I was told it actually used to be part of their doctrine, that the darker your skin color, the more sin you had.

That would be a nice way to get a good tan.

@ 831 Father

Really? People sign contracts and then they fulfill their contract by fighting x number of fights for x number of dollars? Thanks for explaining that to me, that was way over my head.

On a serious note though, it’s just like any other sport. If you’re a RB and you get drafted in the 3rd round in the NFL and sign a miniscule contract, but then end up rushing for 1300 yards, then someone is going to renegotiate your contract. Same thing with Jones, if your 6-0 against unproven opponents they aren’t going to be throwing GSP money at you, but if you prove to be one of the most exciting guys in the company then you should probably get a bigger cut.

I’m not saying he should be getting GSP/Brock money, but he should be getting more money then the dudes he is slaughtering. Did you tune in to merely watch Vlad fight or get his ass whipped by Jones?

I was a Mormon for Halloween. True story. Had the white dress shirt with short sleeves, black tie, black slacks, bicycle helmet, the whole nine. Got drunk, danced the night away with a lovely naughty policegirl… Good times.

Fireball Kid FTW + James Irving being James Irving = Fightpicker Dominance

Another thing, most Mormons as you call them do not have tattoos. He is a Christian just like Mormons are Christians.

Btw pinkyslayer, that verse is in reference to the people here in the Americas. The natives, in why they are dark.

Jones’ father is a Pentecostal minister in Endicott, NY, and he, himself, is Pentecostal. Definitely not Mormon.

I wonder if Jones would snitch on Joe Rogan if he walked in on him hittin the bong backstage.

Everytime these posts, nerds come out of the woodwork with their “x fighter is underpaid”. Do you realize they’re under contract? They get paid the same amount for x number of fights. Did you expect Dana to give Jon a GSP/Brock contract right out of the gate?

i always think it is crazy to hear of a black mormon, considering that the mormon church originally taught that black people were cursed by God and that is why their skin is black, they conveniently changed this teaching and said they were wrong when it became politically incorrect. before that time there was no such thing as a black mormon. on a lighter note how about Jon “the mormon monster” Jones. ok that was just mediocre how about Jon “Magic Chones” Jones.

Jon Jones is so Mormon, he snitches on dudes who smoke weed.

Yeah. A lot about the Mormon religion is funny and incorrect.

@idestroy
Funny, but incorrect. Most whites would be black if that were the case.

I was told it actually used to be part of their doctrine, that the darker your skin color, the more sin you had.

Mormons believe when Jeebus comes back that he’llpurify everyone by washing away their sins. And by sin, I mean being any race other than white.

But dude above is right also.

wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them. And thus saith the Lord God; I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their iniquities.” (2 Nephi 5:21)

WAR YAHWEH!

@jdog
Well, in the slim chance you are interested, it was more of an authority issue. Blacks were always welcomed into the church, however, they were not allowed to hold the Priesthood. In the LDS faith, the Priesthood is the authority to act in the name of God and until the late 70′s as you said, Blacks were not allowed to officiate in any ordinances(religious ceremonials). The reason was again, as you stated, that Blacks were descendants from Cain and that the curse came for Cains rebellion against God. The curse was a “Mark” upon their skin and also were not allowed to officiate in Sacred rights given to men by God.

There are actually a large number of Blacks in the church, coincidentally, not in the U.S. Mainly Africa and Europe, certainly not in Utah.

Who’s Jones’ next opponent?
My money is on Franklin, because I think FoGriff wants nothing to do with him, plus he’s doing the book tour. Bader and Li’l Nog are tied up as well as Rampage and Machida. So who are they going to give him to?

I didn’t even think about Jones being black and being called out as Mormon. I could be very wrong, but I don’t think there are many black Mormons. I’ve seen it argued somewhere that Mormons teach that blacks are an inferior race. That’s heresay though, I am not that schooled in Mormonology so I’m not stating that as fact. But I did read that somewhere. Read about the Curse of Cain. Apparently, the LDS church banned blacks up until 1978. Good Christians, those Mormons (sarcasm).

Jones is definitely a Christian, but I highly doubt he’s a Mormon.

@Almost
+1 for Breakin Faces for the Prophet. I laughed so hard I had to punch myself in the balls.

Yeah I know. I was just making fun of the fact that she acts like she’s been involved with MMA forever because she stole a last name.

Jon “Breakin faces for the prophet” Jones

Jon “Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb” Jones

Jon “The Black Mormon” Jones

Jon “Mormaniac” Jones

Jon “Sammy Davis Jr” Jones

Jon “With a name like this of course I’m Mormon” Jones

@ Portland
I thought Kim was “Sugar Free”. I could be wrong because other than the fact she kept Captain America’s name, and that she sucks, I don’t know anything about her.

I think Vlad got off so easy because the ref (I think it was Big John but I was hammered) knew that it was going to go to Vera territory (broken orbital) if he let it go on any longer.

@videorome

I think Jon “caffeine free” Jones is the best, but I’m sure Kim Couture would say she’s been involved with that name for years.

@ Almost
The Polygamist Pounder. Hahahaha

@Viva
I think Vlad got off easy compared to Vera.

Jon ” Maulin Mormon Bones” Jones

Jon “The Mormon Marauder” Jones

Jon ” Caffeine Free” Jones

Jon ” 10% ” Jones

Jon “The Missionary” Jones

Jon” Big, scary, black Mormon assault squad” Jones

Jon “Polygamy” Jones

Jones should have been docked pay for now breaking someones face.

Damn $23,000 is it? You’re probably right Dana does spot him some cash in the locker room after the fight, but wow.

@ videorome_now

The Mormon thing is true though, when he first started out his name was Jon “Joseph Smith” Jones, then he changed it to Jon “The Stormin Mormon” Jones, and finally to Jon “The Brigham Young one” Jones. The reason he no longer rocks those names is because Dana has a huge conspiracy going on against the Mormons because they are actually the ones that chased him out of Boston, not the mob like he says.

@Portland
Ha. “The Brigham Young one”.

?

@james11
Last time I checked, Mormons believe in The Bible and God.

I still wonder how he’s so underpaid at this point, being such a huge draw for the UFC. Don’t get me wrong, there were good fights on Versus, but Jones was what people were tuning in for on that card.

Jon Jones is so Mormon…..

He also calls the cops on people who drink caffeine.

Jones is so underpaid it’s not even funny.

Someone needs to verify the Mormon claim. Do they make LDS-approved jock straps like the mandatory church-approved magic underwear they wear?

He’s mormon with a Bible verse tattooed on his shoulder/chest. who repeatedly thanks God after every fight?

In fact his bible verse is in fact ” I can do all things through God who strengthens me”

some mormon he is.

I’m not sure about Jones being Mormon. He’s christian, I’m sure, as a lot of Jackson’s team are. Has anybody else heard this or can verify shitbag’s claim?

You forgot to count all the crimestoppers tip rewards Jones picks up.

Poor Irvin, Anderson destroyed his career with one punch.

Jones is a mormon, he’s required to give a certain amount to his church. Keep paying him peanuts or the mormons will rise up an conquer us all!!!!!!!!!!

Fucking CHRIST is Jake Shields boring!!!!

Bones should be awarded a special bonus for not breaking a fucking sweat.
