UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones wants no part of Steven Seagal.
The bloated B-movie action star made a surprise phone call to "Bones" prior to his UFC 135 title fight opposite "Rampage" Jackson back on Sept. 24 in Denver, Colorado.
But what did he have to say? Jones details his "strange" conversation with Seagal in a recent appearance on the Jim Rome show:
"First off, you never know what people's motives are, especially with a guy who coaches Lyoto Machida. Machida is definitely someone I want to fight in my near future and I just didn't want to share my psychology with him or anything that would put me at a disadvantage in the future. It was just confusing, really, to bring in someone you don't work with at all to give you last second advice, it can actually be more detrimental than helpful. I don't know how he got my number. He was like 'Hey listen, I think you're gonna win the fight, and when I predict someone's gonna win I'm never wrong and there's some things I wanna go over with you.' It was all very strange. I don't wanna bad mouth him too bad, he had good intentions, I think. But yeah, I definitely wasn't having Steven Seagal in my corner. I could see if it was Jet Li or something, Jet Li would be pretty cool. I would definitely take that call, for sure."
Is Steven Seagal a spy for the Lyoto Machida camp? Or just a camera hog who wants to piggy back on the success of yet another UFC fighter?
Hear the complete audio, as Jones breaks it all down, after the jump.
How about it Maniacs, have we seen the last of Seagal after getting stuffed at UFC 135? Or will he be back in black (house)?

"s Steven Seagal a spy for the Lyoto Machida camp? Or just a camera hog who wants to piggy back on the success of yet another UFC fighter?"
Or perhaps he just is an old man that thinks he can actually help and has some words of wisdom to offer these guys. Maybe he can or can’t. I don’t see why its out of the realm of possibility though.
But that wasn’t even an option.

If I was going into an MMA match, I would rather listen to Winklejohn or a coach who has a lot of experience in a cage, maybe having even fought in there himself
Segal is a trained martial artist but what he typically does, isn’t going to work well in MMA
Jet li ...
"When swinging from nut-sack of the mighty "Quittin" Rampage Jackson, try to avoid getting his ball-sweat in your eyes….it tends to blind you from the obvious. Now, if I could just play a round of golf with my dream foursome of Chael Sonnen, Larry Merchant and Danago, I can die a happy man."

Donnie Yen
If I was twice as smart I still wouldn’t pick fights any better. They can’t measure my MMA knowledge because there isn’t a scale that goes that low. The best bet for me from here on out is to just realize that Nick Diaz no matter how good he looks against average fighters will be demolished rather easily by "The Prodigy" B.J. Penn

Jones did the right thing
There was nothing significant seagal could have offered him before that fight…

He could have helped him perfect the front kick

Seagal Thinks He's Some Magical Influencer
Everyone knew Bones was gonna win. Seagal just wanted to try get some credit after the win after the fact. People need to quit with this schmuck.
by G Squat on Sep 29, 2011 10:06 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Why doesnt Seagal go to Bellator events and help those guys out?
I’m side they could use a bit of advice much more than Jones. And if he’s going to win anyway, why give him advice.

He could teach Askren what a “strike” is.

Eh
That’s pushing it.

What Seagull needs to do is.....
get a hold of Jadine and bring him to a UFC belt. That’d impress me.
Living, breathing......MMA.
If Seagal really cared here would...
spend time with those who really need the help. Instead, he is stroking his GIANT EGO with the best fighters.
Trust me…In 6 months Seagal will find a way to piss off Dana White and be banned for life. If you think Seagal is done, you are wrong. He has delusions beyond what you are I could ever imagine.
Stupid Signature Goes Here
sooo true
I can see this being true. The guy should start from the beginning build up his own team or rep instead of leeching off the successful works of others.
Like someone said earlier….get someone like Jardine back in the game and he will get believers.
A snitch can always sniff out another phony
Mania Money Pool begins in mere hours. Have you signed up?
I'm a big Seagal fan, but
I gotta question what this guy could possibly teach an elite fighter nowadays. Anyone who’s seen one of his direct to DVD “films” lately will know the guy needs a stunt double to sit on the toilet. I just cant see him being able to show them anything beneficial.
Him, shit out perfectly good food?
That’ll be the day!

Isn't the economy in Brazil one of the fastest growing economies in the world? Don't they have many natural resources.
Saying Brazil is a “third world country” because they like Steven Segal is like saying Canada is a “third world country” because they like hockey and GSP when no one else does.

Everyones economy would be growing as fast as Brazil's
if we let half our populations live in absolute squalor in shanty towns.
That's a different point entirely.
Unequal distribution of wealth is a problem in many “developed” countries but I do agree, it is more unjust in Brazil.

he sounded great until
Jones sounded great until he rounded it off with “Jet Li…blah blah blah…cool” WTF?
Wouldn’t Jet Li coming in the corner at the last minute also disrespect his coaches/masters?
Didn’t he just say the other day that inviting a different master…bla blah blah…would be disrespectful to his coaches. Jones is still young and impulsive I guess…if only he talked the The Greatest (Mohammed Ali)
Yeah.
Jet Li should be helping out Aldo and Edgar. Seagal should be talking to Big Country about which Golden Coral has the best biscuits & gravy.
You mind your own damn business.

Segal is such a douhe.
And if you dont believe this, then……you dont need to believe it at all
"I played with fire and got burned, The Pride is a lock to win the money pool and I’m sorry I challenged him"
“Bloated” b-movie star. LOL. Why do writers here have to constantly say negative things about people’s appearance? Is it to make you feel better about yours? That’s shitty journalism. LOL, making fun of someones vessel. lmao. He’s bloated, and still done more than you ever did in your illusion, lolololol. Only the Unchecked Ego makes fun of the way others look. That’s LAME. And it’s easy, so easy…to make fun of someones weight. Lame. Bad writing. Thumbs down.
Most kids don't realize..
Age catches up with you.
I think what they are trying to say is Mr. Seagal hasn’t clearly demonstrated how his knowledge can be applied in MMA except by laying claim to teaching a rather common technique, known as a front or ball kick, or at least a twist on said technique.
But courtesy of youth or inexperience these folks are unable to articulate it.
God damn, I'm startin to like jones more and more
I should have shared the knowledge that Ben gases from my experience during our sweaty sex sessions. Not placing in the top 3 is karma return.
Ok, Now I reaaallllly hate Jones
I like bacon...
#1 Quinton Rampage the Dragon Slayer Jackson fan for LIFE..FTW!!! Nick Diaz would mop the floor with GSP and the fight with Sheilds confirms it!!!
The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his" I hate Jon Jones
