Hahahaah your picture
yes, please.
Exactly! Can't tell if they're fangirling or just incredibly nervous but they need to stfu and let the content speak for itself
@@seanmcsharry2004 lmao it is kind of funny. No lie
@@ivotenotocensorship5247 I only said that cuz I think its the bare knuckle boxing promoter I might be wrong though and that dudes just his doppleganger
Leonard vs Artem Lobov for title of GOAT. Dana make it happen
Lol
Yea and he grew up and became a actor. You know him from Big bang theory.
@@marutsubba lmaaaaao you killed me bro
Outside Madison Square.
@@marutsubba loooool
It’s wild how he got that good in 9 months. The art of fighting is interesting, how some people are just gifted. He beat people who trained their whole lives
Ele foi um wrestler a vida inteira
You also have to consider his build and anatomy, and his reach is the longest in ufc history.
Me for real
Profressional training for 9 months
You cant ignore a life time of athletisism and fighting with your brothers
People just put pros onto a podestal cuz they see them on tv, they put everything on a podstal they see on screen
Most cooks cant cook ad good as your grandma, and they are pros
That same logic you can translate into anything
@@yanico0obadger677 jones' hands are the least of his strenghts so i would not excuse his fight iq with reach away
1:15 "He double legged me and my head hit the concrete"
That experience is probably what drove Jon Jones to get a perfect takedown defence.
no, it isnt
@@AV9000x DC could barely take him down, and DC is one of the best wrestlers in MMA history.
@@H.K.5 yes, Jon Jones is a great wrestler
@@AV9000x yes, it is 🤡
I think they could really push this Leonard v Jones 2 fight
LMAO dudes probably fat and balding now with kids
Glenn Smith 😂😂
jon would murder him
Leonard would win. Even though Jones is obviously far superior as a fighter now, he'll have really strong PTSD flashbacks once he sees Leonard and his mental state won't allow him to fight his best.
wtf fake news? Those are champions....every last one of them. Why even ask?
fuck why are the cazzies discussing mma on espn?
Yeah but sometimes people end up UFC Champs even though they're far from being the best fighter in their division, never had to prove themselves against top guys, and still hold the belt for long periods of time, ex. Bisping.
Dey casuals brah
808 Motives it’s literally drama bait from tmz to try to squeeze a headline out of Jones, I guarantee you tmz was ready with headlines like “JON JONES CALLS OUT MCGREGOR SAYS CONNOR IS ‘FAKE NEWS’ Jones isn’t new and knows to avoid that
@@earlystoppage1233 Ya the disrespect really annoys me. Easy for them while they sit on the couch. Fucking casual money grabbing leeches.
Leonard #1 P4P UFC Champion
Leonard coming for dat strap!! Watch out bones, leonard-jones 2 will be even more brutal
Whos leonard ?
@@andrewtucci5712 a guy who beat jon up when he was a kid
Leonard was 23 at the time while Jon was 14, wasn't even a fair fight.
“Now I’m older, I know the rules” Proceeds to throw illegal knee in last fight
Proceeds to still test hot
I came here to say this lol
Yellow Diablo I thought it was two illegal shots in his last fight lol
Accidents happen
Thought the same shit
The only guy to defeat usada 2-0
ADHD 2-1*
Nah usada is the only one to beat jones their are lot of fighters who beat usada
Yoel is 15-0 against USADA with one NC
@@100ovrbatmanbron7 THank you lol I was about to say
@@khonyeleaglefergumedov9175 Jones beat them too tho, got popped still fought
“Real deal or fake news?” Proceed to show the champions of every weight class. What a dumb segment lol.
Yeah that was beyond ridiculous. One of the stupidest things I've ever seen
Which begs the question: just how good Leonard is?
questions don't beg. stop trying to sound smart. it raises the question, it doesn't beg the question. they weren't assuming that they were right in any argument they made....'pro secret'.....they didn't make any arguments.
@@matthewreid1175 that's irrelavent, questions can't beg
@@matthewreid1175 its not grammar, and it seems you're upset about it.
@@matthewreid1175 why are you so triggered when simple logic is brought up?
@@matthewreid1175 if you're just trying to understand what i'm getting at, you need to learn how to better understand what you read. did you skip the reading comprehension in school?
"I know the rules now"
Throws a knee to a downed opponent in his last fight LMFAO
Jerome Garcia that rule varies in certain places doa like I think it only matters in Lv
Fontanā Collins Jr. False the knee he threw was 100% illegal
Accidents happen
@@bhall3704 One of the knees was defo illegal haha
Jerome Garcia he thought Smith was about to get up and pick up his hand off the canvas. That was just poor timing.
I hate to admit it, but this interview made me like Jon Jones.
Same
@@sshvdow6894 JJ a dope guy is just wild like Tyson was.
Casuals
@@bboybreezi2417 yeah a "dope" guy you're right bro
He always has come across like this on public media.
Jones made this interview watchable, but oof.. those questions were terrible.
JTD472 I totally agree. I kept expecting some Eric Andre type stuff half way through the interview. I also think the hosts were trying to hard to look like each other.
Daniel Cormier is out there looking for leonard
As soon as he seen his mother show more appreciation for the kid that just committed violence, than her own son who was just beat up explains everything.
Honestly yea. That is so messed up. This is the chillest I've ever seen Jon Jones. He looks so comfortable. In UFC he tries too hard to be tough and hard, probably cuz he was raised in an environment where the only way to gain respect was thru strength
leonard is the new mma goat he beat the old p4p best and has never lost ❗️❗️
Chael Sonnen actually
What does Jon Jones do in New York? What ever Lenard tells him :)
''What DOES Jon Jones DOES in New York?'' LOL bravo majstore
@@misevibre auto spell me sjebao.. oooravljeno
Vidim ima te posvagdje
Nothing but respect for this guy always humble and down to earth.
The only time he's down to earth is when he's under the octagon hiding from USADA.
@@touchyissues799 As much as his used steriods and cocaine and abused it in my eyes his still a well respected fighter and nothing can get in his way. Will wait till 6th July and he will prove his title again.
He's a psychopath that follows the rules of societal conduct. He doesn't feel empathy like a normal person.
His recent behavior on twitter proves otherwise. He is fake humble.
i love that jones says cormier is real deal at heavyweight :) respect!
rEAl DeaL or FAkE nEws
Plot twist: the dude named Leonard that kept beating him up is actually 2-time NBA champion Kawhi Leonard
Is khawi from Rochester???? Bad joke just like bad president
Drake will be in Leonard's corner for the rematch.
I confirm, it was me indeed
@@Joao-lk4el shut up bitch
Twisted
Great interview boys. Keep up the good work Steve and Rich.
Leonard's everywhere gonna be using this for years 😂🤣
I shouldn’t be as mad as I am about that dude having his foot on the table for the first half of this interview
Lol that picture of Robert Whittaker was hilarious
3 years later he became the UFC Heavyweight Champion! that's remarkable
what he really meant is "i learned to bypass the USADA rules"
*puts up a picture of a picogram
Real deal or fake news
*puts up a picture of a pregnant woman inside a totalled car
Real deal or fake news
Jerome Garcia i would pay so much to see someone do that to him. But nobody wants to get on Jon Jones’s bad side for any amount of money.
@@loganwolf1188 I'd gladly do it especially for money Lmfao. he fights guys in a cage... You think he's gonna threaten you or catch an assault charge for trolling him? The dudes had more fuck ups than you should before you hit 30. Id hope he has some self control by now
@Super Saiyan Sauce cause he's a fuckin psychopath.
You are a hater
Real Deal or Fake News?
@@bunnyrubyjanee lol you're sitting on UA-cam talking shit about the p4p #1 fighter. Why would he care that some bum on the internet doesn't like him?
Love him or hate him, he's the real GOAT
Awesome interview.
Greatest fighter of all time. Not just of this era. Of all time.
Ginsung doesn’t change the fact that he’s the only person that can beat him
greatest cheater of all time
Avant Campbell Silva popped for PEDs aswell does that make him out of contention too?
@Gucci LightYear jones is a cheating lil bitch hes not best of anything he obvuously cant even show up clean since usada came around except osp fight.
Conor McGregor is the GOAT no jon jones so stfu!
GOAT! Nobody on earth can beat him in a fight!!!
Lmao you are crazy, any bigger dude that is physically strong would able to stop his takedowns and as Jones striking isnt his strongest point hed be pretty easily out struck by a great striker. Even Reyes beat him.
Leonard?
@@uthredraganrson5467 thanks for the laugh
@@uthredraganrson5467 you've got some wires crossed little buddy. Go back to watching golf
@@uthredraganrson5467 This comment did not age well
John is the GOAT...no question. Love this dude.
Jon Jones has a relaxing voice. He could be the next Morgan freeman and narrate stuff.
"You'll never see me go out that way."
Also Jones: *knees Lionheart when grounded*
Leonard is watching this video like ohhh sh**
Damn only 9 months and he's in the ufc crazy as fuck.
But his whole family is talented
Jones vs Leonard 2. I’d love to see that
Plot twist Leonard is the owner of usada
Another great interview by Covino & Rich.....bones is the 🐐
He looks so cool when you speak with him.
Love the way my man jones says il get it done july 6th
lol that picture of Daniel
Leonard from Rochester is actually Deebo from Friday. Jones tried to hide the belt when he saw Deebo riding up the block.
Editing me and jon jones sparring match. Should upload tomorrow
this sounds like a story that I would hate to miss
almost seemed like a nice guy here ... good act, John. good act.
Jon tell that story of the lady you crashed into and ran away leaving her injured. P.s. also say it was gods plan like usual.
arizona tea accidents happen everyday
Thank you for staying 99¢
Delicious "hatorade" your serving up my man.
@@bermonz do they all run off too?
@Arizona tea jj's accident victim called and said stop using her situation to hide behind being a beta male. She said if you truly care confront Jones yourself.
Now I know how he concluded on using steroids for the rest of his life😂😂😂
I Am Canadian And I Love Jon Jones!
what''s with all the audio hiccups?
Rochester NY!!
It wasn’t a double leg that took him out, it was Leonard Nimoy administering the Vulcan Death Grip 💀...R.I.P.
I wanted them to show him a picture of kevin lee lol
Jon Jones says we will never see him disqualified again. Meanwhile he's just coming off a fight where he knee'd his opponent on the ground.
Shut your fucking mouth peasant
2:56 sounds like he said he's not the most athletic guy but the video was edited or something lol
Good catch. That was weird. LOL
I don't think the video is edited, I think Jones just cut himself off
LMAO who knew my favorite fighter was some guy name Lenard from New York . He’s undefeated against Jon Jones if you haven’t heard 😂🤷♂️
When he fought Gustaffson the 1st time the look on his face was that he lost so didn't everyone else that saw the fight that night.
Jon Jones saying he no the rules priceless
its crazy i saw that dq fight on tnt years ago
wtf did you edit out that jon jones said about dustin porier?
UFC should give Leonard a belt right now!
The greatest fighter who ever lived
04:31 dude on the left had good dap game but look how Jones instinctively knew the guy on the right had no dap game.
Jones looking like he about to sell me a Prius.
That belt looks better on that table than ever
"now i know the rules" : throws an illegal knee in his last fight
@Don Riller Calm down brah. You're getting a little too worked up. Doesn't change the fact that Jon Jones is one of the best pound to pound fighter in UFC. Light Heavyweight division wouldn't be the same anymore if he is gone. Everybody knows that deep down.
Would have liked to have seen a Tony Ferguson Real Deal or Fake News
Leonard should fight Matt Hamill for the #1 PPV spot
Jones vs Leonard 2! Make it happen Dana!
Jon was able to kill him then and now
for all the bad wrap this guy gets he actually seems like a really cool guy.
@WIKIPEDIA the run over a pregnant lady and ran away... is probably the only significant immoral act there - so I do agree with you on that. It sucks that his career is tainted by PEDS... but the more I read up on this sport the more I get the feeling he started in an era where EVERYONE was on it.
From victim to the greatest fighter in history.
From actual victim to pretend-victim.
Wheres tony ferguson? So fkn underrated
“Say if any of these fighters are not the real deal”
*Shows only champions*
Now I know the rules and still poke eyes and kick crotches .. hallelujah
they show pictures of the ufc champions and ask are they the real deal, i mean, come on
How do you not hold up a Tony Ferguson picture
But he is 0-2 against pictograms
Not really. I only got suspended for the first original dirty drug test, and he got to fight regardless of the other two dirties. He wanted was paid full, how is that losing?
Actually 2-0. The pictogram has never stopped Jon Jones
Change the music my god bro
A lot of hate in the comment section. JBJ is the best and the best dnt care what you thing
he gets tested almost everyday. He's 454-2 against picograms
Picogram is helping him to prepare xD
Joney Bones has been low key planting THE SEED all year
Huh
next time put hosts that know about mma
If I am anywhere in a club in New York my name will change to Leonard for that night.
Jon jones got into UFC after only 9 months of trainning? Wow thats like if you started training MMA now you will be in UFC having your first fight around march next year
Leonard vs Matt Hamil the 2 people who beat Jon Jones Dana make it happen
Shots fired at Adesanya
God damn Leonard must feel like a boss walking round knowing he once beat up theee Jon bones Jones. Either that or he scared shitless in hiding somewhere 😂
He better be in hiding cause Jon would KILL him now! lol
I wonder if Jon Jones ever talked with Leonard again
Jones vs Leonard Make it happen Dana
True story. The funny thing is I’ve heard that story about him getting slammed as a kid. I live in rochester NY and know a few people who grew up with Jon Jones.
Me too. We gotta find Leonard and get that man in the Octagon
@@redcomic619 he's probably dead or in prison
This guy gets so much shit for the PEDs thing when really what makes him this great is his creativity, confidence, calm, perfect gameplan every time and let's face it, genes (6'4 LHW with elbows like warhammers). This guy would dominate anyways, but his legend will always be tarnished. Coming from a huge GSP fan btw.
would you do fine against ngannou at heavyweight though?
I just came here for the comments 🔥🔥🔥
Jones break character ,sniffs a huge line and pokes the reporters in the eye
THATS CORPORATION OPERATIONS AT ITS BEST.
I guess after that loss to Leonard he upped his takedown defence
Biggest upset if Tiago gets him
Nice to see the champ is back🐐🤴🏾🇩🇪🇪🇺🙌🏻🙌
Jon is undefeated.
Before I thought Jones was ducking Ngannou but 4:20 says it all
My mom is the same as jons.She would pay money to see me get beat up.
