The light heavyweight champion must be looking inwards a lot lately, as he has come to a realization that he may be a bad guy trying to be good.
?I think I am a bad guy that?s trying to be good,? Jones said during the UFC 239 media day (via Nolan King & Ken Hathaway of MMA Junkie). ?Religiously, we?re all sinners. We?re all sinners. We?re born into sin. It?s out nature to sin. It?s a decision to do the right thing when no one is looking. I think all of us, as humans, none of us are shit. It?s our choice to try to be more than. So, I would have to say I?m lean closer to being an imperfect human that?s trying to do the right things and be good.?
Jones has dealt with a lot of issues during his time in the UFC, including a pair of failed drug tests before UFC 200 and in-line with UFC 214.
UFC 239 takes place tonight from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada with Jon Jones and Thiago Santos headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
