"Me and Vitor Belfort are from different generations of fighting. I really believe that in my short career, I've already fought a lot tougher opponents than he has. I feel like I've had more championship caliber fights than he has. I'm ready. I'm just really excited to fight Vitor Belfort, mainly because he's a southpaw. The last time I fought a southpaw was Lyoto (Machida) and I got punched pretty good. I'm really anxious to do a better job against another dangerous southpaw and to look better than what I looked before against Lyoto.
He's a boxer/jiu-jitsu fighter. His versatility is not as good as mine. Where he lacks versatility he does have experience and physical strength. He's a winner, I'm a winner. He's a dominant guy, I believe that I dominated my competition. It's going to be a magnificent display of mixed martial arts."
This fight's kind of hilarious. JBJ turns down a last minute fight, gets a whole UFC cancelled for the first time ever, then gets a 185 pounder to beat on in the very next UFC.
LilBrockonmychest - Oh my fuckin God! Did he say Vitor is a boxer/bjj fighter? He said Vitor's a winner? He has lost before. Talk about inconsistency. What an arrogant asshole. Could he possibly be any more fake?????
Oh ya, and he's too big for LHW but he's only there because he's scared and a coward.
Ahhh the passive aggressive reverse chicken little...
This bones guy is a fucking clown. You're from different generations? Yeah you are. Vitor is a man who fights and has fought anyone, Jon Jones is a GIANT who fights much smaller people then brags about domination.
Go to heavyweight if you want to talk about what a badass you are Jon.

This pretty much sums up a JBJ haters response to this article. Well done, I applaud you.
He actually came off good here. There's nothing wrong whatsoever with what he said. I know there are quite a few posts on this thread bashing JBJ, but it's sarcasm (I'm fairly certain lol).
There does come a time where people have to stop nitpicking every quote he says. If Chael Sonnen says something, it's hilarious and he's just trying to get in his opponents head, but if JBJ says it, he's the devil......oh wait, that's Mir, but you get my drift.
I love watching JBJ fight, but I am in no way a fan boy. I would LOVE Vitor to win, he's one of my all time favs. I just don't know what it will take for people to treat JBJ like every other fighter. A loss? I mean, even when he says something nice about another fighter, he's just being fake, or people will disregard the 10 compliments he made and focus on the 1 questionable thing he said.
As for the fact that he cuts to LHW, so fucking what? Vitor cuts to MW and fought LHW most of his career. What about Randy? When he won the LHW, did people rip him because he was a former HW champ?
I guess it's just come to a point where all of the shitting that JBJ gets is making me sympathetic to him. He's a human and humans make mistakes. I don't think he's any worse than 99.9% of this community.
