http://youtu.be/tk3-dVafxPM Jones has had his fair shares of emotional fights. Chael Sonnen and Rampage Jackson have both gotten under his skin. The emotion between him and Rashad Evans from their fallout at Greg Jackson€™s camp was astounding. This isn€™t his first rodeo in dealing with personal emotions going into a fight. He has one of the best coaches in the world in Greg Jackson; along with having one of the best fight IQ€™s in the sport. Nobody has pushed Jones to the edge like Cormier has though. What transpired at the press tour in Las Vegas last Monday had crossed extreme boundaries. An actual brawl ensued, which led to Jones throwing actual haymakers. You rarely see Jones throw wild hooks in the octagon, let alone in public. You can€™t fault anybody for reacting like that, considering he was shoved so powerfully. Still it has become apparent that Jones is starting to let emotions cave in. Will this transpire in the actual fight? Someone as skilled as Jones shouldn€™t allow himself to fight sloppy, but something about Cormier seems to bring rage out of Jones.
