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

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.

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

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..

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.

240p from UFC? Nice

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!

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

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

he went hard for his kid! my idol jon jones

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

Incredible video. I wish it were longer.

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

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

He's head trainer is doing amazing job

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

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

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

he is the best fighter for me

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

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!

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

MISS JONES

love the production of the video

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! 🦋✈️💪🏾

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

A good and humble man. Much respect my man!

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.

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

Wow, Jons girlfriend was not pretty :O

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

inspirational thx Bones!

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!

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

love the production

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

best vlog I have ever seen

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.

lovin the fact his dog comes to training with him

Good to see that even fighters have emotion @ 12:10

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 !

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

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.

Phil nurse is best striking couch I've ever seen he understands Muay Thai and kickboxing so well and I saw he highlights the guy is a fucking monster

Good times

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!!!

This dude displays greatness....

i wish a had a coach like that!!!

Love u Jon u r my inspiration Jon My dream is able to meet u Jon I love u so much U r only Gaidojustu champion from Greg Jackson academy

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

Jon's Muay Thai coach is great

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.

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.

@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.

hes the best, no doubt!i just love watching him.great great champion in every possible way!god bless you

Jones is young.. talented, fighting his way up and show the world what he got. He has inspire me to workout harder and to train my Muay Thai skills. Damon Dekkers is also my motivation to continue. One day I will enter UFC and show the world that I can also become a great fighter. The best fighter. I'll give it all I got no matter who the opponent is. This is my dream and I'm gonna make it happen.

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

seems like a very respectful guy

I will admit his persona has changed alot, especially in that interview with rashad. If he loses though I will be a fan of his because I live seeing comebacks.

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

5:10 "absolutley desimating Quinton Rampage Jackson" haha

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

@MrOverSuper thats Greg Jackson, hes probably one of the best if not the best MMA strategists. He devises the game plan and the training approach. He develops the curriculum customized to the fighters and the opponents skill set. And he is world class at it. Obiously he also devises game plans for the actual fight. GSP, (formerly) Rashad Evans, JOnes, Velasquez. Many greats i tell you have followed his teachings.

This man inspired me , thank you jon

One of my biggest inspirations

This man is such a positive influence in MMA

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

Gotta love Greg Jackson. He seems like he'd be the coolest guy ever to have training you.

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

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

That barber was nice with the flow.

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

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

Anyone have the full episode to this? The one that was on TV a few years ago was longer, and shows the fight with Shogun, has him trying to get an official to piss in a cup for him backstage. It came on fox sports 2, or may have been Fuel TV back then.

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.

I watch this all the time brilliant jon

"this guy's too sexy to swing at..." lol lol

I can't understand how people dislike this guy

SRV blastin' through Bones Jones speakers, boyyy!

truly inspirational

After watching this I totally back Jones, I always knew he was respectful and humble. But when you see that hes just as normal as us, and the cliche of going out and getting what you want usually being said but never done. Jones shows us that it truly is what it is, it depends on how bad you want it. Jones I hope you remain champion for as long as you possibly can.

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.

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

Fucking hell i remember this like it was 2 minutes ago
