Today at the UFC 145 press conference Jon Jones said he realizes he has both a “big fan base and a big hate base” and he is content with that. That makes him a whole lot like a hipster. Hipsters have a pretty big fan and hate base themselves and they don’t really care either way-they are going to keep being hipsters. And Jon Jones is going to keep being Jon Jones whether he has a strong hate base or not. This video shot back in 2009 during a sparring session and the filming of a documentary released last February called “Proving Grounds” -was just released today and it will really make you hipster hating people happy. This was shot before Jon amazed us all with those nasty elbows to Matt Hammil’s brow and in the video you can hear his coaches referring to him as a ‘rule changer’. So far it seems like their consensus has proved correct. He’s been an unorthodox style fighter and beaten people many never expected him to beat. Watch him in the beginning stages of creating the Bones Jones we know now, as he KO’s the rastafarian power right of his sparring partners dreads in one massive and perfectly placed punch. Enjoy!
