“I stopped studying fight records and started treating everything as a routine. The fear disappeared - I was no longer afraid of these guys. In addition, I was dissatisfied with my fees. At the same time, they gave me opponents like Reyes, who had dreamed of fighting me since college and was unknown to the general public.
I wanted something more, I wanted to be nervous again. I wanted to feel fear again. I think fear is good, and now I'm in a position to feel it again," Jones said in an interview with Unlocking the Cage.
Recall that on March 5 at the UFC 285 tournament, Jones can become the new heavyweight champion. To do this, he needs to defeat Cyril Gan in a duel for the vacant belt, which will be his first performance in three years.
