Joe Rogan - Jon Jones is CRAZY! That's Why He's Good.

Belator would use that to say, look, we're the same. He was a champion here, he's a champion there. So I think those four things are, and hey, I've never got to sit down face to face with Dana and say, why was there no offer? I've never got, you know, like when Anthony Pettis was the champ and I'm helping coach him or Tyron was, I haven't had more than five words of Dana in passing, right? And so it would be really interesting to me to sit down and say, what was, tell me for real because I have my assumptions on what the deal was, but I don't really know. And then if I have to add number five, number five is I think he got the idea that I would never be a yes man, which I'm not going to be, never would be where Dana really kind of likes the yes man champion. I mean, you see, he's got, he's got some heat with Tyron. He's got some heat with steep as we saw on Saturday night and he, Dana really struggles with the personalities that won't cater to what he wants to happen. Well, fighters very rarely are yes man. Then that's by nature of who they are. A little bit. Yeah. You know, especially the really good ones, especially as things start going well and start going their way. They realize they're the fucking man. I mean, this is, if you're the guy who's running the division, you're the guy who's running the division and you're not going to take any shit from anybody. Yeah. But that's, and you see as some of these guys ascend right up the ranks, they do, like John Jones started having trouble with Dana, right? But didn't have it until he was, he was having trouble with everybody. His problems I think had very little to do with Dana and more to do with his actions outside of the cage. I mean, inside the octagon he was, and the way he was promoted, he was promoted fantastic, but he's just crazy. Yeah. John's crazy. You know, John is crazy. John needs a babysitter. I mean, John's the baddest motherfucker at 205 ever. He just needs a babysitter. How anyone let him drive a car anymore when you got that much money is beyond me like pay your buddy 40 grand a year. Exactly. And have him drive you permanently. Like why he was driving his own car, that one's beyond me. Well, they didn't know until they bought him a Bentley and then he wrapped it around a tree. But that's when they should have known. But then there was the other one where he hit, the hit and run was after that one. Yep, the hit and run was after that one. And then there was the other one where he got pulled over speeding and he scored that. He told the cop to go fuck himself. Terrible decision. What do you do it? He's a fucking wild dude. That's why he's so good. It's one of the reasons why he's so good. Absolutely. But then you put you gotta put safeguards in place, right? Like, like you're making how many million a year? Multiple, at least for sure. You can't pay someone 40 grand to drive you around. Listen, you're preaching to the choir. I mean, I wish I could clone me and send me all to all these camps and be like, John, John, John, listen to me. Everything's gonna be fine. I got a driver. We got a Cadillac, an Escalade out here. Get in the car wherever you want to go. We're going places. We're gonna have some fun, but no driving. No driving. No, none. We don't need driving. We got music. Let's go. Oh my gosh. I mean, seriously. Yeah. Well, that's what you would have if you had like, you know, I don't know what he's doing. I know I'm not, I never been to Albuquerque. I don't know how he's living. But you can't babysit everybody. The UFC has 500 fighters on its roster. I mean, how many of those guys are prone to wild behavior? I would say 350. A lot of them. Yeah, yeah. Most of them, right? High risk males that fight in a sport where you have the potential to be hurt every single time you step in on the job. But when you're making millions of dollars, you got to put safeguards against yourself. Yeah, but I think also what makes John so good is his self confidence. And he probably is like, I got it. Yeah, I fucked up before, but I got it now.
