i am a huge fan of jon bones jones but i did not think to much of him on the jay leno tonight. i love this kids style when he steps in the cage, but i am really not thinking to highly of him outside of the cage. he was pretty somewhat struck on himself on leno. at least i kind of think so.

I dread reading any article that remotely has anything to do with Brock being in it. Not because of him, but because I know I’ll be forced to read the same old tired “COCK SWORD, DICK TATTOO and COCK CHESTNER” lines over and over again.
I wouldn’t watch Leno if the entire roster of the UFC was going to be on it. He’s a piece of garbage.
Conan for life.

@TheFanciness – Technically, it’s not ABC that owns ESPN, it’s Disney that owns both ABC and ESPN. This is one of the reasons why you don’t see much MMA on ESPN. Yes, they are slowly warming up to it, but with getting a 1am show that (maybe) airs once a week really doesn’t do much justice to the sport. Bottomline is Disney is more family friendly focused (which makes a lot of sense considering this is the same company that owned Miramax that released movies like “Kids”, but I digress), and in their eyes MMA does not equal good family values.

I see where you’re going with the NBC line of reasoning but… Viacom owns both Spike and MTV which airs UFC programming, Bully Beatdown, and Bellator. CBS owns Showtime, both of which air Strikeforce events (which is now a Zuffa product). ABC owns ESPN which actually covers the UFC from time to time (albeit not regularly). So the fact that both interviews are on NBC back to back may say something, but every network wants a piece of the lucrative 18-34 year old male demo. And the reason Jones is on Leno rather than Brock is probably because Jones news (winning the belt and apprehending ne’er do wells) is more time relevant and bigger than what Brock has going on. This is not necessarily about who is the bigger star or who the UFC is pushing more. But yes, I’m sure the UFC is chomping at the bit to cultivate Jones into another star on par with GSP & Brock. Interesting seeing UFC stars back to back on mainstream outlets nonetheless.

‘funk legends’ vanilla fudge? wtf? were they from the same era as ‘motown aces’ black sabbath?

we’re just going to hear Jones say stupid stuff like ‘Rashad isn’t in my being. He’s no part of who I am.’

@Smitty

Unlike the majority here, I don’t mind Lesnar. He’s had some brain farts, for sure, but nothing unforgivable. Win or lose, he entertains me. That’s all. And at least he’s real and speaks his mind. So far, all I see in Jones is a talented kid who’ll say anything that’s convenient at the moment. If he outgrows that and can still be humble when he loses I’ll give him credit for it. Right now, he’s both selling and buying too much of his own hype for my taste.

This article was fairly funny even if it was factually inaccurate. Brock knows the game well enough to conduct himself properly. Besides, Leno probably wanted Jones because of the cute story about he nd his life coaches catching the robber before his title fight. Leno has more pull so he gets the more interesting story. I highly doubt that leno and fallon both said “we want UFC fighters to interview” and dana decided who goes where.

Hey cp! Don’t know if you’ve seen this yet but I was on mmafighting.com and watched their tuf 14 try out video and say non other than Jeff “karma” Watts! So he made it there at least!

You saved your best (point) for last. I didn’t think about the possible motivations behind both their bookings.

Brock may be well spoken, but let’s remember, that doesn’t make him intelligent. I may be superficially judging him, but accumulative brain damage (CTE) from professional football, wrestling, and MMA (I know MMA may be safer than the former two, but any blow to the head isn’t good), as well as that cock-sword tattoo, may present a little evidence.

“…And that’s how I lost all that weight for TUF!”

I guess we can tell who’s the Brock Lesnar fan, and the Jon Jones hater here.

nice to see you remembered how to be funny, i’d assumed the humor had left with old dad

Carmine Appice is to Neil Peart as Shogun is to Jon Jones.

They should’ve booked Brock on George Lopez, I would’ve watched that.

“Insert Here”

I ain’t watching shit.

First of all, that’s being too rough on Brock. This guy has been in the spotlight for over a decade and while he’s had his slips, he’s not retarded or oaf-ish. He’s actually well spoken. There’s a big difference between what he’d say to a guy in a folding chair under a lamp in the corner of the gym and on a national television show. He knows the difference and to say he’s just as likely to say “faggot” on the Tonight show is reaching.

And honestly, putting Brock on the Tonight Show would be similar to having Howard Stern…. you’d get more people tuning in just to see what he says. And if he wore a sport coat, laughed and represented well, I think it’d be more effective than Boner Jones. Just my opinion. Jones won’t turn anyone on, he’ll just be a forgettable “Eh, good for him” story.

The hipper and more relevant show is Fallon so i wouldn’t put JJ ahead of Brock yet on the Dana White ~~Totem Pole of DOOM!!~~

It would have made cultural sense to have JJ on the show with the Roots as the House band and Brock grunting back at Leno’s monosyllabic questions. But hey…you get what you can get right?

(Dana White on ultra tool Jim Romes show Rome is Burning.)

Let’s just take this for what it is shall we? Two of UFC’s most viable young fighters giving MMA exposure on Late Night TV.

Shane

what the fuck is a leno or fallon???

Speaking of racists, “HEY DARKY, I BET YOUR DICK ISN’T BIG ENOUGH TO FILL THIS MOUTH!!”

The new name of late nite will be, Nitro!

“Meanwhile, Dana White huddles at home with his eyes pinched shut mumbling, “Don’t say faggot on national TV, don’t say faggot on national TV” over and over.”

fuckingrolfcopter

“So he broke Shogun’s soul and got booked on Leno…WHOOK EARS?!!”

can they get no one Conan? who even watches leno or fallon?
