“I absolutely hate when people mention Rashad Evans.” — Jon Jones

There's never been a southpaw fighter to make it five rounds with me. These are championship fights, and most of them can't even make it out of the normal rounds. Fought Chael Sonnen, TKOed him in round one. Fought Vitor Belfort. He made it to round four when I ended up submitting him.

I will get out there and train harder than anyone, five times a day sometimes. You have to be a special person to do that - like, special forces, military maybe.

I was never popular. I always kind of wanted to be accepted with the rich kids, with the cool kids, and I never had that.

I'll see trash talk and people telling me why they're favorite fighter is going to beat me. It motivates me for sure.
