Jon Jones is one of the most talented athletes that we have ever seen in the Octagon. However, Jones has shown that his biggest adversary has always been himself with some of his actions done throughout his career.<\/p>\n

The former UFC light heavyweight champion is currently going through the due process with USADA and the California State Athletic Commission after testing positive<\/a> for the steroid Turinabol following his second fight with Daniel Cormier<\/a> at UFC 214.<\/p>\n

UFC commentator<\/a> Joe Rogan brought up a possible issue with Jones and his behavior on his recent JRE MMA Show<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a symptom of something else going on. People don\u2019t like to discuss this but one of the things that it easily could be is that Jon has impulse control [issues] because he\u2019s been sparring and fighting at the highest level of the sport for many, many years now and he\u2019s gotten hit in the head a gang of times. There\u2019s no way around it,\u201d Rogan said (transcribed by Damon Martin for MMA Weekly<\/a>). <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an article I posted on Twitter that came up a couple of days ago, these neuroscientists were examining brain injury and violent behavior and like how they\u2019re connected. How damage to certain areas of the brain has irreparable consequences on the decision making ability of the person who gets hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Jon<\/a><\/p>\n

Rogan went on to give his opinion on how Jones is such a talented martial artist but has marred his career and legacy with all the troubles he has gotten himself into.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jon Jones\u2019 one is very unfortunate. Cause Jon is just one of the most talented guys of all time if not the most talented guy of all time and also the biggest disaster in terms of the biggest mistakes that he\u2019s made,\u201d Rogan added. \u201cWe\u2019ve never had a fighter that did a hit and run on a pregnant and broke her arm and then took off and then tests positive for drugs cause he\u2019s on dick pills and then tests positive again after his comeback, after a spectacular win over Daniel Cormier.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s disappointing in that regard. So exceptional in his physical abilities but the choices he makes and the decisions that come out of those choices are just f\u2013king terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
