"when you work hard enough, your dreams chase you" I want to believe that. I really wish I could. Maybe one day I will

I am as good at watching MMA as Jon Jones is at fighting MMA lol. I'm the goat of watching MMA.

This goes to show how far this sport has come from once it started. Amazing.

Jones is the best MMA fighter. Love watching him fight and finish his fights.

Damn man. I remember watching this episode more than a decade ago and becoming an instant Jon Jones fan. He seemed so genuine and humble. I remember waking up in the morning (live in Europe) and searching the internet to see the results. I was so happy he won. Fast forward ten years. Turns out the guy is a complete sociopath and narcissist. I still tune in every time he fights and I still believe in him as a fighter. Lost my faith in him as a person though..

What a good trainer, no sensei bullshit. He is basically like a good friend and just tries to explain it as good and simple as possible in a calm way.

I m starting to feel that Jones is just a good guy who’s punches in the head and pressure made crazy

Train hard enough and your dream will come true , Jon jones is the living proof of that! He ' convinced' me (ofcourse not personal) to continue my own career and atm I'm fighting @ RFC waiting my chance to get into UFC... Don't give up, give it all you got and you will come there!

His legs are skinny when compared to other parts of his body, but when compared to other legs out there, like Anderson Silvas legs, you'll realize that they really aren't as skinny as they seem.

I think Jon going back and watching this special would do him a world of good. Yes, he's now a major success. Yes, he's gotten all the sponsors to take notice and get a LOT of money. Yes, he's established himself as the greatest LHW ever, and in the conversation for GOAT. But he's lost his way as a person. He's on the verge of being Rocky Balboa in Rocky 3, where IF he tumbles from the mountain top, he'll be shattered as a person, because what he is now isn't the real him. He needs to get back to his roots as a human, and that begins with holding himself responsible for the message he originally had before winning the belt. I hope he can do it in light of this recent shit. He's beyond talented, and has the right charisma to make everyone take notice. He just needs to take himself a little less serious, and remember he's human like the rest of us.

I think he needs.to rewatch this!

Incredible video. I wish it were longer.

he went hard for his kid! my idol jon jones

240p from UFC? Nice

I'll be there, in that position..One day..

Jon Jones and Anderson Silva are my two favorite fighters. I'm so inspired by both of them.

Seeing him with his dog reminds me so much of I am Legend.

Jon jones its crazy how much inspiration you give me to not only train, but to excel in all aspects of my life.

he is the best fighter for me

THERE'S SILVA. THEN THERE'S JON. THEN THERE'S FEDOR. 3 BEST TO DO IT.

10 years later jon is still as domiant as ever....

Dam its crazy to see how far this guy has come and to see what he's become after all his success

He's head trainer is doing amazing job

I've been a Rua fan since the early 2000s but I also loved Jones' unorthodox style of fighting as soon as I saw him the cage... my two favorite fighters fighting, this is high emotions for me lol

whenever i see jon jones' arms.. i look at my legs..and i realize how tremendous this guy's reach is.. effin 84 inches..

Very motivating a lot of his advice can be applied to all walks of life

MISS JONES

i was really surprised how he DOMINATED the fight with shogun...

there's nothing wrong with having butterflies, as long as you can get those butterflies to fly in formation! 🦋✈️💪🏾

where he is from is 35 minutes away from me and here in western new york does not have a lot of athletes happy someone is finally noticed from here

He needs to move up a weight class that dont impress me.Cain is one if not the smallest heavyweight in his class so basically everyone he defeated was bigger than him, thats a real badass

Best character in the video? Diego in the gym with his beaten face, listening to music. Man he's a beast.

NICK DIAZ this is what you should do/should have done... make some $ without fighting and please the people who like you!

i wasnt expecting to watch every minute of this 20 minute video... ended up watching every second of it

Wow, Jons girlfriend was not pretty :O

That was awesome. UFC please post more stuff like this.

Yes John, God gives a flying fuck about MMA. In the 2014 people still believe that God go them an opportunity. Sad

A good and humble man. Much respect my man!

key words. 3 YEARS...... Title fight. That shit just doesn't happen. He beat up pretty much Dwarves compared to him. With only 3 years, if Gus was the champ at the time, Jones would never have been champion because he cant handle people his OWN size. We all seen it, and Deep down we all know it

certainly inspires me, i hope to have my first mma fight this year

I like how Greg Jackson said about giving him the colors and letting him do the painting as he recognizes what an artist Bones is with the 8-sided canvas.

It seems like so long ago when Jon Jones wasn't even in the UFC, but from the moment I saw him I knew there was potential for him to not only fight in the big leagues but to become a world champion. I'm honestly very nervous about this match but I know in my heart he has the skills to win, and now it's time to just make it happen. This is his moment, and I'll stand by Bones win or lose. Good luck, my man.

To JBJ, there are many of us that respect and embrace your skills and what you have acheived in the sport of MMA. You have made yourself the type of fighter that is now on another level and your respective division can no longer hold you. As a society we like to build people up and then break them down. Please stop looking for everyone's approval. A true fan of MMA will recognise and acknowledge you and what you have achieved. Keep your head up young brother and remember you do not stand alone !

I will be shocked if there will ever be a fighter like him again.

lovin the fact his dog comes to training with him

I take that back each to their own, and he is a humble dude. Have to acknowledge that much.

I thought fedor emelianenko was the only humble and down to earth good fighter in the world until I saw this video....this guy has a long way to go. talented, smart and humble

Shogun is my favorite fighter , and I was going for him , But to me Jon Jones will make a good Champion This guy puts his heart and soul to this sport and isn't cocky , I respect Jon "Bones" Jones

UFC should start posting complete UFC events on youtube... starting with 128 ;-D

This is cool, UFC should have their fighters do more of these. It's like the 24/7 show for boxing fights.

Jon's Muay Thai coach is great

Sign that barber to a contract that dude has some skill in hip hop.

It's amazing the progress this young fighter is showing every time he step in the cage, he's already champ and to think he only has three years doing this thing.

This man is such a positive influence in MMA

I can't understand how people dislike this guy

The best part about Jon Jones is his spiritual relationship with the Father & in that has enabled him to be an awesome father to his kids. That my friend is as close to success has it gets!

He has a family, has faith, lost a sister to cancer and donates to cancer charities. How could you hate on this guy?

The guy is not only a truly accomplished martial artist. he's a gentleman to boot. There's no anger whatosoever in his voice. he's in control of every single cell in his body and this certainly helps him

Maqn its crazy to see how he was living in a four story apartment before being the youngest fighter to win the title. Lol ufc 251 now and however many years later and he's the greatest to ever step inside the octagon.

theres quality in him as a fighter and person, he is going to be a legend

Jon Jones is my hero. 23 and already on the top of the MMA world. I'm 17 and hope to be in his shoes one day. He is such a calm, spirtiual, and intellectual being. He's just a specimen.

love the production of the video

He's the reason. I started this.

Not cocky, just confident and has the talent and skills to back up the confidence!!

i love that he trains with diego sanchez, his heart and determination has to have rubbed off on Jones

Jon the Champion Bones Jones!!!!!! this video was truly from the heart and I hope You Stay focus&grounded&hungry for more challenges the ART OF WAR!! G/Force!!!

No matter race , age , or culture this young man has class that is not often seen.

Look at the :50 - :54 mark, Greg Jackson isn't even cracking a smile after the announcement hahahaha

this kid is definitely the future, but rampage was the first dude to get me into mma.... i have to go with rampage. either way, im excited about the ufc and its progress.

Albuquerque :) Johnny Bones Jones your a beast..I like the fact you train with some talented people..Have great trainers..Greg Jackson and Phil Nurse..The Same Coaches for GSP has and look how great he is..gonna go far Bones

Jon Jones, is the person that shows any one with much dedication you can become what you want.

This is sweet they should do this more often

Man. I really enjoyed this & I think it's awesome Jon let us into his personal life. I didn't know he had a kid...pretty little girl. This guy is something special - I feel like we have another great role model representing MMA other than GSP. I'm 24 & I'm not use to kids my age acting so maturely. He has a long journey ahead of him but I see Jon going very far.

best vlog I have ever seen

Jones....already a legend none is as talented as this guy for his age!

Clean image back then

Yesterday he was just a normal guy, now his net worth just shot sky high!I think he can deal with all the pressure, & responsibility that is headed his way. He is resolute, stedfast, & of sound mind for 23.What a great fight story to witness unfold is Jon Jones. Yeah, I said that.-B.W.

This dude displays greatness....

i wish a had a coach like that!!!

its so crazy that such a peaceful man can be in such a pain inflicting sport

One of my biggest inspirations

jon johns is truly inspirational at such a young age,hes already a legend.the are probably a lot of haters who wish you could accomplish what jons done.and the are the bunch of big mouths to who just know how to critisise.when have you people ever taken a leap of faith,and been able to do that this guys just done,not even close.

@AndrewTA31 you have picked a great role model, Mr. Jones is a credit to the arts. i have been a Martial Arts instructor for 18 years and if i may offer some advice, in my experience talent is not a blessing compared to a strong work ethic. my most talented students usually quit when the going gets tough, but my humble and hard working students push through and reach their goal because they had to work so hard for them. if it comes easy then so does quitting. stay strong and focused.

Proud to say that I said to my friend "Jon Jones will be Champ soon. Guarantee it" after his fight with Vera. I see a lot of bandwagon Jones fans and any bandwagon sucks, so I am a proud fan of JBJ

I watch this all the time brilliant jon

That barber was nice with the flow.

This man inspired me , thank you jon

No reason to hate on Jones at all....what a fight. Unreal coordination and a very sound gameplan. Totally 'sonned' Rua.

No ones going to stop him. Still young and getting better and already the best in his weight class.

Anyone else watching this after Jones popped before UFC 200? The talk talk talk from him and his brother is hilarious in retrospect! Not saying he was using then but still funny to watch.

@FfxCore good luck my friend all the best only u can achieve ur goals hope to see ya in the ufc

he is a great fighter my favorite figher from ufc and i also learned some moves from him watching his fights !!

Good to see hes humble.

Jon Jones is an all round sound guy. Im glad he won the title, hope he can keep it too. Good luck Jon

The phil nurse is a legend. Thats the story here. he is like an old master out of a kung fu clip. Seriously who allows their fighter to make their own techniques and encourage them while providing great technique. Thats why hes a legendary trainer and martial artist.

i would love to see this guy fight all the other fighters in their prime ..

inspirational thx Bones!

love the production

im a huge jon jones fan,and i think machida is gonna be the biggest test for him so far... hope he trains well ...

I'm a big fan of this man. This video is simply awsome and it is really inspiring. The guy is all focus and hard work. And the fact that he seems like a nice guy in his everyday life makes him a wonderful role model for young people. By the way, I'm Brazilian. I'm a big fan of Shogun yet Jones victory was well-deserved. I was a little disappointed at Shogun for being too slow, but perhaps Jones' speed made him look that way.
