Props to Jon for being respectful through this embarrassment of an interview

ESPN plus partnership for ya
Molly "SCARY.. Cringe Asf
Bob Smith very true other than max for the boxing perspective
Yeah they lost me quick on this one
This is so painful to watch,
Why did they keep asking jones about fighters in other weight classes??
leander santos for real
I think we can all agree that Max and SAS are the true definition of mma casuals.
They're attempting to appeal to the casual fans, not hardcore fans. I agree, it's hard to watch lmao.
Pico is tryin to be a "Conor" supporter to hopefully gain fans back from all the times he's been popped positive in drug testing and everything else. So fake
You guys sound like losers lmao
This was terrible John Jones handled that so well. You can see him smiling and thinking these guys are idiots
Bro this was irritating to watch lol
Jon's an idiot too
Dustin Embry 👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
He even commented on it saying they were really fishing for some drama lol
I thought it was good questions what’s the problem?
Jon Jones clearly has a higher IQ than both interviewers
chainsawhanshaw
But a very low EQ
Especially SAS
I wouldn't say a higher IQ. They're all brilliant people. He can just see the baiting. He wasn't there to downtalk fellow martial artist, he just wanted to talk about the fight and leaving his mark in mma history. I'm sure he constantly has interviews like this.
@@thehammer9286 They aren't brilliant, they suck at being sports analyst, all they do is tell me and say who wanted it more , they only look at base stats and yell
Because he’s a sociopath
MMA exists
ESPN: Conor McGregor
BT Drunk Artist more than ESPN, every media
@King Delevingne not only MMA,probably bigger than any basketball star right now.
@@btdrunkartist8292 you sir are not drunk, you are high! connor is not bigger than lebron. i'd say hes bigger than anyone else in the nba thou
@King Delevingne who has he beat?
@@jaychris6636 Lebron posts about McGregor bruh. Lebron is bigger in USA fo sure but McGregor is bigger in Europe. Specially after fighting Nurmagomedov,everybody in the middle east knows who McGregor is. It's open for debate who is bigger between McGregor and Lebron globaly.
In Europe(UK) people don't care about basketball.
McGregor became huge on middle east after talking trash to Khabib on his relegion.
Max’s breakdown is like listening to a vegan trying to explain why we should eat meat and dairy...
House Hounds - We Buy Ruff Houses ahahhahahaa
Eyeball test
ESPN should be the worldwide leader in.. what?
It's nothing but awful. Cringe AF
@One She's married to Jaylen Rose...
Max's wife: "I'm off to bed"
Max: "ok but what do you think of Khabib right now?"
Max to his wife : you look ok... khabib pound for pound is just killing the eye test
I’m surprised they didn’t bring up the fact that Reyes is an athlete.
Jay Quan well he is 30 pounds heavier😂
ESPN acting like Jon can't wrestle . Jesus Christ people do some research . Jon is one of the best grapplers.
That's why he's just smiling 🤷🏽♂️
That man Jon thinking about how easy he can beat both of them 😂
@@tbesoto7512 🤣🤣 right!
Hones will be full wrestling this match
Better kno it 👊
This is just an embarrassing you have probably the greatest fighter of all time on and you spend more than half the Time telling him how you think other people are better and isnt he jealous of their fame. Ask about the fights. Hes defended the belt waaaaay more than khabib and for waaaaay longer against way bigger talent. ESPN needs to start hiring mma guys to do these interviews
This is so painful right?? Khabb is a legend but the goat above JJ?? the guy is on a 10 YEAR title defense streak....its insane to say Khabib is more legend then JJ......
ozz amen
I watch them talk about mma purely for comedy. What do you want to bet that these guys know next to nothing about jon, who is like, you know, maybe the GOAT of MMA?
@@tuomaskallio5766 they only know about Conor because hes got the complexion for the connection, says all the funny click bait things, puts himself out there so when he falls the same media that was propping him up can tear him right back down. I think Jones is probably happy he's not forced to deal with the amount of attention Conor demands, honestly.
Jones is much better fighter than Khabib, jones is great everywhere khabib only good in the ground against a cage.. And on top of that khabib literally has not fought any good ground game fighters just look at his wins he's only fought strikers
ESPN please hire people who watch the sport and care, this interview is with the championship of the light heavy weight division and they spend time asking him about fighters at 155? You have to be kidding me and that’s on top of all the interrupting and ignorance like please you guys look like clowns
R1 Kira they have people like Chael sonnen and Ariel Helwhani who know what they r talking about and should conduct these interviews
Cause his legacy's tainted they asked other questions
Elvis Rodriguez oh yeah that’s why 🙄
Gerard Donnelly I like Michael Bisping too he is great. These commentators are not up to snuff.
Why doesn't espn just have chael sonnen become a regular and have him do these interviews with mma fighters make so much more sense
True but Jon won't talk to Chael
@@mrman3414 why wouldnt he talk to cheal ?
Chael always destroys him on his channel😂 And Jon took notice, so Jon won't answer any questions from Chael
GREAT point 👌
4:35 anybody else notice Stephen A act like he knew who Matt Hughes was ......it's hilarious 😂😂😂
Antenello Benjamin 😂😂😂 spot on
Sass followed Matt Hughes on IG today
Yup lmaaaoooo
You really think SAS doesn’t know Matt Hughes? We know these guys aren’t experts at mma but casual mma fans know about the Matt Hughes/GSP arc. No doubt a man like Stephan A who covers sports for a living knows about Matt Hughes. I think this is a reach.
@@michaelvick4588 MMA folks have a hard time accepting new people(casuals) give it time.
How can you have one of the best fighters on your show and just ask him about conor and khabib
If Conor wasnt in the title half of the people here wouldnt even have clicked on the video
Big facts ☝️
@@Visualiize cause he draws a lot of casuals that's for sure
@@lautarorodriguez7778 well he draws everyone, he draws his fanbase new fans hardcore fans even haters like yourself everyone wants to watch him

These people shouldn’t talk about MMA. Like ever
Agreed!
@Adios Kid Max kellerman is one of the best boxing analysists we have haha
What did they say wrong.
Invisible Triangles max could
Dissing GSP for losing to Matt Huges, Not remembering all of Anderson Silva's loses,
SO Silly these boxing guys pretending they know mma.
True they were about equally as dominant. I give the edge to Silva because he was winning by ko/tko, with much more memorable fights. Also all of Silva's loses were early in his career, or past his prime. I say the Goat mountain should be Silva, Fedor, GSP, and Jon Jones, in no order. But hey, even Ali had loses in his prime.
These are some of the dumbest questions I’ve heard in a while. JJ did well to keep it together.
Yeah ,like asking him about khalabib
These were real questions fans wanna know.not cookie cutter easy ones
Alamander Beaster lol how dumb is max asking mma questions, he thinks lhanin has a good stand up game to go with wrestling lol
JJ doesn’t want it with Ngannou I’ll tell you that much
@@randyjohnson2373 facts he would knock him clean out and dana and jones know that

Yea I peeped that too

Mike, I wish I could give you 2 likes
There's an odd inverse relationship between ESPN's exposure to MMA and their grasp of it. They seem to understand even less now than when the UFC/ESPN deal was inked.
Ha Shem It seems that way because before they were holding their tongue, now they feel confident enough to speak their opinions. However, they still know less than the average casual fan. I’m sure that will change as time goes on and ESPN analysts actually start studying the art.
@@littlelizard3483 Interesting. I see your logic. Let's hope it proves true.
I think its cause mma is so freaking oversaturated right now
@MegaGolgo13 Yet every espn channel is football
This is the downside of ESPN’s involvement with UFC - having to listen to clowns like Max Kellerman and Stephen a Smith
Max understands combat sports. He was a boxing commentator for many years along side Teddy Atlas. Steven A Smith on the other hand.......
RektScrub I agree, Kellerman is knowledgeable particularly with regards to boxing. Stephen A Smith is a joke
@@robp2203 It's not a lack of combat knowledge in general, it's a lack of knowledge in MMA history and having no depth of MMA specific combat. Even comparing Khabib's current legacy and stand-up skill to that of Jon's is pretty humorous...maybe if Khabib has 5 more title defenses.
@@xSayPleasex khabib gets more respect from me then jones just because i feel like jones has had some fr assistance from roids and faulty decisions
Jon doesn’t care about the money or fame. He cares about LEGACY.
The legacy of doping.
legacy? his legacy is being caught with PEDS 3x. Reyes won the fight yet jon got the nod, yeah no corruption there
Ro _ jon isn’t that impressive now that he ain’t drugged
@@teabag4046 I agree about him being a drug cheat, but you gotta decisively beat the champ to be the champ. Unless it's a totally one sided beatdown, you can't really expect to win the title via decision, IMO. You could argue how corrupt judging is and i'd agree there too, but atm it is what it is.
It's not the exactly opposite, but not accurate.

Jon rarely use all of his skills the guy is completely rounded 👊 A lot stronger than people think 👊
Stephen A Smith knows nothing about fighting how does this man say Jon “bones” Jones is not box office I knew who Jon was before I knew who McGregor
Khabib is a bigger draw than Jones right now. Masvidal is also bigger draw than him just like Adesanya. And Conor is bigger draw then half of them combined. It is what it is. But Jones is p4p #1 and better fighter than all of them, no question about that.
@@ettorebugatti9354 all of them combined x 5 that woyld be closer.grannies in the nursing home know who mcgregor is.😂
@@oglaighnaheireann6814 Yeah i agree. Conor is just on another level when it comes to numbers.
@@ettorebugatti9354
Yes mate but I honestly think Conor as a draw he is declining little by little and mostly was a big draw within his fellow country men or the surroundings mostly and also WWE fans to no said casuals 😁 ...
People who really are fans that was before Conor now and will stay long after Conor is gone will know who Jone , Jose , GSP , Khabib , Tony etc.. ARE and what have they done in the sport not only that but we will appreciate much deeper... Unlike those Conor fans who most likely 90% of them will retire with Conor .. meaning when he goes they will also go from MMA . And that is a good thing if you think about it . We don't need casuals ... That is what is hurting the ranks and how they stack and who deserves the Championship shots and who doesn't... I get it is entertainment but we can't never let the sport aspect aside because that is in fact exactly what it is ... Conor's fans hurt all that .. now we getting the Colbys , Usman with 17 personalities trying to get some benefits out of them if people like one of them 😁😂🤣😅😆 which is not happening by the way...
not selling as much since he fucked up a while ago, also not fighting as reckless
WOOOOOOW. First Take has the greatest mixed martial artist on the planet. And they talk about Conor and Khabib(Nurmagomedov) I’m not even sure they know that Khabib is his first name at this point lol
McGregor and khabib are the greatest in top 5 khabib is top 3
@@khabibistheking7686 conor isnt top 5...
He's top for the most famous...
But nowhere in top 5 in fighting
@@khabibistheking7686 Conor lost to Nate, was getting thrown around by Mendes, got destroyed by Khabib. He doesn't have a gas tank, he was literally praying that Nate and Khabib finish him so he wouldn't have to go on. Khabib needs to beat tougher competition. He should be going for that second belt at welterweight especially considering how much he would struggle making lightweight. But Ferguson is a great step towards facing tougher competition.
@@kamran2035 most fighters don't cherry pick fighters to lose to. Just saying.
GSP avenged both of his losses, Defended his title 9 times, went on a 13 fight win streak, then after 4 years of retirement came back to beat Michael Bisping to become a 2 divisional champ😂. If anything he should be right behind Jon Jones when it comes to p4p
Stephen "I know only about Conor so I'm gonna drag him in every ufc conversation" Smith
These guys had no idea what they were talking about looooool
Max did. Jones is acting like its stupid to think Khabib is better pound for pound. I don't agree but its not stupid to think that. and Max knows more about fighting than me and u both he been doing this
@@levelhickbros u sound like a casual only for saying he know more then you wen he is not a top mma / ufc follower & Khabib a bigger star then Jones buh no doubt Jon Jones is p4p #1 right now
@@levelhickbros yessir
MrKingmike1231 no doubt??? Are u crazy? I think jones is the best in the world but to say no doubt is just dumb . Khabib is DOMINATING his fights like jones did on the rise whereas jones just won a split over a guy who tore both hamstrings😂 if there is any doubt about jones it is khabib
Khabib and jones only fighters I have never seen in a vulnerable moment
I wonder if either of them ever even watched Jon Jones actually fight.
Shane Joseph probably not but a couple glances at a sports bar tv.
They probably did. I’m sure they don’t understand the sport.
You better kno it 👊
Stephen A was in the crowd for DC vs Jones 2.
If they did you'd think Kellerman wouldn't be dumb enough to bring up the ground game... Like Jon Jones is some scrub on the ground.. What a failure of an interview.
“I like what you’re saying Jon... but you mentioned Connor”
Max in response to Jon answering one of their questions on Connor
Jon “it’s not about the money it’s about sending a message” Jones
Conor never made positive in doping.
Jon Jones never assaulted people purposely
VA Sports and entertainment except for a stripper homie, and DC when he was roided up, and when he was driving high and crashed into the pregnant lady...
Max had the audacity to talk about khabib’s ground game and stand and compare it to Jon Jones who literally is A++ at both ground and stand up lmao 😂
Tee D. You follow Gary V right?
@G P khabib too little LMFAO Jones would love to play with him u saw his smile lol
Right and Jones’ record dwarfs Khabibs
Khabib's ground game is THE ground game. Polished from mountains to modern mma gyms.
His strenght as a 80kg:er can grapple out with 100kg+, add to this that he's cutting to 70kg for fights.. truly overpowered. Even though untested (many blows to the head), it looks that his skull is like that of Nate Diaz' who can take many blows. His standup is literally average. Cardio maxed out.
As much as i hate him for beating the best example of patriotic pride- and confidence, you can't deny that he'd beat everyone from middleweight and lighter. Most of lightheavy too. He can eat punches and then grab you till the rounds end.
Others in ufc are humans who train their body and learn mixed martial arts, Khabib is a savage and way too overpowered for people who have taken even a few days to enjoy normal life (like all people do including mma champions)
@Tarik Hodzic I think Stereoids would make a great name for a band. Good thinking.
5:30 “ the eyeball test “ 😂
💀
Bruh lol. Jon had already gave his answer and reason. Max comes back with no i dont mean who you've beaten, i mean the eyeball yest.
Lol dude sounded dumb asf 😂😂😂
Jon showed his maturity here by not going off on these idiots props to him.
I Like Jon Jones reaction to Kellerman opinion on Kabib being the best " Right" lol
The smirks from Jon knowing that these two know absolutely nothing about MMA.
Ricardo Uyema this fools asking questions that are annoying.
How I wish it was face to face interview . Let see if max has that courage to ask those dumb questions
Anybody notice how Stephen A was relatively silent this whole video
He was on twitter lol
He should stop pretending to know MMA so good.
Nobody was ever questioning stephen As credibility until people heard that "cerone quit" which he didnt even really say. Stephen A aint all that bad.
@@tlbjr25 Bro, he doesn't have to say those words for you to know that he meant that. The man made it seem like Cowboy was some washed up fighter, but in reality, he's a top 5 fighter in his division. That's like saying Aldo folded against Conor or Askren folded against Masvidal.
@@tlbjr25 Man, he really is.
You can tell max is really doing is homework on MMA and is slowly becoming more knowledgeable. Fair play to him 🙌🏾
Jon’s face at 5:52 when Max is saying Khabib has a good stand up game 😂😂
This man is interviewing Jon Jones and he brings up Conor.
Cause connor is more popular
God well jones has massive respect for mcgregor so i dont think he care
Conor will never be mentioned when people are talking about the goat of mma
@One no he won't
Conor always had it easy he fought Dennis siver to get a his first title shot !
They just can't have an MMA segment on this show without mentioning Conor. I remember they pulled this on Bisping once and he said "Yeah, because I wanna discuss Conor when I'm the one fighting."
@@nicholassimmonsthomas8504 It's not even about salt. It's obvious why they do it. It just has to be annoying for fighters not named Conor.
Nicholas Simmons Thomas That comment was kind of dumb, no real disrespect to you. If you watch boxers get interviewed i.e Crawford, Spence, Porter, they’re not asked about Canelo Alvarez who’s the cash cow in boxing right now. So why should MMA fighters be asked questions about the MMA cash cow? Lol even way back when fighters weren’t constantly pestered with Mayweather questions unless your name was Manny Pacquiao.
Michael J Because the impact that Conor generates is higher than the ones you listed and everybody wants to see him involved in one way or another.
Nicholas Simmons Thomas Once again I said what you just said, which is that Conor is the cash cow. So is Canelo Alvarez yet boxers are not asked questions about him. So try again.
nicoduran98 How so? You know Alvarez was generating over a million PPV buys before DAZN came in and picked him up? Conor generates similar numbers to Alvarez
I automatically thought of eyepokes when he said the eyeball test lol freudian slip is what that was lol
You guys think Stephen knew about Hughes v gsp when he nodded his head when max mentioned it ?
I know everyone loves Max Kellerman, but he made that interview awkward.
Very lol
His job is to ask tough questions I don’t have a problem with it
Where we at in America where we criticize the press for asking tough questions. Everyone wants their guy to get a pass. No one asked Jon Jones to do tons of blow or run his car into a pregnant lady, those were his decisions.
@@amiririce69 not his questions, the way he asks and how he was talking about Khabib was awkward.
@@For_The_Watch what does that have to do with Max Kellerman being awkward. And what "tough questions" did he ask? I'm not even a Jon Jones fan, but I recognize a bad interview when I see one.

Christine Yamaguchi I’m convinced they don’t even know his first name is Khabib at this point 😂😂😂.
"Magamedoff"
I watch mma for Conor's fight only...really khabib is a legend but his fights are boring....conor is the big gold hahahha
Lets talk to JBJ about everything other than his next fight...😬
Ikr🤦♂️
They talked to him for 9:47 mins before this interview about his next fight
Totally agree with the previous comments. It would be wise for these Espn shows to use Chael and Ariel along with their regulars when talking about mma. Sas was looking down in the beginning trying not to think of joe rogans criticism.
