UFC Quick Quote: Jon 'Bones' Jones vs Stupid 'Slow' White Boy?

"I hope I am not fighting Jon 'Bones' Jones. I might be. F*ck it; if I am, I am. I will do it, but I am not even training right now. That is a bad dude. That dude will whoop my ass. F*ck it. What is the worst, I mean, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva. It should not be worse than that, right? Every fight I go into, no matter what happens, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva. Because that sh*t was a year ago and literally every day people ask me something about that - 'What happened? What happened?' [Anderson punched me in the chin] Repeatedly and I was very confused. I tried to punch him and he literally moved his head out of the way and looked at me like I was stupid for doing it. He looked at me like - 'Why would you do such a stupid thing?' He looked at me like - 'Oh, did you really think you were going to hit me? What a stupid thing to think, you slow slow white boy.' Then he punched me. I felt embarrassed for even trying to punch him."
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin tells Jason Ellis (via Bloody Elbow) that facing Jon Jones is like fighting Anderson Silva in that he'll probably get his ass kicked inside of three minutes. Is "Bones" going to be paired up with Griffin in late 2010/early 2011? Or is the new best-selling author too busy selling books to see the inside of a cage in time to throw down with the future star?

He starts out saying how Jon Jones would whip his ass if he has to fight him...
…but nothing could be worse than what Anderson did to him. He goes on to say that he was confused, because when he tried to punch Silva, he literally moved his head out of the way and thought to himself `Why would you try that you slow white boy`.

Also he says at the end:
“I felt like some kid who tried to wrestle with his dad”

Really worth watchin
Even Ellis is laughing along with Forrest at his embarrassment. Gotta love Griffin. I think he’s hilarious
Went to my first jits class. Don't think I was ever so happy with getting my ass handed to me
lmfao
i couldn’t stop laughing when i was reading this shit. because I’m sure that’s exactly what Anderson was thinking, lol. Forrest has gained a notch now in my book for acknowledging how embarrassing that was.
I don't think i'll ever get tired of watching forrest get smashed.

Too funny
99% of the stuff that comes of of Forrest’s mouth is comedy gold. He’s going to make a ton of money after fighting whether it’s with the UFC or in TV/movies. I love the guy and wish he would start training with a different camp. He doesn’t seem to get a whole lot out of his current training partners. I understand that everyone has different attributes and abilities but there is something to be said for his lack of power and speed. Those can be built up and strengthened.
Oh the other 1% would be his mouthpiece.
This is why we love Forrest.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
I love Forrest, he always tells you the truth.

This turned me as well. I didn`t care for a while, but I like him again as well
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Though it does make me think his fighting career is drawing short.
While this was funny, I don’t think he takes his fights seriously anymore.
I think he might have never taken them seriously.
Just got by on grit and toughness coupled with a bit of talent.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Forrest fights best
when he DOESN’T take himself seriously. Since winning the belt, Forrest started to think of himself as a good fighter instead of a yard dog…and it killed his career. He ceased to be the “who-gives-a-shit-just-lemme-at-em” guy that was so exciting to watch. I’ve always loved Forrest for his humor and humility. But I think getting totally outclassed like that might be the best thing that ever happened to him, cause maybe he realizes again where he really stands skill-wise and that it’s his tenacity and heart that the fans want to see.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
good thinking.
Whatever happens, I am pretty sure he is financially set for life.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Huh, never thought of it that way but you may be right.
But, I meant more along the lines of he doesn’t want to fight anymore. He just seems lazy in a sense.
I can see Forrest having his own weekly TV show at some point
People would just tune in to see him goof around with MMA personalities, even if the content wasn’t informative.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
The Forest and Bas show!!!
Someone get SPIKE to green light this IMMEDIATELY!!!

"I was in the moment, and the moment said smack you." - Bruce Willis
I just think that he started fighting better fighters.
“grit and toughness” I agree free, but a “bit of talent?” Not at all imo. He is below average at everything. I love that Silva fight! Anderson looked like the Matrix!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
"below average"???
Gimme a break, dude. Forrest may not be a TOP 5, but he is certainly not “below average”. Nobody in the UFC is below average. Forrest is an exceptionally good fighter. The fact that there are 5-10 guys in the world who are clearly better doesn’t make him “below average.”
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Below average at everything?
Forrest beat the #2 ranked LHW in the world (Rua) and he beat the #1 ranked LHW (both at the time) to win the strap?
Your idea of below average is hillarious and I can hear your excuses for Shogun and Page already entering the conversation.
I am a huge fan of the guy because he won a belt with inferior talent. That doesn’t happen by LUCK. It happens by working hard and having a good gameplan. Forrest had both for those fights. Better than liking a guy who has all the talent in the world and hides behind his “lack of language” and his fat-slob manager that only wants to fight guys he knows he can beat.

I had Rampage winning that close decision...
But besides that I agree with you.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Murph, if anything I have MORE respect because Forrest lacks the natural ability fighters like Rua, Silva, or Jones have
He’s scrappy, and I will always root for the scrappy guy. Reason why I love Steve Nash, loved Teddy Bruschi, and even though he was a little before my time loved Lenny Dykstra.
Funny story about Dykstra...
He used to chew so much tobacco during a game that sometimes the other team’s centerfielder’s would complain to the grounds crew.
You would see guys scramble out between innings to pick up the piles. They looked like dog poop.

I didn't think he won the Rampage fight....
and shogun was beating him up all three rounds until he got choked out. Just saying….. but winning is what counts and for a short while he was on my p4p list.

I had the Page fight a draw, due to a 10-8 round (47-47)
But he still hung with the guy when all the pundits said Page would crush him. Gotta respect that.
Sure he isn’t top 5 (maybe not top 10), but he is good for the sport.

I had Forrest easily taking three rounds,plus a 10-8. Rampage did nothing.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
no way
Forrest def had a 10-8, then there were 3 rounds for Rampage and one that was too close to call. Shoulda been 48-46 Rampage or 47-47 draw.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I had it..
R1 : 10 – 9 Rampage
R2 : 10 – 8 Forrest
R3 : 9 – 9 Draw
R4 : 10 – 9 Forrest
R5 : 9 – 9 Draw
47 – 45 Forrest

sounds like it's time
to visit your optometrist. Your prescription needs an update.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I for one see it as Forest haven given up on the thought of having a successful fighting career
That’s twice that he’s joked about not wanting to fight Bones and add that to the fact that he didn’t want to fight Lil Nog in the beginning either. He’s come face to face with the fact that his skills are subpar when it comes to the top 10 picture. His humor is usually very funny but it can get old when you realize its his way of telling everyone he’s not shit.
To me in this sport, it’s fighting, it’s mixed martial arts, and I feel there’s too many athletes and not enough fighters…I think these people going in taking these sports enhancement drugs, they’re not real fighters, they’re athletes. I’m a fighter. I’m a real fighter. That’s all I did my whole life. - BJ Penn
he's just returned to realism.
For a while there he got a little big for his britches and started thinking he really was a TOP 3. Now he realizes that there’s another plane of reality above him that those guys are on…and he’d rather stick to fighting big names on his own plane. He was doing well against Rashad till he got caught and proved he can hold his own with Rampage, and I think he’d gladly accept a rematch of either of those fights. He just never wants to get completely humiliated again like he did against Anderson…and Bones has a way of making good fighters like Forrest look like inanimate heavy bags.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Hahaha
Good stuff. I like it when someone can just say it how it is. He got clowned and fully accepts it. I have always liked Forrest… I do feel that he changed when he got the belt and hopefully he will go back to old Forrest
enzo-enormous
This interview is even funnier if you listen to it
it’s on youtube
I really hope they dont make this fight happen
forrest is just gunna give up and run away again…..give jones machida or evans quit giving him wins
God is too big for just one religion...
I think Forrest would get beat by Jones pretty easily
I like Griffin but Jones needs to fight someone who can potentially beat him. Page/Shad(won’t happen I know)/Machida/lil Nog/Couture/Ace. He needs top 5. He’s on a good win streak (Hamill was a technical loss but still) so they havta stop building him with middle/lower tier fighters
Hamill was a step up imo and he tooled Hamill
Went to my first jits class. Don't think I was ever so happy with getting my ass handed to me
I think Franklin is the best option at this point.
It wouldn’t be fair to Couture to give him Jones… Bones would crush him
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Would he now? Let's not get too crazy here....Randy may be 40'ish but experience can make up for any standup power that Bones has.
If Bones tries to trade, Randy will make damn sure he won’t have the chance and take him down to the mat…..
Bones is good but he ain’t all that. Heck, Randy held his own against Brock….You think Bones can even last 1 round against Brock?
Wake up from your fantasy, okay?
Actually I just woke up.
And in my book Jones destroys Randy on the ground just like he does most of the people he fights with vicious elbows. No stand up needed. He is too long, strong and young to be out wrestled by the old man.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
agreed. Randy held his own against brock for just a round an a half. And a relatively green brock at that. I believe brock now would take out randy in the first round. Just like i believe Bones wouldn’t let the fight go past 2 rounds. Speed and Range would end Randys night

I think they should switch it up.
Machida/Bones
Forrest/Rampage II
I know Forrest and Rampage would both be much happier with that arrangement. And I don’t really see Machida or Bones objecting, though Greg Jackson might.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I would love to see both those fights.
Rampage-Forrest rematch is something I wanted for a while, and Machida-Bones just sounds amazing!
Greg Jackson should have no say…
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Rampage really wants a rematch
And I’m 100% sure Forrest would rather fight Rampage than either Machida or Bones.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Ha
I was there live for that fight. Crowd was going nuts wen silva KO’D griffiin. He said it jus like it happened.

NO WAY
I wish Forest would have a little confidence in himself and go out there and be a killer I mean he was a Champion. Even though he says it as a joke u cant help but believe he knows it. The UFC should not let this fight happen.
Put Bones against Someone that is going to go in there and Try to knock his Head Off. RAMPAGE JACKSON Where ARE U….. BAck in the DAY U WOULD OF LOVED A FIGHT LIKE THIS!!!
The man that doesnt fall, Doesnt Stand
Fuck u Fedor haters
This whole
“I suck, i suck, im gonna get my ass whooped, im ugly” routine is getting old. I guess, honesty is one way to go. Still his schtick is old
Shogun will have the longest championship reign in the UFC
plus jones is going to wreck him.

Lmao! Not just that but seeing him throwing a tantrum after crying & screaming =D
That was classic !
i miss the killer jardine...the wrecking machine jardine...that beat forrest and chuck and vera and took page to a decision
that dude was a beast for awhile…even when houston ko’d him he still dropped houston 1st before he lost…then became a fucking punchline…pun intended…
he was just never the same after that wandy rape choke…
he was the first guy to outstrike chuck to a decision…people may say “yea but chuck was coming off the tko loss to page” yea but jardine was coming off getting slaughtered by alexander…
but after that wandy fight he just went downhill…
i hope hes able to put together 3 or 4 impressive wins and get back in the ufc
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...

I agree.
I loved Jardine, but I can completely understand why the UFC released him. He’s a near lock to go rack up a half dozen impressive wins in lower-tier organizations, at which point he should be back as the Resurgent Dean of Mean.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
Can you imagine the tantrum Forrest would throw if they put him in front of Jones
It would be epic…Jones would tool him and then have to give him a kleenex and a bottle afterwards.

I think Anderson
Ruined his head. I think he’s lost ALL confience in himself as a result of that fight. He doesn’t seem like he wants to fight anymore…Almost like he scared.
We don't know that until his next fight.
I hope not because I really liked Forest style. He wasn’t polished but just aggressive and it was fun to watch. Forest come back please.
I think Anderson got Forrest's head right again.
Maybe now he’ll go back to fighting like a Junk Yard Dog instead of trying to avoid getting hit and thinking he’s one of the best. Forrest fights better when he KNOWS he’s got nothing to lose.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
yep...
but I do think it messes with his head to REALIZE that he really has no chance at a belt again. Plus AS offering to help him up was a big shot to the ego too.

Yeah, but Forrest was a better fighter back when he didn’t think he belonged in the same league with these guys…before he ever had any title aspirations.
You’re right, I think Forrest was really insulted by Silva offering him that hand up during their fight. I didn’t think of it as an intentional insult at the time, but maybe it was. That would be typical of Silva’s subtle style of disrespect.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I was screaming "ARMBAR" at my tv when Anderson was helping Forrest up... he didn't hear me i guess...

Sanchez actually does have skill and talent, and always believes he beat anyone.
Unfortunately for him, he believed his striking was a lot better than it was and BJ just showed him how wrong he was. Getting to the fifth round was very impressive even though he lost, not many would have made it out of that first round. Hathaway was too big and strong for him, when tried taking him down, it reminded me of when he tried taking Fitch down, you could see there was no way it was going to happen, those guys are just to big and powerful for him. If he had the physical attributes that Forrest has in his division, Diego would give problems too anyone, but hes just small to be a serious threat to anyone at the top, no matter how much his skill improves.
Agreed. Good stuff, Ade.

I see this as Forrest's way of saying...
We’ve seen this show before.
Forrest will take the fight if they offer it to him, obviously, but he doesn’t want to fight Bones. And, that’s why he keeps saying he would lose and all this stuff. In the back of his mind, he’s probably hoping all this talk keeps White and Silva from even making the fight. Who want’s to put together a fight when one of the guys doesn’t want to be in the Octagon with the other guy and has already given in to the fact that he’s gonna lose?
Forrest is doing his best to make sure this fight doesn’t happen.
That said, I’m still a fan of Forrest.
I dont think forrest has ever felt defeated before a fight
by theworldismine on Aug 20, 2010 1:48 AM EDT up reply actions
He made it pretty clear he didn't want the Anderson fight
He tried to be positive about it once it was final, but it was obvious before that fight that he felt like he was getting screwed by the UFC and sacrificed on the altar to make someone else look good.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
He kinda was screwed by the UFC.
He couldn’t win in that situation. If he won the fight it wouldn’t help him move up the ladder because he beat a middleweight. If he loses then he is screwed because he lost to a middleweight. That fight was lose/lose for Forest but it was win/win for Silva.

I completely disagree. In fact what you just said is exactly the opposite from what I believe.
If Forrest beat Silva, he would lose half his hype. Most casual people don’t care/know what weight class fights happen in.
If Forrest won, it would have catapulted him back up the ranks and Silva would have lost most of his mystique because only hardcore fans care about weight classes.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Forrest had absolutely no chance in that fight.
and Dana damn well knew it. Silva had been booed out of the cage in his previous two showings and Dana was desperate to make him look good. So he gave him the biggest name he could that posed no threat to him. Forrest has essentially the same exact skill set as Silva, but at half the speed and with no KO power….and he will always come forward…perfect for a counter-striker like Silva. Forrest was hand-picked as the perfect stooge to let Silva put on an exhibition of his greatness…and Forrest knew he was being set up. He seemed bitter about it even before the fight.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Your theory suits the Andy vs. Irvin match better (in order to make Andy look good). Considering how Griffin beat Rua and Rampage, I sincerely doubt that Griffin was offered up as a sacrificial lamb to Andy.

I used 2 like griffin but this shit is getting old!
When he had the strap he was like " I don’t even deserve 2 be the champ this & that!" gtfo with that talk! & don’t even say he lost 2 rampage cuz even page after the fight said forest whooped his ass!
Couldn't agree with you more.....
This act is wearing very thin at this point. Go write another book, do a sitcom for the people that actually think your humour is somewhat funny. The people who love Forrest seem to be people with low self esteem and confidence who really feel a connection with him. Piss off and let someone who takes fighting a tad bit more serious without the “I’m just a junk yard dog who really isn’t good at anything” attitude with you.

Wasn’t scared his first fight he had no idea who the hell silva was lol. And after the beat down he got he had a reason to be scared!
Let’s all be honest though, forest isn’t that awesome of a fighter. He’s li guida fun to watch get beat up. Second is rather see Franklin fight jones because he won’t puss out and will go after him. ULTIMATELY id love to see Vitor Belfort fight Jones if Sonnen gets an immediate rematch. Give Jone’s chin an actual test, because vitor WILL get his hands on him I guarantee it

jones just isnt a good matchup for forrest...forrest is good at several things but he isnt great at ANYTHING...
forrest is a good striker…hes good on the ground…but hes not GREAT at striking…hes not GREAT on the ground…and he doesnt have GREAT power
i think bones would do to him what hes done his last several fights…instead of trading with forrest, he would take forrest down and pound on him till the fighter is either stopped or till he wins a dec…
i would rather see bader vs bones….but bader is tied up…
in order for anyone to have a chance against jones they’re gonna have to be able to stop his tds and trips and force him to stand….jones is flashy on his feet and does crazy shit but he isnt exactly ending fights with one punch…hes ending his fights by getting his opponents down and crushing their faces…
he wanted NOTHING to do with standing with vera…as good and flashy as jones has been on his feet the last thing he wanted to do was get into a kickboxing match with vera…so he got it down as quick as possible….so its gonna take someone with a great td defense and who isnt gonna be caught off guard by all the spinning kicks and elbows that jones does who will be good against jones…and bader is a good choice…too bad hes busy..
machida would be a good fight for bones…..hed have a hard time taking down machida…but after seeing how easy shad took down page id have to think jones would do the same thing and get a dec over page by using the same gameplan
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...
i agree bones would wreck forrest but i believe forrest to be a little more competent on his back then vlad. Forrest actually has a pretty decent jiu jitsu game and i will go as far to say that jj may be his ‘strongest’ asset. I say ‘strongest’ because as we all know forrest aint great at anything really besides being a scrappy dog. I think jones would rather use his speed and demolish forrest on the feet then trip or take him down. Jone’s speed compared to forrest is like a lambo racing a k car

It's true
Forrest really is the Aries K car of mma.
" Its a good thing you look good in that suit, cos that's all you're gonna be doing - wearing a suit."
I hate that faux self-deprecating ‘slow, white boy’ nonsense. What is this? The 1970s?
If Forrest has some athletic inferiorirty complex, he should move aisde and let a real fighter take his shot. I don’t remember Chael whining about his insecurities when he was punching Anderson in the head.
You didn’t lose because you’re white, Forrest. You lost because you’re a pretty limited fighter.
Bones Jones!
Forrest will get Pooowed by Jones =D

Pooowed? So Jones is going to take a dump on Forrest, too?
Better bring some Toilet paper then….
lol.I thought id be the only one teary eyed on here from reading that but i guess me wrong.
Fedor "The Last Can Crusher" Emelianstinko finally falls at the hands of a washed up UFC Contender...the Irony:)
hahahaahha like the first person said. im still laughing from reading that. Forrest isnt one of my faves but thats a quote and a half. Kinda sad he would admit that but thats Forrest for ya. Jones would destroy Griffin. I dont think anyone minus maybe Machida, Shogun , a motivated Silva or any top tier heavyweight would even have a chance against Jones.
