Hendo's not the only one.
I was tremendously disgusted by the way Jones treated his chokeout victory over Machida, dropping Machida's deadweight without any regard for Machida's wellbeing or physical condition. It took Jackson's coxing to get him to "check" on Machida and was unsportsmanlike in my eyes. I don't blame him for the Rashad drama as much as I think Jackson/Winkeljohn put their money on the better horse and mishandled that situation very poorly.
Jones is an incredible, however YOUNG superstar athlete with a shitload of money and everybody telling him he's the greatest. To me his current situation feels like the beginning of Rocky 3, losing touch a bit. Hopefully with maturity Jones will lose a bit of what I perceive as arrogance...but as of late I've been unimprezzed.
I love watching Jones fight and think he's one of the best 3 MMA fighters on the planet, but he needs a little more humility for me to be a fan.
