Jon Jones on "Rampage" Jackson: I'm not going to let someone who is half passionate take my dreams away

Jon is a true warrior.

I voted you cool Bro (:

Based on your post exchange, I am voting your exchange with "Nevergiveup" as, Cosy.

first of all this guy is like barack obama when he opens his mouth he is a genius, second he has great ability to get inside anyone haed.

he's a great liar, he lied about wanting to do surgery, and the he waited until evans vs. davis card was created and then he started bullshiting about what the doctor said that it's not like his job required him to sitting in the office all day that might be true but I don't think he should of had the ability to pull out without the scheduled date for the surgery and after that he still said that he did not want to fight rashad because if he gets back in training and he hurt his arm again rashad would have to sit out for much longer now he's saying rashad could fought me if he was a more patient. man this guy is destroying his image if you would just shut up before fights

Jones went hard with this one.

the more i read about this guy the more i dislike, i hope rampage knocks him clean out. jones has unbelievable ability but hes not defended his belt yet. hes no where near the 'champion' that GSP or silva is.

I cut myself off if he was just show up before fights everyone on this planet would not dislike him

god I wish english was my first language

Your wish will be granted after you have earned your High School Diploma.

I don't want to count rampage out, but I feel like jones will win this one. Having said that, I really hope rampage doesn't get embarrassed and man-handled the way shogun was..

Half passionate is a great way to describe Rampage, and the reason I am not a fan of his. Plus he is too self-centered and a crappy coach as well. I don't see any reason why Jones won't walk right through him without breaking a sweat.

well based off a common opponent in shogun it shows on paper that jones should and would walk right through jackson with ease...

And how long ago was that?? Shogun is not NEAR as good as he was when he fought Rampage.. the old Shogun would've WHOOPED Bones.. I think Rampage can touch Bones. His TDD is really good! Bones is gonna have a HARD time taking him down and Rampage boxing is gonna outclass Bones. Even with all the unorthodox striking of bones and the kicks i dont think he can really HURT Rampage. Rampage can take a shot. He can run through punches in bunches and than land 1 and we all know thats all he needs...I don't think Bones can deal with the dynamite that's infested in Rampage fist. With all that said, it's gonna be an exciting match !!!

Dont forget rampages experiance. I think that's gonna be big and I also think if rampage fight smart, he may come out winner. All about how rampages preparation mentally.

Can't believe this guy ....Rampage is a veteran of the sport and has been in the game for many years and traveled to many places, to say he's half passionate is insulting.

He says Rashad should have waited, he fails to realise that Rashad's waited long enough and it didn't do him any good so now wants to take a fight as soon as possible. Rashad didnt know how severe this "hand injury" of Jon Jones was.

and his comments of Phil Davis...not much to fault on other than him saying he doesnt like to be hit......i dont think anyone likes to get hit (unless it's someone like Wanderlei Silva)

Rampage said himself that he was half passionate just not in those words..

Well he didnt look half passionate against Hamil... he looked like he's getting back to his old form and is not slacking anymore.. Which means Bones will face Pride Rampage... and i just don't see Bones dealing with that very well. He hasn't fought anyone with Rampage power and and rock solid chin. It's gonna be some Black on Black crime !!

Did you not watch a single interview leading nup to that fight?? He was BARELY there, all that fight showed is how much better Rampage is than Hammil, not that Rampage gave a ****.

Have not seen the interview where he says that when movies start paying as much as fighting does he's gone? If that isn't a sign of being half passionate about things I don't know what is.

I would call that being honest.



You can act until you're however old Betty White is.



You can fight until you're Randy Couture's age.



Betty White's ears aren't anywhere near as ****ed up as Randy's.



Just because he's is willing to admit that he will make a smart career decision when the opportunity arises does not mean he doesn't have passion for winning the belt.



Currently, Rampage is not doing any movies, and has less than half the Media obligations Jones does. We'll see who is really distracted and half-passionate in a few months.

I think people are going to be in for a surprise. I fully believe in rampage's stand up and know he will knock out jon jones if he decides to stand with him. But jon jones wrestling is top 3 in the ufc in my opinion and I think thats how he will when the fight.

He's got to get Rampage down first... and Rampage TDD is solid. Not to mention try to take him down "untouched"... i see Rampage ROCK Bones with one of those dynamite's!

ANd Jon Jones stand uop is pretty solid as well.

It will be interesting to see how Jones responds when Rampage starts throwing them bungalows : )

Rampage hits HARD! He slams HARD! I'd like to see him really take it to Bones like Bones has never had it before; HARD! Wanna see him walk through everything bones throws and blows......just shrug it off and then have his turn! KO Jones in the fifth! Am I dreaming?

Jones can beat Rampage on the feet with speed, ingenuity, angles and mixing in the wrestling. He's gonna knock Rampage out, did you kids not watch Mauricio "Best Striking in the world at 205, FAR better than Rampage" Rua get completely dummied standing?

In perhaps the wisest words of Tito Ortiz's life: "Show me a man that likes to get hit, and I'll show you a stupid man."



I don't see why that's a criticism.

It's not a matter of Liking being hit, it's a question of being able to take it and not let it affect your mind or movements. That's the hard part.

the more I see of jones the less i like him

To count rampage out in this fight is just plain foolish, and to say bones will walk through him without breaking sweat is as out there as it gets. One of rampages best attributes is that he can "take a lickin' an' keep on tickin" to use his words. Rampage can take some serious punishment man we know that for sure, the same can't be said for bones, we haven't seen him take a good shot yet, if rampage lands one of his nasty hooks bones will go to sleep just like the rest of 'em. Bones is good yeah but he isn't tried and tested yet, his chin definately hasn't been tested, jonnys main attribute is that he is long and tall with a monstrous reach which untill now has kept him out of harms way while landing his own shots, rampage is likely to take a few of bones' punches to land his own, then it will be goodnight vienna......

I really liked bones until I realized how fake he is. He is one of the most talented guys in the sport but just like everyone else that is supposed to be the best he will lose eventually. I can not believe he is in the pound for pound rankings and he hasnt even defended his belt, he is above Cruz and Edgar. How ?

he's above them cause he's been so dominant in every fight , whens the last time y saw him hurt / ina bad positio / almost losing a fight . never .

If he can defend the belt a couple times then put him on the p4p list above these guys but they have all defended their belts. Edgar had to beat Penn twice and won against Maynard in my opinion. No way a guy that beat a washed up Shogun after he had a long lay off beats this guy on P4P. Whats next he going to pass GSP or SIlva?Seriously Dude !!!!!

I almost think Jones is looking at Rampage as an easy fight, if so he is in for a huge surprise. Rampage of today would smash Shogun and Shogun acted as if he was scared of Jones.

Jones is a swag-jacker and a liar.



But i just don't see any way Rampage can beat Jones ..outside of a lucky punch or Jones beating himself. Give him props for stepping up to fight though.



I think Shougun is a more well-rounded striker than Rampage and he got destroyed.

Rampage may stuff some takedowns .. but eventually he will fall. When he does he wont be able to get Jones off him.



Not too mention Jones kicks. Can Rampage kick?

cant recall ever seeing that .. now that i think about it.
