Thigs like this show the true face of cerain people. I never really thought of Greg Jackson to be a very loyal perfect trainer type anyways. He sees Jones, realizes he will be the best, brings him over, milks rashad until rashad loses, replaces him with Jones and in the end he wants nobody to say anything since non of this is his fault. It is all his fault and he is the one who did this. It was the proper business decision ofcourse, getting jones and GSP etc.. but that also tells me that if jones hurt his knee, was out of action for a year, came back got destroyed iun his first fight and tanked like Brandaon Vera, and at the same time there was this guy who had some hype behind him and had the tools to be the next big thing, Jackson snacth him as soon as possible, tell Jones that he is still number one and the guy is here to help him train and they are never gona fight, show all of Jones game play to the new guy, build him to the title contender and have him smash Jones. I can totally see that happening.
Moral of the story, in this life it is rare to find people you can trust and if you ever slip even one bit, you will be replaced. After all of this, now those camp jumping guys don't seem too bad does it? They want to get the best training they can get their hands, they don't hide they will fight anybody for the title or try to be sneaky about it.
Does any one of you ever belived that Jones never wanted to be a champion? He never thought to himself, " man I can smash that guy like a bug" after watching some of Rashad's fights? It is every fighters goal to be a champion from day one and anyone that says no I just want to be number two is a liar. Maybe Except Nick Diaz Jake Shields situation, since Nick seems more concerned with his word and personality than his actual success.
