You could tell Jones was in some real pain with his arm

I want to say jones is lucky to have his arm still attached to his body but after hearing him say "I was waiting for it to break cause I was not going to tap", it tells me that he has more than just talent.

Jones knew he was in bih trouble with that armbar... You can see his eyes.... But man he show some heart... Brilliant

You can see the pain in his eyes

He beat the TRT vítor don’t ever forget that

I am a big Vitor fan, but Jones fought this fight like all of his fights AMAZING!

Jon Bones Jones is the Lebron James of UFC, everyone hates him because they know he's the best

People forget kicks are harder than punches,Alexander did not take much damage to the face but imagine how his body felt after all those kicks lol

Nicely spoken quote about adversity. Excellent

best mma fighter ever

It's funny to me how many people seem to know how beatable a guy is that successfully defended his championship 6 times. Then there's the ignorant assholes who say he needs to fight Cain to be legit. Its annoying as a fan of the sport how people need to look for reasons to hate someone like Jones instead of appreciating his greatness

1:55 "How do you feel, Jones?" "well you know except for the fact that vitor just broke my fucking arm, i'm pretty good."

What do you NOT like about this interview? He finished a former champ with a hyper-extended elbow. The dude is humble and honest.

This guy is legit! That armbar was deep, damn.

JBJ showed heart in this fight. He continued to fight on for 4 rounds with a damaged arm and still dominated.

his arm is so messed up in this interview. he's holding it like i did when i dislocated my elbow

Vitor was on steroids hard here fuck! Was massive and jones ate him for breakfast

Vitor had 3 weeks notice for this fight. He proved he is a warrior and if he had more prep time it may of been different. Well done Jon Jones.

2:00 Joe: How does it feel right now Jon? Jon: UH i gotta tell you Joe, I feel like my arm is on fire right now

God I was going crazy when victor locked that in! Wanted to see the old dog get one more title but alas it didnt happen. Close though!

His arm was fucked but good win

If he doesn't get that arm repaired, it will haunt him later as he said himself he heard it pop. Joints are never the same after hyper-extension.

I believe Jon Jones is the best fighter to EVER fight in the ufc!

a lot of respect to him, no matter how arrogant he is, refusing to tap out to an arm bar is more than impressive

VITOR Y U LET GO OF THAT ARMBAR!! :'( Finally, someone who posed a risk to jones and on short notice, vitor is a true legend!!

jones has nothing but respect from me no one can beat him in light heavyweight.

How can anyone not like this guy? So humble and polite.

Hate him or not u have to respect him. He has the heart of a Champion that is for sure. I don't know how many people would have finished the fight let alone their opponent after being in an armbar that deep. Much respect to Jon Jones.

Jones is an amazing fighter....

I hope Jon Jones just move up to HW, kick Dos Santos ass and then give him his belt back and come back and rule the LHW division where he belongs.

he will never loose that belt until he has to retire cael shonnan is not going to win hes guna get his ass whooped

He has the best speeches in M.M.A.

why joe put his hand on jones messed shoulder for the hole damn interview?

this guy is my hero , real shit

He's fighting Sonnen :D

I think the other reason they hate him is because he speaks like a sweet and intelligent man. Unlike a lot of these other guys. They have come to expect mumbling semi-idiots. This guy is super intelligent and articulate. Not to mention highly educated.

Goat

right now he is just doing something they have not seen. he just doing something people have not figured out yet - only time and wins will prove his greatness... your an amazing athlete bones... keep showing your skills and they will put you in the same line with anderson silva...

Okay give me about 10 years! lmao!

How can this guy be feeling accomplished after having an entire event cancelled, refusing to fight who they wanted to put in front of him, and defeating an opponent who took the fight on such short notice?? Jon Chickenbones Jones, what a great career choices you made.

That fight proved Jones is too big for LHW. He just casually stood up while Vitor hung onto that arm.

Well we've all learned for sure that if Jon Jones elbows just touch your face there will be blood. lol

gustaffson won that fight , jones limped away gustaffson never

funny how the most down to earth fighter is also the most hated one thanks to greg jackson

jones should fight in the heavyweight division he's too tall.. so that we can see how cain knocks he;s fucking ass out!

jones are tony are real tough guys

First of all i'm not black i just recognize great talent. How many great fighters come from Italy i forgot? You can't win a stereotype war over me Snooki so don't even try lol

This Jon was the best fighter ever , no one even close

It seems like john jones only fights in Canada every time I watch him hes in a Canadian arena

I'm getting tired of the ridiculous amount of dislikes just because it's Jon Jones. He got his arm popped and won't give up and still finished the fight like a real champion. But just because it's Jones people don't like the video.

Sir.. you nailed that right on the button.. you took the words out of my mouth..

Jon jones is a beast... Choked Rampage, Almost killed machida, Destroyed shogun, Dominated rashad evans and made vitor tap, how can people say he is not a champion !

This guy is the real deal!

the truth is that jons fought only an after prime time best fighters however the truth is also that jons is a great fighter and he deserve to have a prime time best fighters to compit !

Vitor went for that 'Fedor arm bar style'

And everyone says wing chun is completely useless. Where do you think those knee stomps came from? Also look at Silva, he adapted the chain punch into something efficient, he uses knee stomps also. Many others have took useful techniques from wing chun or took something with potential and cultivated it to work in a modern combat situation.

If your hand is towards your face is an Americana, if your hand is towards your ribs it's a Kimura. Watch the Mir vs Nogueira fight that's a good example of a Kimura example. Hope that helped.

Actually Machida was the first person to make Jon Jones worried. His Karate skill was working but then Jones took it to the ground where he threw his elbows and then submitted him.

Can't wait until Henderson returns.

AND STILL THE UFC LIGHT HEAVYWIEGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD JON BONES JONES!!! haters get used to hear these words, you are gonna hear it a long time!

I honestly dont know why everybody hates on jones, like i want to be 30 year's old and still see this guy a champ. It's a new era the younger the better. "not always that aspect but if you know what i mean then yeah.

this guy is just 25yrs old and is already beating up legends, how crazy is that!? he isn't even close to his prime yet!

Not at all. That guy you saw placing the belt apparently won some little "sweepstake".

he was in alot of pain during that interview, damn..

that arm bar was as close as anyone gotten to beating him

I was cheering for Vitor but bonesey is a great champ. He stayed in the fight after the sub attempt and he came out on top.

why do you think this is fedor's favorite submission?

You obviously forgot about Dos Santos, Velasquez, Cormier and Overeem.

I'm with you on that. I really don't get why people hate this kid jones. The kid is always respectful and does not come across as a A-hole at all. It seems people just like to make things up for no reason at all. I hope he dominates for years to come.

Jon Jones is just on another level, I'm just wondering if there is anyone else in the division that can make it to that level.

Jones is different level, What a Fighter. In Sonnen fight broke His Finger's on feet, then in Vitor arm, and In Santos fight He's feet also but He still beat them asses. I think this guy has something different No one can stop Jones, althought not sure when age is come because that is big factor, but I think He can keep His record undefeated until 40. I hope He achieved that before decide to retire

Man that armbar was almost finished. Props to Jones and Belfort.

Haha, Dana fidgeting around in the background as the contest winner tried to put the belt on.

Jones said himself that he need to improve his defense skills. He's got a good attack as you pointed out, but vitor made us see that his defense is breakable. That's what i mean.

Keep living in a dream!.....Jon Jones the future of MMA.

Wining is so expensive these days, it can cost an arm or a leg. I think Jones might be out for the rest of the year cause that was a pretty dam good arm bar by belfort. Credit must be given to Belfort for giving us an epic fight.

so was gonzaga, mir, gilbert yvel, nelson, but jds is just too good at the one thing he can do and he has proven time and time again... his hands are lethal

haha that wont be a weakness for long i garantee jones and his crew are making a new blue print as we speak.

tito ortiz holds the record for most title defences

of course, purely speculating... Jones hopefully goes to heavyweight one day, and when i think of Frank Mir and arm bars, i think snap!

Really don't like Jones outside of the octagon, but he is so fucking good when he is fighting. Awesome card this was, all of the fights were awesome.

Amazing I really thought vitor had him in the first, but jones was to much he came closer to beating him than rashad, but its clear that the only jones loses is if he gets bored or moves up in weight

You probably couldn't see him getting past any of his opponents, but guess what, he's crushing all your fighters and he will continue to rule, get use to it.

well thats if you punch the guy like 5 times, and youre supposed to get a warning first before disqualifying or taking a point away, and what does it matter when the fight is already over. vitor never punched a guy in the back of the head more than a couple time. plus like i said before when youre trying to finish someone you dont really pay attention to where youre punching, especially when the persons face is on the canvas it makes it hard to not punch the back of the head.

gotta hand it to Jones, he proved a lot in that fight. the man's unstoppable

his original opponent was dan henderson not sonnen

Vitor let him win. He released the arm bar early to avoid breaking Jones' arm.. True story. Respect to Vitor.

CONGRATULATIONS J.J. !!!

The divisions are sorted by weight not height.

jon jones deserves some mad respect. but props to vitor too cause hes the only one to truly put jones in danger

I was honestly waiting for it to break.

BEST MOVE OF THE FIGHT: Jones Side-Kick to Belfort's body that dropped him =) That was some Bruce Lee type shit right there.

and after that ground elbow to the head thing, then a left punch drops Machida, they get up Jones knees him up against the fence and then choke city for Lyoto.

He proved that he could have his arm popped, not tap out, and keep fighting to victory. What more could he have proved?

Thank you for the reasonable comment. I agree 100%.

it doesnt matter if he beat an old ass vitor belfort you cannot deny jon jones is the present and future

Yeah, Jon jones turns down fights, but a lot of champions do too. Anderson turns down fights all the time. I don't see what the big deal is. He obviously just didn't think he was prepared enough to fight Chael Sonnen. You should be giving Sonnen respect rather than bash Jones. Just my opinion.

The only reason every one is hating on Jon Jones is because he beat the shit out of everyones favourite fighters and now they are all but hurt about it

BEST MOVE OF THE FIGHT: Jones' Side-Kick to Belfort's body that dropped him. =D

Dana must be still mad cause it's the first time he didn't put the belt around the waist for the winner
