Benjamin Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) That's wonderful. He's such a dick, and he got Cormier so freaking riled up. I love how Cormier is able to get under his skin as well, the part where Jon suddenly goes quiet and then "You know I will kill you if you try that, right?" is such a jock move it's basically a cliché.

Your Mom Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I can't believe this stuff. I want Jones to get knocked the fuck out now. They have really sold me on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Why isn't DC getting any shit for wanting to spit in someone's face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Probably because Cormier would say that to Jones' face or on camera, whereas Jones would back down and talk about respect and puppies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRN Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Because spitting in someones face is not an actual death threat. Edited August 9, 2014 by SRN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Spitting in someone's face is a pretty scummy move, but it is a very specific message of disrespect that can be justified. I wouldn't waste one on Jones though. His only crime is that he isn't genuine, this isn't really despisable. It is annoying and it makes him a bit of a prick, but not despisable. However the death threat plus his ability to lie with confidence has made me suspect he is some sort of sociopath anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 He's basically a jock, but he needs to play up the pro athlete stance because he's sponsored by all the big brands and kind of the face of the UFC. I don't get why people are so insulted that he acts differently with a mike in front of his face and without, of course he doesn't talk so professionally when he's being himself, you think LeBron and everybody else talk so soft-spokenly and are super praising of other team's talents?

Liam Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 It makes me laugh how people react to this type of stuff. People try to sell fights and nothing sells fights more than suggested (or genuine) needle. It's all mind games, and that is pretty much all that it is. And as was said, if I was Jones, I'd be doing the same thing - Cormier comes off no better in that video, but frankly, that is what they do. It's like the people who hate on fighters like Bisping - Bisping comes across perfectly fine outside of hyping matches, when he starts to talk/act much more like a douche, because that is a somewhat sellable commodity. People need to separate the fighter from the person more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quom Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I think it's because it's the opposite to usual. Bisping and Sonnen are meant to be nice when they aren't hyping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Mom Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 If only Bisping could fight Jones. Then I would know at least one of them would get their ass kicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lint Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Las Vegas police are searching for a famous MMA fighter who allegedly attacked his girlfriend this weekend, beating her so brutally that she was hospitalized with severe injuries. Police say mixed martial arts fighter War Machine—whose real name is Jon Koppenhaver—went on the run after attacking girlfriend Christy Mack and a third, unnamed party in an altercation on Friday night. Both victims had to be hospitalized and Mack, a well-known porn actress, was apparently left unable to speak due to a broken jaw and eye socket. Koppenhaver, who appeared on the FOX show, Ultimate Fighter, was also signed to a MMA tournament group called Bellator. Bellator's president told TMZ this weekend that Koppenhaver would not be welcomed back. "We have a zero tolerance policy here at Bellator when it relates to any form of domestic violence, and after learning of this latest incident involving (Jon Koppenhaver) War Machine, Bellator is releasing him from his promotional contract with the organization." It's not Koppenhaver's first brush with the law—he was convicted of assault after a 2010 bar fight in San Diego and was apparently arrested on felony domestic assault charges in 2009. Nor does it appear to be the first time Koppenhaver laid hands on Mack. According to FOX Sports: She tweeted last November that War Machine "threatened to kill" her. "He full on beat the s*** out of me, couldn't show my face in public beating," Mack tweeted. She deleted the tweets not long after and War Machine tweeted that the whole thing was a joke. A month later, Mack tweeted that she stayed with War Machine after "several slapping, choking unconscious, smothering, kicking and throwings." According to TMZ, Koppenhaver tweeted—and then deleted—a message to Mack on Saturday, writing "@ChristyMack I love you and hope you're okay. I came him(sp) early to surprise you and help you set up for your convention. I can't believe what I found and can't believe what happened." Mack, who remains hospitalized, has denied the cheating allegations over social media. War Machine has "defended" himself by saying he found Mack cheating on him...because obviously the best way to deal with a woman who is around 5'5 and a lil over 100lbs is to beat the fuck out of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfAnEra Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 He actually tweeted that he wound up having to "fight for his life", which makes it seem like he was attacked and was protecting himself, from his point of view. Considering he had battered her before, and also KO'd someone at a porn convention or something for no reason, I'm betting that didn't happen.

Gabriel Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I believe that he believes that he hasn't done anything wrong. That makes him the absolute worst kind of person. Look at his track record... starts MMA, gets on reality television, doesn't do so well at MMA, legally changes his name to War Machine, decides to try porn, has an altercation at a porn convention that everyone except him says was unnecessary and completely his fault, on the run from the cops, isn't welcome to work for any legitimate pornography companies because he's insane, and now this happens. Apparently, he's beaten her before. As a fan of her work, it's not unlikely that she's telling the truth about that. A lot of pornstars will choose to shoot for a few weeks and then take months off at a time, so when she did it, it wasn't out of place... but it does lend credence to her accusations of the abuse happening in the past. This guy is an idiot, has no concept of reality, and is trained to hurt people. If he was a dog, he'd be put down. At the very least, he should be isolated from society.

Lint Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 He "fought for his life"...a 170lbs 6ft professional MMA fighter against a 5'3 105lbs porn star and who knows what the other guy was...yea "his life" my ass He's also in the past said he believes men are treated worse then the Jews during World War II and slaves in America's past, so he's totally an asshole She referred to him as a ex-boyfriend in her post about the incident..which includes mentions of stab wounds to the point the knife broke and him going to get another knife. This seems more like she's someone he felt was his "property". Her injuries include 18 facial bones broken Nose broken in 2 places numerous lacerations Missings and broken teeth a ruptured liver This isn't a "misunderstanding"...this isn't a "domestic disturbance"...this is flat out attempted murder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Jon Jones has pulled out of the fight with DC injured. It's been rescheduled for January. Balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Mighty Mouse vs Chris Cariaso is the new main event for UFC 178, which seriously weakens 177. Seriously, it appears as though Bethe Correira vs Shayna Baszler is the Co-Main event, which is rather weak IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
