I'm not really too worried about the mystique of Jon Jones. Because I know Jon Jones' core. I remember when Jon Jones used to come up to me and say, 'Hey man, what's it like when everybody wants to take pictures with you?' So I know Jon Jones.
Jon Jones' skill set is unique. Jon Jones goes out there and does video game moves that the announcers can't even call because they've never seen them before.
We never want anything bad to happen, especially to an athlete like Jon Jones.
Jon has always been able to start off at a certain pace but then pick it up throughout the fight and then, at the end of the fight, his opponents are like, 'Damn, this guy is at another level.' I think that's what makes Jon Jones, Jon Jones.
I lost my fight to Jon Jones because Jon Jones is a better fighter.
If you have the mentality that Jon Jones has when he steps into the cage, no one will beat you on the mat.
I did what Jon 'Bones' Jones couldn't do, and that was finish Bader in a minute and fifty-six seconds.
I've got the title shot against a really good fighter in Dominick Reyes. He made a really good fight against Jon Jones.
Jon Jones is a dynamic fighter, he's very exciting, he's been going out there and beating people convincingly.
So what if I don't learn algebra?' 'Someday schools will be open again,' Mom said. 'Things will be normal. You need to do your work now for when that happens.' 'That's never going to happen,' Jon said. 'And even if schools do open up somewhere, they're not going to open up here. There aren't enough people left.' 'We don't know how many people are like us, holed up, making do until times get better.' 'I bet whoever they are, they aren't studying algebra,' Jon said.
You never really know what's going to happen. You never know what the audience is going to be like or how they're going to behave.
The emotion that I have going into the Octagon and from the crowd is unbelievable. It's priceless.
Pay-Per-View is run by drama. It is. It's true. I've done the research for myself. You look at Jon Jones. When Jon Jones fought Machida, probably did about $200,000, $300,000. When he fought Cormier, they made, like, $875,000.
You never know what's going to happen to you when you head out into the big world. And when you get older, you don't know how you're going to be thought of or seen.
Most argument, and in fact most conflict, has nothing to do with the present. It's always about the past or the future. People can't agree on the details of what has happened or is going to happen. But we rarely know what has happened, and we never know what is going to happen. What is really at dispute is how we will deal with not knowing.
Jon Jones, grow up, bud. We're going to fight regardless of how you feel. And when we do, and I'm cutting the line, and you might as well pull the guard because I'm taking you down.
