The legendary American mixed martial artist, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones spoke about his sources of inspiration.
“I try to draw inspiration from athletes who are not related to MMA. In the world of mixed martial arts, I have become one of those who climbed Everest, so to speak. Therefore, I seek examples of inspiration in other aspects.
For example, I am inspired by people who show more humanity, behave more decently, or give more to society than I do. Or those who communicate better with their fans. For instance, Conor McGregor is just incredibly good at the microphone.
Therefore, I am inspired by other athletes. I ask myself the question: “How can I get closer to them in one area or another?” Therefore, I look at Tom Brady, LeBron James, Michael Phelps, and Michael Jordan as role models,” quotes Jones The Sports Rush.
Let us remind you that Jones last fought in November of last year, knocking out Stipe Miocic.
