"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..

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

Incredible video. I wish it were longer.

he went hard for his kid! my idol jon jones

240p from UFC? Nice

I think he needs.to rewatch this!

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

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

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

he is the best fighter for me

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 !

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

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

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

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

He's head trainer is doing amazing job

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.

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

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

MISS JONES

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Wow, Jons girlfriend was not pretty :O

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

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

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

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

I can't understand how people dislike this guy

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

A good and humble man. Much respect my man!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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's the reason. I started this.

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.

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

This man is such a positive influence in MMA

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

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.

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

Win or lose, Jon Jones will have a UFC title in his Career, his mma evolution is incredible over 3 years, and he's still young. Awesom fighter.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

This dude displays greatness....

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

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.

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

for rashad evans, having trained with jones is both an advantage and a disadvantage because both of them know each other well. and that may be the reason why rashad evans left greg jackson's camp for the training against jones, he doesn't want jones to know his gameplan, and vice versa.

Jon's Muay Thai coach is great

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.

Anderson Silva and Jon Jones have many things in common = Smart and Tactic Fighters, Amazing Strikers, and Champions.

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.

Jon Jones has the right attitude and spiritual awareness. .

love the production of the video

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

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!!!

What a man what a machine,jon jones deserves all the greatness that has come his way

For all the people who have opinions about this young man's life it's great that you live in a country that allows you to express them. As for Mr. Jones and his lifestyle, it is his to live, his God to answer to and what you believe is truly irrelevant. It is easy to stand behind your on-screen names and pass judgment, but I encourage him to press on. He is a blessed man and will be blessed as long as he continues his path. Sinatra said it best, "the best revenge is huge success."

lovin the fact his dog comes to training with him

I have a strong feeling that Jones trainer plays a vital part of Jones success and I hope he will be smart and stick with his trainer. Remember what happened when Tyson changed his team...

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

this dude is a prophet. If you listen to some of the things he says, it's almost as if he sees the future. Some may think I'm being cheesy, but really, everything he has been saying has come true.

A radical shake up is required in the UFC. When it comes to GSP, I want to see him in the MW division facing fighters like Weidman, Bisping, Lombard, Beltcher, Munoz, Soonen (if he returns). These types of fights generate interest. Apart from Condit, any other fight for GSP in the WW division has now become boring and the outcome can be pre-determined. This is why it is important for GSP to move up to MW and cement his legacy. GSP himself needs new challenges that can only come from moving up.

best vlog I have ever seen

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

Win or Lose you're going to continue to get better in the sport but you already a better man than many already

I'm not defending but just saying jon jones has his own opinion about his life everybody has his own opinion but it's true you don't need to look up to someone when your training but this guy motivates me so pretty much i thank him for that.

Can't hate on him....jbj is a humble beast

i am a big fan of shogun and i thought shogun would win let alone have a competitive chance, just goes to show how good jon jones really is, all the power to him

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.

He's a modern warrior of Christ. Pretty amazing discipline. Jones has great aura as a fighter and a man.

I REALLY RESPECT JON JONES AS A FIGHTER, AS A MAN FOR WHO HE IS. HE DOES HAVE A VERY POSITIVE ATTITUDE WHICH IS EVERYTHING IN HIS POSITION AS A MAN, FATHER AND COMPANION. I WOULD LOVE TO TRAIN WITH HIM BECAUSE I FEEL THAT I CARRY THE SAME IN MY HEART AS HIM. MY TOP 3 FIGHTERS IN MMA IS ANDERSON SILVA, GSP AND THE YOUNG BUT GREAT JON BONES JONES & I WISH YOU LUCK TONIGHT. ME MYSELF THAT IS SUCCESSFUL AND HATED FOR GOING FROM BROKE, ALMOST HOMELESS TO GREAT SUCCESS WITH HARD WORK MUST FIGHT ALSO

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.
