Marcus Jones Former NFL'er to UFC fighter

One of the participants in the upcoming Ultamite Fighter season is former NFL player Marcus Jones. I'm not much of a football fanso I couldn't tell you how god he was or if he has any major accomplishments but what I can tell you is he's 36 years old (Little late to start your career in MMA), he's huge and geting alot of media time.

Considering that the season has already been filmed, all the fighters are not aloud to talk about anything related to the show to the media but many have sensed by the way Kimbo Slice talks in his interviews is like he already lost. He dosn't use his first speech he gave when they announced Kimbo was going to be on the show. "The greatest revenge I can have against him (Dana White) is success" Kimbo said


That sounded like a confident man who was determined to prove Dana White wrong for all his shit talking. Now, all he says to the media is "I'm a fighter and I will always fight, no matter what set backs I have" He still sounds confident but just seems like the same speech you hear from fighters after they lose a fight.


Narcus Jones on the other hand has been geting alot of media attention suddenly out of the blue. He's a beast and has done really good so far in his amateur career going 4-1 with only 2 years training. Remember the name and the face, something tells me the marketing machine (UFC) has something in mind for this guy.
