Skip Bayless says Jon Jones is done as a competitive fighter
Jon Jones is DONE as a competitive fighter. Finished … this according to Skip Bayless, who says it absolutely breaks his heart.
The FS1 star says he’s gotten to know Jones through appearances on “Undisputed” — and tells TMZ Sports news of JJ’s positive steroids test crushed him.
“How can that guy be either so stupid, or so flawed, and ultimately so shockingly insecure, that you have to resort to steroids or whatever the PED was — or any kind of drug?”
“He’s just like a flawed human, but he’s got so much potential. He’s such a likable, nice guy.”
In his parting message to Jones, Skip offered some tough love.
“Jon: I have tried for years to love you, and you just wouldn’t let me love you. And in the end, I can’t have any sympathy for you because you could’ve been the greatest.”
Skip also looked back at JJ’s appearance on “Undisputed” before his fight at UFC 214 … and told us the way Jones acted seems pretty fishy now.

Oscar De La Hoya thinks McGregor won’t land a punch
Retired boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya told TMZ Sports that Conor McGregor will not even land a single punch on Floyd Mayweather. During the interview, De La Hoya was asked about his thoughts on the mega fight between Mayweather and McGregor.
“McGregor has no chance whatsoever,” De La Hoya said. “I mean, we all know, c’mon. McGregor is zero and zero in a boxing ring. That’s the bottom line.”
De La Hoya was also asked if McGregor wins, would there be interest in a match between Canelo Alvarez and McGregor. De La Hoya didn’t give McGregor much of a chance to win on Saturday.
“There’s a better chance that I come out of retirement and challenge Mike Tyson; it’s not gonna happen,” De La Hoya said. “I’m gonna go as far as saying that McGregor is not going to land one punch.”
