Can anyone tell me what Jon Jones was ranked when he fought for the UFC title? No one knows. I believe, in that aspect, it was easier to get fights back then. It wasn't, 'What's this guy ranked?' You fought, made your money, and went home.

If you really look at the sport, when the No. 1 ranked fighter beats the No. 2 ranked fighter, the only thing that's up next for him is a title fight.
If the fights that I take make sense, and there is not a 27-year-old number one contender in the world, then I'll probably be interested in doing fights that make sense and fights that are marketable.
I just want fights like that. Fights that get me excited. Fights that are going to be exciting.
I don't watch a lot of featherweight fights yet some of those fights are the best fights ever.
These kinds of fights, these big fights that get everyone talking and interested, these are the fights I want.
