- "I've fought a lot of big, strong men.... supermen, superheroes..... and I can't say enough about Jon's mentality in that octagon" - Daniel Cormier
I think this sums up for me what I like most about Jones apart from his fighting itself. It's his mind. At every single opportunity he's talking to Daniel, he's ALWAYS setting up his mental dominance. He gives no quarter. He is a walking, talking victory.
He is on his way to DEFINING how an unbeatable champion thinks. He has no desire to appease his haters anymore.
By the time he's done, I think he will have taken enough heads and stopped apologizing enough that we'll all be FORCED to respect him. He's not asking the world for respect anymore, he's decided to take it, like a man, one head at a time.
- "Honestly you guys sound like high school girls to me.... I'm fake? My job is to beat up monsters.... do you think I'm fake when I'm doing that? Do you think my hard work and my skillset are fake? Honestly, you guys sound like high school girls. Why do you care if I'm fake? This isn't a popularity contest. I'm the best at what I do." - Jon Jones
- "Jon, I admire your ability to change as soon as the cameras turn on" (mockingly, sarcastically) - Daniel
- "Thank you" (with a calm, focused, deadly serious "I am dedicated to beating you" look on his face) - Jon
My questions to you are threefold:
1 - Do you admire his "you haters only motivate me to shut you up" attitude as a championship quality or do you just stew in your own mess when he dismisses your bitter tears?
2 - Are you prepared to hate the future, the reality of MMA in our time? He's not going anywhere. He's the best alive. He'll beat all your hopes and won't give you the satisfaction of his caring what you think about it. This is how MMA GOATness moves and it's not going to do anything but make you cry more and more. Are you prepared for another 5 years of balling?
3 - Everyone has talked about his frame except Daniel and Jon's (and Dom Cruise) team, who speak of his FIGHTING MENTALITY. Are any of you noticing this is his biggest asset? Did you notice that his focused mind is the biggest difference between him and those trying to beat him?
