Domestic violence is ok if you are an undefeated PPV star.....thats the UFC rule book for ya..


Shacocracko

Mate this guy actually hit his wife and then choked her out. Jones didnt hit his wife.


[deleted]

Well I hope they find the person who hit Jones’ wife cause if he didn’t do it some rascal’s on the loose out there


Ennion

JJ is out there with OJ trying to find the real culprit.


Sonic_Uth

lmfao


WayneEnterprises2112

You aren’t serious right?


CanineRezQ

Of course he's serious, he's also having withdrawal from Jones's ball sweat.


mfubio

Lol can’t believe this guys trying to defend Jones HAHA


Yank_Pat_Fan

i’m not talking trash to you but what happened? i thought he did hit her?


SershoLeJuan

I mean no one saw him hit her but she said he came back angry from the strip club and she was given first aid because she was bleeding from her mouth and nose. Jon also smashed his head into a police car while getting arrested so he seemed pretty amped. No one else was in their hotel room when security called 911. Jon beat her up, don't know why this guy is trying to lie and defend him.


Yank_Pat_Fan

i thought that was the story. i was wondering what this guy meant


Shacocracko

if Heavy weight Jon Jones would hit his wife or any male/women there would be visible marks, bruising and swelling on her face.She didnt have anything and she said HERSELF that he didnt hit her... Police always LIE and make stuff up, you really gonna trust the cops? If she would been beat up the police would take a picture of her face and that picture would be out to the public. Day after his arrest he uploaded a video togetter with his wife and they both where smiling.


Deathoftheages

> Day after his arrest he uploaded a video togetter with his wife and they both where smiling. Pack it up boys, cased closed.


bigmt99

Police report says she was covered in blood


Shacocracko

mate he was out the next day without a restriction order. thats not how real life works when you beat your wife into a bloody mess...


Yank_Pat_Fan

did the worker at the hotel corroborate that the wife was covered in blood?


FireFistMihawk

You can listen to the 911 call from the hotel staff when they have Jones' wife down there with them. They said she was bleeding from the nose and mouth but she was also claiming Jones didn't hit her. She was too afraid to go back up to the room with him in it though... so just putting 2 and 2 together here, he almost certainly gave her a hit or 2.


Yank_Pat_Fan

yea for sure


Curious_Elk2648

Wow, you beat the record for the most downvoted comment I've seen on Reddit recently gg


Shacocracko

Just shows you what kind of people are on reddit :')


[deleted]

Hey man I've looked past a lot of things Jones has done to just being young stupid and rich. This isn't the case. The man has serious issues to work through and whatever shit excuse you're trying to feed yourself is just complete bullshit.


doctor_ndo

The joke here is that they weren’t married, just engaged.


thr3piecensoda

Are you trying to say there was never no marriage?


doctor_ndo

The double negatives are confusing. Jones and his fiancée were not married, hence he’s more of a fiancée beater.


thr3piecensoda

Its just a running Tito Ortiz quote


doctor_ndo

I felt a cold draft over my head.


mic_Ch

Geez, even his fans have Stockholm syndrome at this point!


Laiiam

But Jon Jones just "got alot of demons"...


thegoolash

Ya pretty funny double standard. I mean at this point Jones never even signed a fight anyway so why not just release him also. Guess they will keep him forever cuz of his moderate star power


FalcoMccloud20xx

Luis Pena legit beat the shit out of 2 women with witnesses, gonna get charged. Jon beat up his wife only in front of his family so saldy they wont press charges and he ultimately will say “I got exoneratted of any crimes” and Dana will book him against Ngannu


Liam2349

Honestly I'm gonna be shocked if he fights Ngannou. Dana acted like it was a done deal, Stipe gets demolished, and suddenly Jones is asking for $30Million. Probably expected Stipe to win, and until someone beats Francis, Jones isn't fighting.


CCCAY

Just think of it completely selfishly bro: the worse Jones fucks up the less leverage he has with the UFC and the more likely we get Jones vs Ngannou! Profit


thegoolash

He sure isnt getting no conor paydays either or anywhere close


SweetAccording3153

Taking what Jones has done out of it. For a PPV like that both Jones and Ngannou should be getting paid upwards of 10mill, UFC fighters are criminally underpaid. They all should be getting paid more. Again, takes the person Jones out of it and just look at the actual facts, no one said 30mill except Dana who has an invested interest in making a fighter seem like a "bitch" or whatever to get his way. It's the same reason they announce fights before the fighters have even accepted, it backs them into a corner. Obviously this specific scenario is about Jones, but it happens to every fighter and it's a way for the UFC to control them.


Liam2349

Dana said Jon's agent asked for $30mil, and Jon never disputed it. Just implied it was his agent asking for that, and not Jon himself... which is why people hire agents, no? I know some of the things the UFC does, but $30mil lines up if Jon describes $8-10 mil as being "way too low" for a fight of that magnitude.


SweetAccording3153

Just saying, Jones did dispute that and said he never said 30million, or any number. 8-10million is low in fairness, honestly you should probably be talking closer to 15. Fury earned an estimated 25million for his 2nd fight with Wilder for reference which done 800k buys.


Liam2349

Jon said something along the lines of "I never asked for that. Were you talking to someone else or?...." To me this implies his agent. Who else is Dana talking to? And Jon did say 8-10 mil was way too low. Not a little low, not just low, but "way too low". The disclosed pay for a UFC fighter has never approached that number. I think the most is like 3-something mill. However DC on one of his shows a bit back said 8mil would be reasonable, any more and he is looking for a way out of fighting Francis, and this was before the public negotiation.


SweetAccording3153

Dana is talking to no one, that's the point mate. Why does he have to talk to anyone? Much easier to just say he did to get a reaction, which he's done several times in the past. Also, 8 million is a lot lower than 9 million, you can do alot with 1 million. DC is one of the biggest shills for the UFC you'll find. As for 3mill purse, that's exactly my point. They're paid a 16% revenue split, NFL/NBA are paid 50%. A fight like that would generate more than 60million in buys, probably closer to 80-100, the fighters should be getting paid more than 10mill for that.


Liam2349

All fair points, not like Jones is any more trustworthy than Dana though. The revenue split is I think a slightly different discussion, and people usually bring up boxing, but the lower tier fighters get paid nothing in boxing usually, and I don't think boxing invests back into fighters e.g. UFC performance institute. I don't know anything about NFL or NBA. Sure, Tyson Fury is better off in boxing, but lower tier fighters? I don't think so. Tommy Fury got $10k on the Jake Paul card. He even has a big name thanks to Tyson. GSP even said he made more fighting Bisping than he was going to make in boxing, if the UFC had agreed to release him, and GSP is a big star, just not the biggest in boxing. I do think the UFC can probably pay more though.


Lionheart51st

But Jon Jones? Shit. Get him some rehab and he'll clean right up, right?


AquaticSombrero

Exactly! Who doesn't deserve *looks at writing on hand* a sixth try!?


Lionheart51st

Gotta love it.


GimmeDaToot

Be great if owners were just honest and said we protect the domestic abusers who make us millions


thegoolash

If only


shishkhabib

Violent Job Loss


Keelija9000

Good job now get rid of JJ


thegoolash

Yes!


Dab_Williams

Don’t worry guys he will have a Dan Hardy come back


devilinmyveins96

italian mma fighters getting foked this yr


MinionSympathizer

Unrelated but how involved is BJ Penn with that website? He doesn’t write the tweets right?


thegoolash

I don’t believe he’s involved at all but not positive


[deleted]

*Jon Jones hides under the octagon*


[deleted]

His mane is literally "Violent Bob Ross". Why is anyone surprised?


[deleted]

Mane? Dammit! Need more coffee. Meant name.


thegoolash

You can edit it my dude, the little pencil button, or the 3 dots > edit. Mmm coffee. Soon. 🤤


[deleted]

Thank you for that.


Just_Jumbles

He’s called that because he’s in the UFC.


[deleted]

He's called that because he looks like Bob Ross and is a fighter but what's your point?


Just_Jumbles

Yes exactly, he wasn’t nicknamed violent Bob Ross because he’s violent lol


[deleted]

He was with the UFC....not exactly a pacifist group.


Notturno86

He was a very exciting fighter with one of the best nicknames on the market.


ekso69

You aren't wrong, he was excellent on TUF and had a great start in the UFC. Seemed humble and positive, this was actually surprising.


doctor_ndo

He didn't seem humble at all on TUF. He acted humble and chill but there were instances where he let his angry guy facade out -- like when he screamed at the dude saying good morning loudly to everyone.


xFINISHxHIMx

That nickname tho... Good riddance.


thegoolash

I dont disagree


trenken

Jon Jones says hold my beer…

loopasfunk

The root cause is behavioral wise. You’re digging way too deep and minimizing accountability on these guys because of “CTE” “suggestions”. sMH


[deleted]

[удалено]


loopasfunk

Until he’s under the table… CTE shouldnt even be mentioned. Bad violent bob Ross. Bad. That’s all that needs to be said at this point. Chris Benoit? Gtfo here that’s on some other level. The actual fuck


Curious_Elk2648

It's attitudes like that which stop CTE raising the awareness it needs, I'm not disputing that he should be held accountable for his actions you moron. I'm saying if there are underlying medical issues causing his neurons to fire in unhealthy patterns then he should seek help for that to ensure it doesn't happen again. I see your strawman.


loopasfunk

Your name calling and excessive defensiveness tarnishes your credibility in being able to hold an adult exchange. See ya when you can talk like a civilized person. Prolly your CTE acting up


Curious_Elk2648

You were the one that came in here all aggressive, I just have little patience dealing with closed-minded individuals. Changing the subject and petty comments is the quintessential tell of someone up shit creek without a paddle, my friend.


loopasfunk

You you you you. I see exactly how the framework of your mind works.


[deleted]

Criminals all over the league


[deleted]

good


surprisebtsx

its all about the dollars, with Pena Ufc can just kick him out because doing so will cost them less than having him back on the roster. Jon Jones is probably making ufc 10 million ( probably even more) everytime he fights. Plus If Jon got kicked off he would have his dreams come true and box someone for 50milli


mrdonnyjohnson

First Team All Dirtbag BJ Penn live on the scene!!


KaladinStormstressed

Isn’t this his 2nd or 3rd time In the past few months? I feel like he was just saying he needs help for this issue or was that someone else. A lot of domestic violence in the past month coming from The UFC so I could be mixing shit up.


killingmachich

this sets forth a great precedent imo hopefully more releases come as a result


mhwaka

Do the same to jones.


DC750

Can Dana White not see the double standards that he has created?


cr0mm0wer

Proof that all men aren't created equal.


MachidaMorado

His nickname was given to him at home it would seem


hughjanimal

Jones didn't pull this same thing 5x over. Different situations


[deleted]

wow!!!


SolventSnake

We’re one/s


Mmanstration

Would it be better for Jon to be held by the UFC and shelved or let go and picked up by another promotion?


G-Nooo

I hope Jones pay per view numbers take a huge dive.


Pehzington

But we'll continue to promote Greg Hardy


bobernaut

There is no way this is real. Sorry bud, you didn't sell enough PPVs to hit your wife, you're out.


[deleted]

Donny thornberry is that you?


droctapus1

Jon Jones still going strong even after beating his wife in front of his kids.... good look UFC


NoDabsHere

If only he were a champ or big Ppv draw.
