Although Jon Jones is generally considered the greatest hunter of all time, he has constantly divided the fan base with his antics outside the cage.
Although he is currently ruling the UFC Heavyweight Division, Jon Jones causes anger under the fan base while he continues to postpone a potential title Unification Fight against Tom Aspinall.
The prospect of that potential battle apparently falls by the day, especially now that Jones has become co-owner of Dirty Boxing Championship and has attracted his attention elsewhere.
Although he is still generally considered the greatest hunter of all time, the fan base is divided into their opinion about 'bones', given his history of antics outside fighting.

Jon Jones changed the mindset of UFC Champion after conversation in the club
Despite the fact that Jones retained his position as the greatest of all time, Aljamain Sterling was shocked when he spent time with 'bones', which led him to change his way of thinking about fighting.
“I went to school with him in my first year, his second year, before he became a UFC hunter. We party a lot,” explained Sterling in a video on his YouTube channel.
“He drops out. I put over and see all these photos of him that does cool – … I thought,” I want to do this. ” I meet him and I think I have to live the life of a monk, I must be super disciplined.
“I think:” This is what Jon Jones does. This is why he kills these guys because he is used to here with the mental and the sacrifices and everything, the dedication. “
“And then I see him at the bar, maybe two or three fights in the UFC. He probably has a fight the week later and he will be broken, drinks, has a good time and he offers me a drink,” Stererling continued.
During the UFC career of Sterling, he has always been a perfect example of an excellent athlete, always staying in shape and consistently lead the life of an athlete.
“I am something like:” No, I have a fight in five weeks. Wait, you fight tomorrow, Bro … I am confused, what the hell is happening now? “
“And this changed my way of thinking. I gave up all the things that I enjoyed in life that made training more fun. But I had something like 'the sacrifice, the sacrifice'. But then I realized that it came to the mental, “Sterling revealed.
Sterling then won the UFC title after changing his mindset
After the conversation with Jones, 'Funkmaster' changed further with changing his way of thinking and they chose a different approach to fighting.
That of course led to the fact that he became the UFC Bantamweight champion in 2021, then defending the title three times.
Since then, Sterling has moved to the Vederweight division, where he is looking for a select group of hunters by winning a title in two separate weight classes.
