Always rated bones, no matter what you think of him he has flawless talent and is a supreme fighter but hearing him speak makes me actually like the guy more,
I went back and watched Jones vs Shogun, Rampage, & Machida pre fight press conference videos to read all of the haters go on & on about how Jones was gonna get destroyed. Then AND STILL CHAMPION....
@coolman949 No it was booked before they announced who the headliners are. If you look at Wikipedia they have venues booked but with no fighters on the card.
Jose Aldo still has his title. Anderson Silva still has his title. Hector Lombard still has his title. Jake Shields still has his Strikeforce title. Allistair still has his Strikeforce title. Your point?
This will come down on how Rashad's brakes through Jones range. if he does, Jones will get rocked, however if Jones keeps the distance its going to be a one pain ride for Rashad. Cant wait for this main even, explosiveness vs versatility.
@NatsuDragneel1 PS. Jones has been my favorite fighter since his Bonnar fight, and I live in Canada where a lot of people's favorite fighter is GSP...I sorta took the high road. Thanks for coming out.
i still think the only reason jones wins, and is able to do what he does is because he is so much bigger than all the other guys on the division, he should be a heavyweight
Rashad definitely had the tools to beat Jones, I just can't see it happening. I like Rashad, I think he's got great boxing, tremendous speed and his wrestling speaks for itself. Although Jones is just a totally different beast altogether.
People who complain about John Jones attitude need to get of there own high horse and ask themselves what makes them so perfect and what right they have to judge!
Big difference between being the more talented guy and being the better fighter. Jones is more talented and has a wider skill set no doubt, but is he a better fighter? No one has really put him in any danger yet so we can't know. Rashad knows what it's like to be put in trouble, and still go on to get the win. Bones could dominate the whole fight, but Rashad is explosive enough that it only takes one shot. I still think Jones will win, but who knows, don't count out Rashad. Bring on April 21st!
This will probably the last test for Jon if he beats Rashad then i don't see anyone else beating Jones, he ran through a skilled muay thai fighter(Shogun), a skilled boxer(Rampage), and an unorthadox striker just like Jones(Lyoto), only a really good wrestler like Rashad has a chance.
I love Bones but Rashad's in his prime and will be the best he's ever been. And i think he'll control him on the ground plus he's quick enough to get inside the reach of Jones. I'm going Rashad
No he's not, Tito is actually the fighter who still remains by defending the lhw title ( 5 times) more than anyone in the lightheavyweight in UFC history, even more than Liddell ( 4 times).
jones isn't cocky.. people need to realise the difference between cocky and confidence.. you have to remember he's 24... put yourself in his shoes and see if you wouldn't be confident.
@MrHsharris How does Jones not respect his opponents plz explain that? Can u quote him on n e thing where he said n e thing disrespectful about n e one he fought?
For everyone asking.. Nick Diaz's fighter license was suspended for 12 months by the Nevada fight commission and even though Diaz retired, he is planning on fighting the suspension. He has a weed card
@douchpooch111 ...for starters, how about recognizing who is the guy that sports the belt. If you dont know who I'm talking about, is the guy sitting on the left side of the conference table.
first, Jones is going to win by murder. i mean ko... and second if Rashad did win it would be far from the bigest upset in history... hes good... has only lost 1 fight... hows that a great upset?
I love the parts 13:16 & 28:28 Jon Jones is one of the most unsympathetic guys I ever seen. The problem is that these guys are very often succesful because they are working very hard. But their curse is that many people dislike them.
Pretty hard for me to see Rashad winning this. He has a punchers chance, but Jones should be able to use his reach to outstrike him. No one has been able to out wrestle Jones yet. If there is anyone who could do it Rashad might be the guy, but I doubt. I got Jones winning by second round tko
Hell yeah man! We ain't the ones that wanna see Silva dance around alll the time can't wait to see Sonnen drop him again and again and finish him this time!
@king000546 no he had minor trouble with Machida styles thats it a style people had trouble with for 5 years in the ufc he ajusted in under 2 rounds and left him sleeping on the mat
Always rated bones, no matter what you think of him he has flawless talent and is a supreme fighter but hearing him speak makes me actually like the guy more,
press conference starts at 00:00
Thanks
starts 3:33
man, the ufc is soooooooooo much better at giving a show than any boxing event!!!! love it!
LMAO at Rashad's impersonation of Jon Jones 28:25
Bones FTW tho. JJ reppin' Bruce Lee
this was the best press conference i've seen so far. fans were great, the questions were awesome, and bones and suga just makes it that much better!
I respect both of them, because I know as a fighter you need to respect them even if you gonna fight them.
Jones is a killer. I used to always be critical of him and thought he was over hyped...I was wrong. Jones by TKO
THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTS IN THE HISTORY OF MMA.
Not just UFC - THE ENTIRE MMA.
I went back and watched Jones vs Shogun, Rampage, & Machida pre fight press conference videos to read all of the haters go on & on about how Jones was gonna get destroyed. Then AND STILL CHAMPION....
Jones vs Evans. Finally. I been waiting for this fight since Jones won the title.
That press conference was awesome. Can not wait to watch this fight on my birthday!
Hire some new engineers. Sound has been screwed up the last few videos.
i like how rashad is not cocky but confidence now
love the jones vs.evans poster especially the sick looking font for the logo
Y THIS VIDEO ONLY COME OUT OF ONE SPEAKER?!
I think this was the best press conference because of the audience.
@MrHsharris not to mention that the Ultimate Fighter finale was a war he won that heavyweight tournament as a small heavyweight
@coolman949 No it was booked before they announced who the headliners are. If you look at Wikipedia they have venues booked but with no fighters on the card.
Both these guys are great fighters. It's going to be an awesome fight.
Anyone know the song at the start of the video?
this should of been presented to be bigger than a mayweather or ali event this is sports history right now, these two athletes will impress the world
Let's all cheer for Rashad, so he doesn't die too early and we can enjoy a longer fight.
Jose Aldo still has his title.
Anderson Silva still has his title.
Hector Lombard still has his title.
Jake Shields still has his Strikeforce title.
Allistair still has his Strikeforce title.
Your point?
"we love each other, we'll never fight ...", this gonna be a hell of a fight !!
This will come down on how Rashad's brakes through Jones range. if he does, Jones will get rocked, however if Jones keeps the distance its going to be a one pain ride for Rashad. Cant wait for this main even, explosiveness vs versatility.
@NatsuDragneel1 PS. Jones has been my favorite fighter since his Bonnar fight, and I live in Canada where a lot of people's favorite fighter is GSP...I sorta took the high road. Thanks for coming out.
the rashad hype man was the best part of this presser, "you dont need no friends!!"
I love the kid who is talking whenever he wants in the middle of the press conference..
He just doesnt give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Can't hear the questions! :(
i still think the only reason jones wins, and is able to do what he does is because he is so much bigger than all the other guys on the division, he should be a heavyweight
lol every damn press conference, Jones has the least fans and gets the most boo's
where do u get that shirt ? jeet kune do'
Rashad definitely had the tools to beat Jones, I just can't see it happening. I like Rashad, I think he's got great boxing, tremendous speed and his wrestling speaks for itself. Although Jones is just a totally different beast altogether.
Man it really doesn't look like they're in the same weight division when they face off at the end. Jones looks fucking huge
Very entertaining press conference, with some awesome characters in the fan section lol.
bad audio :(
is that stephen wonderboy thompson in the front row?
That fan was funny, the only thing he missed to say was in the Staredown, "Jones, Rashad aint over There!"
"We love each other we wont fight each other" LMAO!
In the description it says jones is a lighyweight
This has got me SOOOOOOOO excited for this fight, Rashad better win this shit or I will be really upset.
Got better questions out of the fans than the journalists and bloggers.
People who complain about John Jones attitude need to get of there own high horse and ask themselves what makes them so perfect and what right they have to judge!

and GSP. They are the 2 only. They both have been unbeatable for over 5 years now.
there are 44 ufc events this year that means 8 weeks without a fight.
My right ear loved this press-conf.
any 2021 heads up in here?
I so agree with Rashad saying anyone can lose on any single day. There is no such a thing of " A chosen one".
Jon is the chosen one
WATCH FROM 28:27 FOR AN AMAZING JON JONES IMPRESSION !
This will probably the last test for Jon if he beats Rashad then i don't see anyone else beating Jones, he ran through a skilled muay thai fighter(Shogun), a skilled boxer(Rampage), and an unorthadox striker just like Jones(Lyoto), only a really good wrestler like Rashad has a chance.
I love Bones but Rashad's in his prime and will be the best he's ever been. And i think he'll control him on the ground plus he's quick enough to get inside the reach of Jones.
I'm going Rashad
If Evans can't do it, I don't think anyone in the division can. This is the last real threat.
I feel so sorry for Rashad because of his injuries that I'm rooting for him.
Jones is the man! He has crazy skills, you got to respect what he has done at a really young age.
That has to be Rashad Evans' biggest fan.
No he's not, Tito is actually the fighter who still remains by defending the lhw title ( 5 times) more than anyone in the lightheavyweight in UFC history, even more than Liddell ( 4 times).
Johnny 'Bones' Jones: Wins: 8 Knockouts , 5 Submissions , 2 decisions | Losses: 1 by DQ
'Sugar' Rashad Evans: Wins: 6 Knockouts , 2 Submissions , 9 decisions | Losses: 1 by KO
jones isn't cocky.. people need to realise the difference between cocky and confidence.. you have to remember he's 24... put yourself in his shoes and see if you wouldn't be confident.
anybody knows the t-shirt Jones is wearing where can you buy it??is it adidas nike or what?????????????????????????
@kumplerngthom i agree, what do you think makes jones so good ?
@mcclellandcourier
I am too. The oddsmakers have him mad underrated.
Can ne1 plz let me know what does the hype man said @ 28:28 n make Dana look up n smile thank you
Don't know man. I love Dan Henderson, but I don't think he could land on Jones. Rashad's speed and movement is different to other LHWs.
damn that 'injury' reporter got OWNED
What about anderson silva?
i want to see how jones does in the heavyweight division
his frame is so frikkin huge
lets campaign to see him there within the next 1-1,5 years
Hes the GOAT
@TheTrallica you do know that shogun said that his knee was fine the whole fight
Jones is extremely disrespectful: the way he treated Rampage n Machida. I hope Rashad brings him back down to earth
Rashad deserves to have this belt. But I love Jonny too.
JONES WEARING A JEET KUNE DO SHIRT! thats a instant hit in my books!
@gioojj Machida has Evans' number forsure. I'm not sure about Jones though
RASHAD's psicology degree & impressions are definitly a great tool , specially against Jones's ego...
@MrHsharris How does Jones not respect his opponents plz explain that? Can u quote him on n e thing where he said n e thing disrespectful about n e one he fought?
For everyone asking.. Nick Diaz's fighter license was suspended for 12 months by the Nevada fight commission and even though Diaz retired, he is planning on fighting the suspension. He has a weed card
"That's not Franklin McNeil...close enough" LOL
That guy whos on Rashads side yelling out Blackzilians all the time is one funny dude!
No disrepect to Evans, he has come a long way in his fight game. I just dont see him beating Jones though. just my opinion though.
Cant stand both guys, but god plz let Jones get KTFO
@Braaaandon95 Damn, so is he putting on a ton of pounds for this match or is Rashad cutting to 155?!!
@douchpooch111 ...for starters, how about recognizing who is the guy that sports the belt. If you dont know who I'm talking about, is the guy sitting on the left side of the conference table.
thought i was the only one who realized mousasi's talent
Apparently jon jones is now the lightweight champion according to the description!
first, Jones is going to win by murder. i mean ko... and second if Rashad did win it would be far from the bigest upset in history... hes good... has only lost 1 fight... hows that a great upset?
I love the parts 13:16 & 28:28
Jon Jones is one of the most unsympathetic guys I ever seen. The problem is that these guys are very often succesful because they are working very hard. But their curse is that many people dislike them.
Man when he fought Rampage i didn't liked him, but now Rashad is beginning to grow on me.
at 8:17, you can hear the "ok here it comes, i was waiting for this shit" reactions from the crowd lol
Pretty hard for me to see Rashad winning this. He has a punchers chance, but Jones should be able to use his reach to outstrike him. No one has been able to out wrestle Jones yet. If there is anyone who could do it Rashad might be the guy, but I doubt. I got Jones winning by second round tko
Rashad has really improved his trash talk lol, he was on fire 2day
Hell yeah man! We ain't the ones that wanna see Silva dance around alll the time can't wait to see Sonnen drop him again and again and finish him this time!
@Artamis2010 some people dont even cut till 2 weeks before a fight (anderson silva is one) 8-9 weeks is nothing
Jones: 'You Bones fans you better wake up out there seriously'
The one Bones fan: 'Hey Jon...'
"won't go 5 rounds", thats right lie to us Rashad.
@manz92 how many books do you have? :D
@normalpsychology that whole body language thing was BRILLIANT !
Q: Why guys like Jones and Evans weigh like 220 or whatever just don't fight in heavyweight?
@king000546 no he had minor trouble with Machida styles thats it a style people had trouble with for 5 years in the ufc he ajusted in under 2 rounds and left him sleeping on the mat
why were the fans asking better questions than the "media" lol
But wait.... I remember when Rashad claimed that it was "His" time and that he was the" Best".
