UFC 197: MMA great Bas Rutten suggests Jon Jones' confidence may be a complete front

Mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Bas Rutten is well known around these parts. As a matter of fact, the former King of Pancrase is one of the most respected and listened-to voices in the sport.

So when Rutten stated in a recent interview with The Fight Nerd that former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is putting on a front, it's a good idea to take notice. Through all of his personal turmoil and budding expectations to make a successful return against current 205-pound king Daniel Cormier at UFC 197 on April 23, Rutten suggests "Bones" may not be as confident as he leads on.
