Let's see how responsible you are if you had to adhere to strict training schedules, have to do a ton of interviews and are the face of an organization at the age of 24. The fans that hate on this guy time and time again are what give mma a bad eye. People view mma fans as angry, racist, immature white guys.

Yeah, but not many, and you bringing up jds race is nothing as blacks are the most hated on race in the world. Also, none of those other fighters are as outspoken as Jon Jones. Since the early 1900s, loud mouthed black fighters that weren't afraid to speak their mind and oppose societies norms have been getting criticized by the largely white american audience. From Jack Johnson to Muhammed Ali, whites have always fought against iconic black athletes.

All of this is true, but you've gotta understand that mma fans are a different breed of weird than the other populations of society.

Thanks for exposing what you are. I applaud you. At least you're not like the tons of white fans out there that make up bs reasons for why they hate jon jones just so they can hide the true reasons. You're a racist like a lot of the fans that hate him. At least you're honest about it.

Jones is very outspoken and honest. In recent fights, against Ryan Bader and Shogun, he talked about how he felt he'd win because he felt he was stronger, faster than his opponent. He also questioned Shogun's heart leading up to the fight. All this talk caused a lot of fans that are supposedly viewers of one of the most brutal sporting events in the world into a bunch of soft, whinny girls. From around that point people have carried a weird hatred over this guy.

Just now, someone on Sherdog, the largest mma online community in the world, posted that they'd like to see jones removed from the world and questioned what he contributed to society compared to others like eintstein, newton, etc This thread is currently at 80 posts. The user has yet to be banned and the thread has not been deleted. I guarantee you if I posted the same racial bs about a white fighter on there i would be banned within the first ten posts. MMa fans are racist.

I believe a lot of it has to do with race, and most white people will disagree with me here, but hey, they live life through a different perspective than blacks do, so how can anyone expect such a devilish group of people like them to be able to empathize

Define Jon Jones: MMA God and an inspiration to many

well said.

Jon Jones haters make themselves look bad. If you look at the comments of a lot of them, they are often stupid, immature, disrespectful individuals. Why would anyone want to have them as fans? They say real recognizes real. Jones is too real for the dumb, fake mma whiteboy fans.

The hate is making him a stronger person. He is a good role model for kids.

that's not true at all. Jones has always said that he loves martial arts and it's his calling in life. It seems like a lot of people that hate on jones don't know what the hell they're talking about. They just make stuff up.

Exactly. MMA fans keep making themselves look bad. Calling a professional fighter a fagget, really?

It's true. There's a huge amount of racists within the mma community. Think about history of the ufc. The ufc was built on white stars like Chuck Liddel, Randy Couture, Matt Hughes..etc. The average mma fan is a white male 18-34. They latched onto those guys and hate to see a guy like Jon Jones taking over a sport that was called a white man's sport. The level of hate jon jones gets is way overboard and speaks of there being a lot of personal emotions that go into it.

I'd define Jon Jones as a trailblazer. So many people bag on his confident attitude, but I applaud it. I applaud anyone that thinks highly of themselves and pushes the boundaries of what they can accomplish while trying to be a positive role model for kids. What I can't applaud are the "adults" out there that hang on every little word this kid says and try to tear him down.
