. Also sounds like he'll be dealing with the NSAC and them drug testing him and releasing the results when they didn't have a right to. Some of his comments about how the UFC has treated him are also interesting.

Great stuff. Sounds like Jon hates Dana with a passion. Ariel did a great job of putting together meaningful questions people are curious about.
Wait a year though, im not convinced he's gonna stay off the alcohol and drugs in the long run. Plenty of rumors going around he's still partying.

Still has an ego in my opinion. He sounded bitter about them taking his belt, and about a couple other things.
He has wayyy too much ego. That in my opinion is why he's disliked.

That's what I'm talking about. The bosses go there to figure out the next step. Here they have the p4p best fighter who can't get his act together. They want him to fight, but he says no because media would have ripped him and he's too stressed over his actions of partaking in a hit and run where drugs were involved. So they say, okay, you're in this mess and can't fight, in other words, you got yourself in a situation where now one of our biggest ppv's of the year is fukkd, sorry dude, you are out of opportunities. And he gets hurt over it.

I remember when a bunch of folks gave me s--- about hearing from multiple folks that Jones didn't really train like that for the Gustafsson fight. Well now you hear it from the horse's mouth.

Great interview from the true champ. He made some mistakes and expected to do whatever for the UFC when at the end of the day they only look after themselves. Look at all the guys who would put themselves at risk and be late fill ins to save cards, then lose a few in a row then get cut. Like Jones said its a dog eat dog world.

I'm still not sure about the whole Belfort thing...the guy was on TRT which was legal by the NSAC at the time so it explains the weird test. What was the specific ratio difference on that test for 152?

Oh but the hell the fans brought down on him when he refused to take 151 on short notice.
I can expect the UFC trying to save their card and pushing for a change of an opponent on late notice. But the backlash from the fans was the worst part of all that.
