Jon Jones Denied A Journalist His Question At The UFC 214 Press Conference Because He Just Doesn't Like Him

Yesterday, at the UFC 214 press conference, Luke Thomas stood up and asked Jon Jones the following question…

“Hey Jon, you’re thirty now, so I’m wondering…as you turned thirty [on the] nineteenth of July, what would you say about your twenties? Was it good? Was it bad? Was it somewhere in between? How would you look back on that decade of your life?”

It’s a very reasonable question for Jones, someone who’s had one of the more roller coaster-ish decades anyone could have – from being the youngest champion in UFC history to becoming a millionaire to failing at every aspect of life you could possibly fail at outside of the cage and spending time in jail. BUT, he decides not to answer because he says he doesn’t really like Luke Thomas. Weird, because pretty much every journalist in their right mind has criticized Jones’ horrible lifestyle and suspensions but Luke Thomas was the one to defend Jon more than anyone, including citing racism as the main reason people hate him…in this feud with Daniel Cormier, another black man. As a human, Jones is just, as my pal Uncle Chaps would say…

This sick boom roasted by DC was probably the highlight of the presser:

The staredown was pretty intense too, though:

I’ll have my full UFC 214 preview tomorrow as always, but let me just say this…I’m fuckin’ hyped for this card.
