This might be a stupid question but can somebody tell me why high profile boxers who have been in worse press conference brawls dont get the same treatment or punishment? I can think of at least 5 pretty bad brawls involving boxers that werent met with any repercussions as a result....
Good question. High profile boxer cannot be bullied around because they bring so much cash and publicity. If they were to come down very hard, those high profile boxers would just fight in different arena, or perhaps in different country. That's just my opinion.
Jones understands what he done was wrong things get heated in the ufc it's completely normal can't stand all the hate on him he's a great champion and will continue to be a great champion I might get comment saying I'm up his arse but I'm not I just think he's a great fighter and a great champ
Its all DC fault ,Ronda Rousey shoved her forehead at a weigh in. Anderson silva also and he literally kissed Weidman on their first weigh in. Dc pushed Cummins on his ! What the hell you don't strike a person for doing that that is part of the game !!! and did he think that in so doing the actual Champ is going to take it without retaliation ?
TheVJProduction The DUI didn't cost him the Nike deal. But then again, maybe it did. Stupid decisions...lots of young Men make those. You're watching Jones gain a little wisdom ( I hope )
Smokey Rockwell Jones didn't fight twice this year that's why he lost the Nike deal, seems like you wasn't listen watch the interview again. some contractual obligations he have to fight no less than twice a year, he got hurt that's why he didn't fight again this year.
they did't punish the last fighter and that fighter did't do any of the community service given by the commission. The commission was hesitant to do the same with Mr. Jones. Thinking it would be nontraditional to suspend them rather than given them community service.
I love jones, he is the man. Ive known him since high school (we went to the same one) and he is a great guy... wouldnt do ANYTHING unless instigated, he was always a good guy
I went back to watch the face offs and I also saw it was Jones that instigated the brawl. Jon pushed his head forward against DC. In return, DC pushed Jon back.. this was Jones fault. DC was just defending himself. Jones is such a jerk.
Having been in Jon Jones place on several occasions the look of fake contrition is strong on Jones that over the top paying attention the looking as passive as possible and the speaking quietly are all things that a person who knows they are guilty do, contrast this with Daniel Cormier in the same place the differences are stark and reflected in the verdicts.
never mind the brawl what about the radio interview between jones and cormier where jones threatened to LITERALLY kill cormier a death threat is more serious than a push and shove
I literally think jon just got caught up in the moment. He's a decent guy and like he said he lost some deals bcos of this, I couldn't watch the whole thing, I watched 25 minutes of it. Did he get a suspension or just a monetary fine?
I don't understand why Jones gets slapped with a 50k fine and 40 hours of community service, while DC o ly gets a 9k fine and 20 hours. I understand if they did the fine by purse percentage but not the community service. Especially since DC started the whole thing by shoving him, I think they should have been more heavy handed with DC than Jones, considering he's never even argued with an opponent at weigh ins while DC has.
lol Jon Jones crashed into a tree and totaled his car, got a DUI, threatened to kill daniel on camera AND was in a public brawl ...basically a street fight...and has walked away from everything. If this were an average joe he'd have tons of jail time to serve.
jamminjackhammer I always laugh when I see the video of Jones waiting outside the club and finding out that GSP is there. It shows how quickly Jones can change. Floyd would probably just do a quick interview saying he is cool with GSP and then go back to his entourage and leave GSP waiting outside.
This "Commission" is a group of people who are NOT fighters and for people with the LACK OF experience should not even be on any board. That in itself should be the law!!! The Commissions are ridiculous .
At the beginning of the video you can see Mayweather leaving his hearing like he was the man in charge lmao. But Jones is like tearing up and shit?! Wtf
Comier tried to bully a 27 year old. That young guy is going to wear him out. One thing I do know, a 27 year old can fight longer than a guy in the mid to late 30's.
Everyone thought he woman on the panel was looking down at notes from the case ,actually she was flipping through magazines deciding what new car she was going to buy herself with jones percentage of the purse
Is this Jon Jones or DJANGO UNCHAINED ? What the FRACK ? He pushed a guy who karate chopped him in the throat. Why is he being so apologetic for being a man and having a pair of balls and utiilizing self-defense ?
If I was Jones I would of said, fuck y'all I'm not paying shit, fuck Nevada, and I'll just fight in Brazil because they sell more tickets there anyways.
For goodness sake, why did the press brawl need a hearing ?, Did he commit a crime ? damn it's combat sport. These suits should know things can get heated. The blonde woman on the panel is asking him what punishment he thinks is suitable. What does she want him to say life without parole ?
the blame should be all on Comier. He started the everything. Jons should not had been in the NAC hearing. Jon react because Comier put his hands on Jons neck. Anybody would have act.
The lawyer messed up he shouldn't of told them that jones was one of the highest paid athletes in the ufc that's when they started rubbing their hands together
"Bad for the Sport" I am absolutely amazed people can keep a straight face when uttering that phrase. The lies and rationalizing people go through, just to feel better. Find me one person that was less exciting to watch the fight after this incident. You won't. If you did, it would be a lie. This incident would have lead to more coverage, more hype, more revenue, ect. Yeah, so bad.
jon jones should of went all out with this acting job. "ohhhhh lord jesussss, i done messed up and hit mr cormier, plz oh white masterss forgive me for i have sinned unto thy.....can i get a amen" pat lundwall - "amen my brother"
+Jeff Jones He had to answer questions about an episode of All Access, cz he was filmed next to women who were stoning, and there was footage of people in the gym going 30 minute rounds with each other, so they called him out on it. the vids on MMA weekly somewhere
+Got Integrity? You're expecting a fighter put in the NAC panel to be biased even though he/she might not even know the defendant? There isn't some sort of Fighters code.
So, to sum up the entire video: Mr Jones, you have been a very naughty young man. Give us some money and do some boring ass charity shit for 40 hours. Jon Jones says: okay. The end.
He kicks all of that ass in the octagon then gets reduced to a little boy in that hearing just to get fined and lose an endorsement anyway. Sometimes you have to just say fuck it, do what you're going to do!
Yeah, that's a great idea. Lose ALL of your endorsements and sponsors, lose your ability to fight in Las Vegas permanently, lose your job and go to jail, and then on top of it pay outrageous fines too. Brilliant.
My point is he is in a position where he is a big time draw so with that being said and talent like his he would find work anywhere. That entire humble farce got him nowhere Captain sarcastic.
jgibman1 Correct me if i'm wrong, but the UFC did have a guy some time ago that was in a similar position who did say "**** it" instead of being humble. And is currently having a very difficult time finding work. I'm not a fan of Jones whatsoever, but truthfully being humble was the best thing he could've done.
Controversy sells, talent sells, and imagery speaks to consumers spending habits. When you're on top of your craft you should be in control of your destiny. If they like you they want to see you win. If they hate you they pay even more just to see you lose. Feigning humble still got him dropped by Nike. If he went badass the result would have been the same while catching more controversy.
How many times can you lie to the commission and yourself? You had to watch the video before you went in front of these people, I wonder if you listen to yourself?
Millions of fans or martial artist should create there own commission full of fighter and people in the business. It's like having Jon Jones judge or be a commissioner of horse racing. It's bull shit and we as fans and martial artists need to create our own commission that is about the fighter. There all paid off and very corrupt just like the good old boxing days. Something needs to give. It's ruining the sport, Chael and Silva to be crucified for something as failing a fucking test . When the NFL and other major sports don't have to deal with these bully's!!! They have power that shouldn't be! DANA NEEDS TO CREATE HIS OWN THING or us and them, cuz ultimately this is ruining my love for the sport when you have these jerk offs asking questions from a perspective of nothing they have no clue about fighting or what it means to these athletes.
Thank you for correcting me in my wrong ways. It is always good to get advice from a man of such wisdom that would type a comment like"Whatever this bitch is smoking I need to start selling ! She can't beat Mayweather or Dana White doesn't like Mayweather . Mayweather would kick Dana and Ronda Rousey ass ! " My profound thanks.
jj to continue to be smart as you have been, it was a game for him with the psychological yours if you get out there and lose your head it will achieve the goal dele.jjtem calm and jo your knife, it will try a thousand ways to tear you down ... but still believe in you
look i dont like jon jones pretty much at all ( can't condone his eye poke BS and his pompus attitude and his antics that got him barred from ufc) but retaliating the way he did towards assult... DC put his mitts on his neck first.. anything after that is defending yourself....
jj to continue to be smart as you have been, it was a game for him with the psychological yours if you get out there and lose your head it will conseuir order dele.jjtem calm and jo your knife, it will try a thousand ways to tear you down ... but still believe in you
This might be a stupid question but can somebody tell me why high profile boxers who have been in worse press conference brawls dont get the same treatment or punishment? I can think of at least 5 pretty bad brawls involving boxers that werent met with any repercussions as a result....
Politics mostly, many officials still view mma as a violent sport compared to boxing which is stupid.
I'd have to say because of the $$$$.
Good question. High profile boxer cannot be bullied around because they bring so much cash and publicity. If they were to come down very hard, those high profile boxers would just fight in different arena, or perhaps in different country. That's just my opinion.
Name those brawls you talked about, because I'm quite sure there would have been some disciplinary hearing regarding them.
You know that Mayweather's a boxer right? The guy in the blue shirt in the beginning?
Jones understands what he done was wrong things get heated in the ufc it's completely normal can't stand all the hate on him he's a great champion and will continue to be a great champion I might get comment saying I'm up his arse but I'm not I just think he's a great fighter and a great champ
Two hyped up fighters,full of testosterone,and they put a 5ft8 guy in the middle lol,they needed a joe rogan atleast to do some stopping
Haha I know right the guy went flying
puffin420
Joe is short too, but he's like Wolverine, the comic book version...
Its all DC fault ,Ronda Rousey shoved her forehead at a weigh in. Anderson silva also and he literally kissed Weidman on their first weigh in. Dc pushed Cummins on his ! What the hell you don't strike a person for doing that that is part of the game !!! and did he think that in so doing the actual Champ is going to take it without retaliation ?
Agreed. I don't get all the haters either.
which fighter dissed the commission in a previous hearing? that came up a few times
Nike ended sponsoring Jones ? why ? they have the motto " just do it ", and Jones fucking did it.. what do they want more ? eh...
Jones looks like he was going tear up a little.
TheVJProduction
The DUI didn't cost him the Nike deal.
But then again, maybe it did. Stupid decisions...lots of young Men make those. You're watching Jones gain a little wisdom ( I hope )
Yeah right, Jon been around these suburbanites to long...he forgot how to let his nuts hang.
Smokey Rockwell Jones didn't fight twice this year that's why he lost the Nike deal, seems like you wasn't listen watch the interview again.
some contractual obligations he have to fight no less than twice a year, he got hurt that's why he didn't fight again this year.
alphared10
Read my comment again, and then extrapolate...
Its all act, he is damn good at acting
I love the "poor little me" act Jones puts on. Nice try.
Did they really need a hearing for this? Just hand out the fines and that's it, such a waste of time.
not a waste of time , its punishment
Can anyone explain why they said they got burned the last time they did something nontraditional?
they did't punish the last fighter and that fighter did't do any of the community service given by the commission. The commission was hesitant to do the same with Mr. Jones. Thinking it would be nontraditional to suspend them rather than given them community service.
I love jones, he is the man. Ive known him since high school (we went to the same one) and he is a great guy... wouldnt do ANYTHING unless instigated, he was always a good guy
U chat ber bullshit
I think floyd giving jon a handshake was by far the coolest thing in this video.
@8:29"we came together like magnets" LOL.....
I love the mayweather jones handshake haha
What did Maywether do there?
"i don't know what to do with my hands"
THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT THE BRAWL MADE THE FIGHT MORE INTERESTING
I went back to watch the face offs and I also saw it was Jones that instigated the brawl. Jon pushed his head forward against DC. In return, DC pushed Jon back.. this was Jones fault. DC was just defending himself. Jones is such a jerk.
After seeing the interview they had, where they got to death threats, this has a whole new feel to it.
This fucking kangaroo court there senticing people depending on how they feel
It is okay to fight, as long as people are set to make money off of it. That is the UFC moral.
Let's be honest that brawl was good for mma. It's a combat sport things got heated there's no need for either fighters to receive such punishment
I wonder if people still think this is fake?
Having been in Jon Jones place on several occasions the look of fake contrition is strong on Jones that over the top paying attention the looking as passive as possible and the speaking quietly are all things that a person who knows they are guilty do, contrast this with Daniel Cormier in the same place the differences are stark and reflected in the verdicts.
never mind the brawl what about the radio interview between jones and cormier where jones threatened to LITERALLY kill cormier a death threat is more serious than a push and shove
I thought this hearing took place before that incident
I literally think jon just got caught up in the moment. He's a decent guy and like he said he lost some deals bcos of this, I couldn't watch the whole thing, I watched 25 minutes of it. Did he get a suspension or just a monetary fine?
So afraid he won't be able to make his Bentley payment that he's shaking...
1:17 Who the fuck turned on their Window's machine.
I don't understand why Jones gets slapped with a 50k fine and 40 hours of community service, while DC o ly gets a 9k fine and 20 hours. I understand if they did the fine by purse percentage but not the community service. Especially since DC started the whole thing by shoving him, I think they should have been more heavy handed with DC than Jones, considering he's never even argued with an opponent at weigh ins while DC has.
Both are great fighters. This kind of procedures should not be recorded
lol Jon Jones crashed into a tree and totaled his car, got a DUI, threatened to kill daniel on camera AND was in a public brawl ...basically a street fight...and has walked away from everything. If this were an average joe he'd have tons of jail time to serve.
Wonder why Mayweather is there at the beginning of the clip.
+periechontology I don't know but it was cool to see him dap it up with JJ. Real recognize real.
+jaywill4ever ......or fake recognise fake
jamminjackhammer
OH SHIT!
***** phony's seldom differ :-)
jamminjackhammer
I always laugh when I see the video of Jones waiting outside the club and finding out that GSP is there. It shows how quickly Jones can change. Floyd would probably just do a quick interview saying he is cool with GSP and then go back to his entourage and leave GSP waiting outside.
Floyd needs to hook Jones and other MMA fighters up.
This "Commission" is a group of people who are NOT fighters and for people with the LACK OF experience should not even be on any board. That in itself should be the law!!!
The Commissions are ridiculous .
Wow they dodged the question as to how much he would be paid for the fight?
sad that grown men have to explain themselves about a heated confrontation
a court where they just freestyle it on the spot
At the beginning of the video you can see Mayweather leaving his hearing like he was the man in charge lmao. But Jones is like tearing up and shit?! Wtf
+CAHK83 thats cuz floyd mayweather is the boss.
So nobody talk about all the intentional eye poke in EVERY Jones fight ...
Comier tried to bully a 27 year old. That young guy is going to wear him out. One thing I do know, a 27 year old can fight longer than a guy in the mid to late 30's.
Everyone thought he woman on the panel was looking down at notes from the case ,actually she was flipping through magazines deciding what new car she was going to buy herself with jones percentage of the purse
That's not fair, he did not start the fight
If even then both punishment should not only get more And Its bad enough
look at me, I only drink fiji water.... lmao
Is this Jon Jones or DJANGO UNCHAINED ? What the FRACK ? He pushed a guy who karate chopped him in the throat. Why is he being so apologetic for being a man and having a pair of balls and utiilizing self-defense ?
Jones is the most talented unlikable fighter to date.
If I was Jones I would of said, fuck y'all I'm not paying shit, fuck Nevada, and I'll just fight in Brazil because they sell more tickets there anyways.
Who gets this money?? Please someone answer me.? I hope it doesn't go to these corrupt bastards!! If so then we've got a major problem.
Jones looks like hes gonna tear up.. Lost Nike sponsorship and now 50K... that's a whole shit of money down the drain..
For goodness sake, why did the press brawl need a hearing ?, Did he commit a crime ? damn it's combat sport. These suits should know things can get heated. The blonde woman on the panel is asking him what punishment he thinks is suitable. What does she want him to say life without parole ?
like him or hate him hes the champ so until someone beats him theres nothing that can be said
the blame should be all on Comier. He started the everything. Jons should not had been in the NAC hearing. Jon react because Comier put his hands on Jons neck. Anybody would have act.
This seems like less of a trial, and more a test of whether Jon can pretend to be humble and contrite for 49 minutes.
The lawyer messed up he shouldn't of told them that jones was one of the highest paid athletes in the ufc that's when they started rubbing their hands together
The commission would pass up an opportunity to profit?????? NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!
He makes 500k a fight plus 50k with bonuses
More
Plus $2-3 per ppv buy
mayweather makes 30million lol.
That's it? damn that can't be right, i'm more of a boxing guy...but i like MMA aswell and they deserve more then that.
Their getting robbed man.
Sha'Quan Davis
Man a whole shitload of money, and advertisers paying them they are so robbed. Or is Floyd Maywhether over paid.
"Bad for the Sport" I am absolutely amazed people can keep a straight face when uttering that phrase. The lies and rationalizing people go through, just to feel better.

pat lundwall - "amen my brother"
For his community service, they should have made him pick up garbage on the highway, that would have been funny.
Why was mayweather there?
+Jeff Jones He had to answer questions about an episode of All Access, cz he was filmed next to women who were stoning, and there was footage of people in the gym going 30 minute rounds with each other, so they called him out on it. the vids on MMA weekly somewhere
JLF2012 x lol it's his gym
The giant Troll Exactly, thats why they investigated it, he claimed it was staged though along with the weed stuff
Jones Money May Weather in the same room
There should be a former fighter on the NAC panel. Not just pencil pushers.
stinkbandit Should we have ex-criminals presiding over court rooms too?
You're comparing ex-criminals to Pro Fighters? (Face Palm)
+Got Integrity? You're expecting a fighter put in the NAC panel to be biased even though he/she might not even know the defendant? There isn't some sort of Fighters code.
Two fighters got into a fight what's strange about that???? These people have nothing better to do but ruin the life's of professional fighters.
This is what happens when hypocrites have authority.... absolutely disgusting!
Jon jones might just go down as the best ever
Ive only swore one time in seven years, brilliant.
Classic case of good cop bad cop to get the fine going
That's not fair, jon did not start the fight DC Start the Fight its all DC fault DC pushed Cummins in jon on his s.
24:04 George Zimmerman lol
there is zero diversity on the commission. How do they get away with that? Rich and condescending.
So, to sum up the entire video: Mr Jones, you have been a very naughty young man. Give us some money and do some boring ass charity shit for 40 hours. Jon Jones says: okay. The end.
lol Jonathan Jones
He kicks all of that ass in the octagon then gets reduced to a little boy in that hearing just to get fined and lose an endorsement anyway. Sometimes you have to just say fuck it, do what you're going to do!
Yeah, that's a great idea. Lose ALL of your endorsements and sponsors, lose your ability to fight in Las Vegas permanently, lose your job and go to jail, and then on top of it pay outrageous fines too. Brilliant.

Just ask Charlie Sheen.
jon jones looks hung over......lol
Who doesn't wanna see Cain Velasquez destroy Jon Jones?
who was treated with no monitary fine
How many times can you lie to the commission and yourself? You had to watch the video before you went in front of these people, I wonder if you listen to yourself?

i swear tp god u can tell if there was not any cameras they would not do shet to him just by what they said lol
He is so sorry that he continued antagonizing and threatening DC......
this New age Gladiator bull shit lets go back to the old days and give these men some REAL WEAPONS and ARMOR
Jons your a good actor
Never disgraced the sport??? Hum.... How about drunk driving and a wreck.......very professional and a great role model.
Thank you for correcting me in my wrong ways. It is always good to get advice from a man of such wisdom that would type a comment like"Whatever this bitch is smoking I need to start selling !

Jones lost some BIG sponsors + he was scared that he might be banned from the UFC for some time.
Dude looks like hes on murder charges. Calm down.
This is a fucking joke...shit happens...what do they expect out of two people about to fight each other...professionalism is way overrated!
interesting.
