Jon Jones' first ever professional MMA fight

[Davidjacksonjones]

Just curious, how many of you guys have seen Jones' first ever MMA fight, against Brad Bernard, about 15 years ago

Flawless performance

I remember watching that fight and thinking: This guy is gonna fight Cyril Gane one day.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

That Jon was absolutely wild.

That Jon was absolutely wild.

He is wild to this very day too

 

[C0NCH3TO]

He is wild to this very day too

Outside the cage, yes.

 

[jitzmonkey]

Love the announcer's suit.

 

[M.A.G.A.]

What a mismatch

Brad Bernard is what the average Sherdog forum tough guy looks like

 

[Bowser]

Tougher fight than Cereal Gane

 

[baba2008]

Jon before he was a criminal mastermind …

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Dude feeling safe with those double under hooks and just plowing forward and Jon says look you can fly courtesy of Greco airlines. I think most have seen this many times...

 

[Dacha]

Today Gane can suplex him just as easy as he did that guy.

Great fight though. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Sano]

A beast from day one. He was what, 20 years old here? Jon's rise through the LHW division to the belt is one of the greatest runs of all time, if not the greatest.

I remember watching that fight thinking, "This guy is going completely ruin his life one day after crashing into a pregnant lady, then flunk multiple drug tests and blame it on gas station dick pills!"

I'd definitely not seen that before, thanks for posting homey. Total domination. Love the last kick

"Jones may have to learn some cage ettiquette here" lol

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

So did that guy piss himself or are his shorts just shiny there

 

[STRAWBOSS]

Jones before Philippians tattoo

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

DC looks good in the red suit.

There will never be a get together in the Bernard family ever again where he doesn't tell the story of his fight with Jon Jones.
