I'm talking about Bones comment. The posters have spoken.

you want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is 23, but he is starting to believe or believes he is bigger then the game, your fall is going to be hard, reminds me of a certain baddest man in the world or planet, who looked like dogshit in his last two fights, and would've lost both if Carwin had realized and backed off, grow up son

JONES: It's a silly one. I would get rid of the replica belts.
Like the ones they sell at the events?
JONES: Yeah. I hate it when people come up to me with a belt that
looks exactly like mine and they ask me to sign it. I worked three times
a day for three years to get this [light heavyweight championship]
belt, and now this guy asking me for an autograph has one just like it.
Are you serious? I mean it's not as heavy, but it looks just the same.
I like that. I don't think it's silly at all.
JONES: I never sign those belts.

It's beginning to look more and more like GDP was speaking the truth.

I've been educating people on this Diva for a while.

Like I said, he is like the smokin hot chick that annoys the shit out of you. Have no problems watching her perform, just don't want to talk to her when it's done.

UFC Champ Jon Jones: "I saw a lot of things that I can exploit in Rampage's game"

Jon Jones (13-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was sitting in a crowded Texas club when Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (32-8 MMA, 7-2 UFC) fought Matt Hamill at UFC 130.

But it might as well have been Jones fighting for all the stares coming his way. Perhaps the clubbers knew as well as he that the outcome of the bout would probably point his career in one direction or another.

Whatever they were thinking, it gave Jones little pause from the task at hand: watching Jackson. Maybe, though, he already knew in what direction he was headed.

"It was so awkward because I couldn't afford to think of the people around me," Jones told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on the set of KSwiss' new commercial campaign featuring fictional character Kenny Powers. "I was so in the zone; I was like, 'Wow, I'm looking like a total creep right now.'"

But before Jones snapped out of it and got back to the fans, he digested what Jackson was doing. Head movement, footwork, emotions, cardio – everything.

"I was really in the fight with watching head movement and footsteps and tendencies and emotions, cardio, how big his stomach was moving," Jones said. "I was pretty in touch with what was going on."

Now, the important question: Did he see anything he could use?

"Definitely; I liked what I saw," he said. "I saw a lot of things that I can exploit in Rampage's game. The obvious difference is in the way we fought Hamill. I fought Hamill and I was dominating the fight in the first minutes of the fight.

"'Rampage' had a very competitive fight match with Matt. So that was something I took into consideration right away."

By now, there's no more illusion about when the two will meet. Jones and Jackson are booked in the main event of UFC 135, which takes place Sept. 25 at Denver's Pepsi Center. It's Jones' first fight since taking the light-heavyweight title from Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 in what's been a whirlwind ride to the top of the division, and Jackson's first chance at regaining the title he lost at UFC 86 against Forrest Griffin.

The former PRIDE star's performance fight against Hamill did not meet unanimous praise – to put it lightly. With Hamill unable to get the fight to the ground and Jackson hesitant to let his hands go lest he be taken down, the fight was booed through much of its second half, and according to several reports, a good portion of the audience left before judges unanimously ruled Jackson the winner.

But according to Jones, Hamill bears much of the responsibility for that.

"I think Hamill was timid," he said. "I don't know if he really came to win. He shot a lot of half-shots. He did a lot of attempts. There's a difference between really trying for a takedown and attempting a takedown. Even though trying and attempting kind of go hand and hand, there's a difference there.

"He went for an attempt but never really tried to take Rampage down and really gave it his all to finish the takedown. So my respect for Rampage has really been reestablished as him being a fighter, not only an actor."

Still, there are those who think Jackson's edge has dulled over the course of the past few years. A burgeoning film career has shown him life beyond the fight game, and he's gone so far as to say that if he could be a full-time actor, he would. He's continued to win, of course, amassing a 4-1 record since the loss of his championship. Those wins, however, haven't come easy, nor have his performances looked anything like those that brought him so much acclaim earlier in his career.

Jones won't go so far as to say Jackson is on the downslope of an 11-year tour in MMA. He disagrees with the idea that the 33-year-old fighter can't pull the trigger any more. But he does acknowledge that there has been a change, if not in Jackson's skillset, then in his drive to fight.

"Rampage hits you with one of his punches, you'll be in a lot of trouble," Jones said. "I think Rampage is aware of the fact that he's living a good life, he's getting a little bit older, (and) maybe his passion, hunger, drive, determination - it could be suffering.

"I'm not saying it has, but it's a possibility. I think he fights that way. He's smart. He knows when to conserve his energy and when to explode if necessary. He chooses shots wisely. He's not the 23-year-old he used to be in those PRIDE days when he could swing for the fences every round. And he's an explosive athlete. Explosive athletes usually don't have the best cardio. When you're an explosive athlete and getting old, it's an interesting dynamic to deal with."

Staying away from Jackson's heavy hands is top priority No. 1 for the undefeated Jones, though he'll enjoy a significant reach advantage, as he does with most of the opponents he faces. He'll also bring to bear an aggressive takedown and ground and pound game that has thus far overwhelmed all of his opponents. But as to what tact he takes on Sept. 25, he said little.

At the time of the interview, Jones was still seeking clearance for a bothersome hand injury that sacked his bout with Rashad Evans at UFC 133. He's now free from that burden and is training for the bout at Greg Jackson's academy in Albuquerque, N.M.

Jones is sure to have compared notes with the renowned strategist based on that night. Now, it's a matter of putting a plan together.

"There's a lot of other things I'll be able to use to my advantage when the fight comes," Jones said.

Man the Bones hate train continues to pick up steam. Kings is hating on Bones for something Bones never even said.

Im figuring he busts Page up much like he has busted up his 5 or 6 previous opponents. And ill be rooting for it.

And with comments about refusing to sign replica belts that people buy at fuckin gift shops or something because its somehow a slap in the face to the work he's put in...hmmm I wonder why

He's quickly gone from my top 3 most liked fighters to my top 3 most hated.

I still think Bones is going to beat Page up.

he is, but still, guys a douche

Page can win, but he will have to make sure he stays on his feet, if he gets taken down, Jones' ground game will take over. If it is not Page to do it he has some tough matchups coming his way, Machida, Evans he will get his.

I just don't see Page winning this, as much as i want him to. Jones is too long and too quick for an aging Jackson IMO. Sure, he can land a big punch and knock him out but then again so can anyone.

That comment is 100% douchier than anything that Sonnen (who is absolutely awesome with fans BTW, total class act) has ever said.

Roid's, fraud, zero UFC finishes, and the need to create a persona to sell fights? Whatever, I'll roll with the completely dominant, although still immature cause hes only 24, Bones Jones.

Ill leave Chael and his schtick to the tuffernutters.

Jon Bones Jones will sight the high altitude as an impediment on his performance come fight night and nuthuggers will interpret that as fucking with Rashad's mind...even though he's fighting Rampage.

I thought you had something i was claiming he said and then bashing him. This is simply a joke inspired by a couple of posters here interpreting little things like Jones pulling out with an injury yet saying he could have fought as fucking with Rashad's mind. I thought that was silly.
