UFC Quick Quote: Greg Jackson mispoke when he told Jon Jones to check on Lyoto Machida to 'get some fans'

If he layed him down softly and calmly walked away. That would have been for the ages!

Even in his explanation of what he meant to say, he still was trying to get Jones to act in a way that is clearly out of character for him for the sake of his appeal to the fans. That’s what a poser is.

Personally, I don’t care at all, Bones acted like a straight G when he just walked away from Machida’s lifeless body. So Badass.

and remember when rogan asked if he knew machida was out , he said ya a couple seconds before the ref stopped it

piece of trash human being. Heres one more example. How many more ya need?

like they truly didn’t care about the well being of their opponent, after the fight is over. For all the pre-fight hype, smack talk, you should always care once the battle is over. Jon thanks Christ after his fights, but doesn’t seem to bother with humble, charity and grace towards his opponents. Not even after the fight. His talent is the level of a champion, but his head is still young.

Bones demolished another guy in freakish style and people are mad about it and looking for something to say or complain about. They will the next time around as well. The haters of Bones are just angry because they’re going to have to watch this guy dominate people for another 10 or 12 years!! Ha ha!!

I actually work at ESPN and just shot Sportsnation while Jon was there. I actually went in not sure what to think about his attitude. He quickly erased all doubt. As you may know much like X-Play, Sportsnation has a small (about 10 people) studio audience and the crew who are allowed to yell and cheer during the show. I have never seen a celebrity, athlete, guest of any kind be as nice to the audience or crew as Jonny Bones. Like I said I will admit I had become skeptical as of late but now I can absolutely say that Jon Jones haters need to shutup. Sure he made a duck face with his car picture and people were hating. The guy is 24 and worked his ass off to make money and buy that care. He can be a clown and enjoy it if he wants. Off camera he was really chill and talked to everyone. He asked audience members where they were from and if they watched MMA at all. He asked who everyone was and spent time talking with all of us. Most athletes sit with their manager and or the crew that is supposed to take them around all day and don’t say a word to us. He was extremely personable and approachable. Colin asked him who he thought was the best in the world and he said silva because his timing and skill set is out of this world. He also said he would love the honor and challenge of fighting him. Also when he was asked what the weakest part of his game was he said boxing for sure but he works everyday to get better, he was quite humble. He shook the hand of every single crew member and said thank you (a lot of athletes just turn and leave because they can’t bother with us peon cameramen). He was constantly smiling and laughing on and off camera and never once had anything negative to say. He was a really chill guy and people need to stop hating on him. I had a first person experience and hung out with him for hours, which is obviously way more than 99.9% of the people on her can say. He definitely earned himself an even bigger fan today. Sportsnation already aired but will re-air tonight depending on your area, if you wanna see Jonny Bones. He ran through the “car wash” as we call it and of course also did Sportscenter and other shows while he was there. Funny how Jerry Jones and Jerome Bettis were also on campus today and I am the only person more excited to meet and MMA fighter haha.

ya thats not true aftermath their wil be haters if him being so good sure.. but their will also be haters with a reason to hate.. a good reason.. u think him dropping machida like that n then saying ya i knew he was unconscious ( while he kept choking him) is good for the sport?

Some people just don’t get it! It’s bones and jackson be fake as hell that I can’t stand. If your going to be a dick just be a dick and don’t pretend to be a good guy to get more fans

that proves juts how unbelievably stupid and short sighted people are. Does not one of you people know what public relations is? It’s not sad that people are mad that Jackson said that, it’s sad that they don’t realize every fighter’s trainer/agent/corner advises them in the same way. Do you honestly think that these guys are even writing/composing their own statements? That’s what PR consultants and agents are for, because they are fully aware of how you pander to the mindless herd of people that call themselves fans. But hey maybe I’m wrong, it’s not like all you people are looking for the most minute details to hate someone for. Because after Mir won by submission they said wow, that top control and technique was impressive. Oh wait, instead they said OMG did you see him not get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness for doing his job???? How dare he give an explanation that wasn’t catered to kindergarten teachers. Do you honestly think Dana White has any problem with what Miguel Torres said? Of course not you idiots. But people in the public eye are not allowed to have their own opinions, instead they have to say whatever the herd needs to hear. Do you think it was Forrest’s idea to go donate to a rape center? Do you think Brock Lesnar truly felt remorse for making a joke about a beer sponsor? Greg Jackson advised Jones to do that because if he hadn’t and Jones didn’t go overthere, the same people would be screaming that he was a sadistic, egotistical sociopath (quoted from a comment about Mir). And if it hadn’t been heard on tv, they would see him go over and show concern for Machida and go, Oh wow maybe we were wrong about him and he really is just a nice kid. The fact that this stuff needs explained is truly pathetic.
