Jon Jones used to shine like Leroy Green. The man known as “Bones” was all kinds of magnificent in the cage. We watched him decimate the best fighters in the world in a way few had ever done. He became arguably the greatest fighter in MMA history.
Outside the cage, we initially saw Jones as a clean-cut individual—or “Hannah Montana,” as Jones’ teammate John Dodson recently pointed out at a UFC 191 media luncheon. There wasn’t any reason not to shine the halo over Jones' head early in his UFC career. The guy was saying all the right things and kissing babies.
