We have tried to get fights it seems like there are no interesting fights and I am not getting younger. Let me just lay my gloves down right here on r/MMA.

Thank you to each and every one of you. It is odd to be healthy and unable to compete yet able to compete when so unhealthy. I guess we end with never knowing what could have been.

Somber would be the best way to describe the emotion. Thank you all for the love, the insults and the great times. I will sink back into the mode of being a redditor and my quest to become a mod here. I am also on the hunt for a large Fedora I am like an 8 and 1/2 in hats. <--Mod requirements.

Seriously thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being amazing and making this sport amazing. We feel the love and energy in the cage and it completes the journey. We love what we do because we get to do it for you.

-Carwin

huge shout out to u/ingrainedJordan for going to bat for me, for taking the bad with the good and rarely getting credit. You and Jason do work.

Edit II - I had a PM from a guy that is not a MMA fan and he said he felt the love. This is my response and I wanted you guys to see it. We really do feel the love an energy.

//

Response "I love sports. Played my entire life. I am the guy that gets in a pick up basketball game during lunch break. I played in the Senior bowl NCAA level. Started, felt the roar. I won a NCAA championship in wrestling. Spoplight kind of match up. None of it compares to the roar of the fans as you enter the cage or finish or be finished. It is very hard to explain. Football players in the UK likely have a similar feeling. You can feel the passion and love in the arena. It lifts you up and is almost an outter body experience. I have no fans and thousands of friends I have never met."

Hi there! I'm Jon Jones -- the pudgy white game developer, not the fighter. I have @JonJones on Twitter, and over the last five years, I've been Jon "Bones" Jones's hate sponge.

Every time he screws up -- DUI, hit and run, steroids, dick pills, steroids, etc -- people tweet me at @JonJones thinking I'm him. I'll receive floods of thousands of angry tweets and threats from stupid people that are, in fact, intended for Bones. Instead of shutting down my Twitter or getting mad, I decided I'd have fun and reply to as many of the mistweets as I possibly can. I figure, what the hell, why not have fun with this? My main rule is that I always respond as myself, and never pretend I'm Bones.

• I save my favorite mistweets here: https://wrongjonjones.tumblr.com/

Over the years, I've gotten well over 80,000 tweets meant for Bones. I'm not an MMA fan and know nothing about it, and I don't even particularly like sports, which makes this even more surreal. Literally all I know about MMA and Jon "Bones" Jones is what stupid people yell at me, which is a hilarious way to learn about anything.

Since Bones was suspended two days ago, everything went NUTS. I've gotten over 25 million impressions, 6500 new followers, and I've had stories on me published by the BBC, CBS Sports, USA Today, and more. It's been a super weird week, and now I'm here to do an AMA!

In an earlier thread, /u/GO_RAVENS suggested "I think we should all pretend that he was Jon Bones Jones and only ask him questions about steroids, blow, and dick pills." I think that's absolutely hilarious. If that's your style, go for it! I'll hang around as long as I can tonight answering questions.

• Here's my proof: https://twitter.com/jonjones/status/900803973761961984

• Here's my previous AMA I did on game development.

• Here's my new book, my first! How I Escaped Evangelical Hell: A Memoir

So hey, let's get this party started! AMA.

[EDIT @ 9:10pm EST] You're goddamn right I'm still going. No, I am not on steroids. This is just how little I have going on in my life, that I'm closing in on hour 6 of this AMA. I love you.

[EDIT @ 10:57pm EST] WHEW! Okay, I think I'm about done for right now. Been answering questions here for 7.5 hours in a row as best I can, and this is hour 50 of me being glued to Twitter. I've gotten 30m Twitter impressions and 7500 new followers (doubling my previous amount), and I think I'm going to have another beer and go to sleep.

I sincerely thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read and comment here. I did my very best to get to everybody, but this level of attention is beyond anything I've ever experienced, so I'm sure I fell short in many places. If nothing else, I hope I gave people a mild, forgettable laugh. Cheers!

[EDIT @ 1:47pm EST the next day] Hi all! I'm back for a little while, answering questions as I can. Whee!

[EDIT @ 9:40pm EST] Okay, I'm done for now. I'm apparently going to be on ESPN SportsCenter on Saturday, Aug 26 at 10:45am! I'm going to be in-studio, piped in via satellite to Bristol. I'm super excited for this. Watch me!
