Jon performs beautifully under that structure, and when he doesn\u2019t have that structure, he is a disaster. He is an unmitigated, just straight-out f*** up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCarthy went on to talk about how it was obvious that Jones would be a success inside the cage in the early days of his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWho you are is what you do when people don\u2019t know. When they don\u2019t see. That\u2019s who you really are, and that\u2019s Jon\u2019s problem. Because what we\u2019re seeing, like on that video tape, that\u2019s who Jon really is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The entire speech is certainly worth listening to, and it begins within the first few minutes of the above podcast getting underway.<\/p>\n<p>Someone like John McCarthy has always been fairly universally respected amongst the MMA universe, and rightfully so. His opinion tends to carry a lot of weight, and it&#8217;s clear to see that many fans share his views.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Jones is able to come back from this remains to be seen, but the discussion surrounding the issue isn&#8217;t going to go away anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 3\/30\/2020.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran referee John McCarthy has given fans his thoughts on the recent arrest of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.
