“There's never been a southpaw fighter to make it five rounds with me. These are …” — Jon Jones

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.

The biggest challenge is learning how to psych yourself up into believing in yourself as you walk into the Octagon.
