Title: Jon Jones takes out a mugger a few hours before the fight
Post by: George Whorewell on March 19, 2011, 06:55:18 PM

Jesus Christ. Who chases down a mugger in Newark right before the biggest fight of his life, takes him down and holds him there until the cops arrive?

Win or lose the guy is fucking inhuman.

Seriously, how can anyone not like this guy?

Jones is extremely spiritual/religious and can you imagine the power he must have felt when he's meditating and gets placed in this "hero" situation. The guy was literally invincible Saturday night.

Yeah, the guy is pretty cool.  I can't believe some ppl talk about arrogance, etc. 

It was interesting that he didn't give any props to Shogun at his speech after the fight.  I don't think he meant disrespect.  I just think he's a tad shy and didn't know what to say.  His youth/immaturity came out a little.

Benji Radach sneaked up behind a guy armed with a shotgun while he was holding up a diner and knocked him out with one punch......Dana makes it seem like this is the only time something like that has happened.  There is actually another couple stories similar with decent named fighters doing heroic things.  Benji takes the cake hands down though.

Well it certainly isn't happening on a daily basis.
