I don't think Jon is a smart guy, if he were he wouldn't have fucked up so many times. He is very smart in the cage though...

When smart people get brain damage they generally become much more impulsive & tend to abuse drugs & alcohol. I have known many smart football players who fucked up more than Jones with similar issues
Jones never got knocked out and apart from one fight he got barely hit so I doubt that's the reason. Reason is that he got on top of the world at 22 years old and couldn't handle it...
You don’t need to get knocked out to have symptoms of brain damage, there are many football players with CTE that were never knocked out. & one tough fight could easily result in forever brain damage, happens all the time. Not to mention sparring sessions or fights/trauma from childhood. There is undeniable evidence of significant brain damage when it comes to Jon Jones & every other fighter/athlete/human who has taken shots to the head on film.
Too many people pass judgements on athletes without understanding the reality of the physics, anatomy & psychology involved. If we are going to use them for our entertainment, the least we can do is have empathy for their sacrifices & be realistic. Every shot to the head has consequences little or small.
