On Wednesday, it was announced that UFC light heavyweight champion and greatest fighter of all time candidate Jon Jones failed a drug test. Again. This pissed off legions of fans, a contingent of whom have been taking it out on a game developer named Jon Jones, who -- just to be clear -- is not a disgraced UFC champion.
Earlier this year we profiled Jon Jones, a poor long-suffering game developer who shares a name with divisive UFC fighter Jon Jones.
Jon Jones the game developer was unfortunate to take the @jonjones twitter handle before Jon Jones the UFC fighter. The end result: a barrage of hate tweets every time Jon Jones does something crazy -- a frequent occurrence over the last two or three years.
But now Jon Jones the game developer is getting revenge. By creating Jon Jones the UFC fighter, in Fallout 4.
Jon Jones is a UFC fighter, perhaps the greatest UFC fighter of all time. But Jon Jones is also a game developer, working at Epic on the Unreal Engine.
This is the story of how thousands upon thousands of people mistook one humble game developer for the greatest fighter on planet earth.
