Contender for the vacant UFC heavyweight title, Jon Jones, has explained why his recent performances in the light heavyweight division have been underwhelming and a real disappointment to his fans.
“I stopped looking at fight records and started treating everything like a chore,” Jones said in an interview with Unlocking the Cage. “The fear is gone – I stopped being afraid of these guys. In addition, I was dissatisfied with my salary. In doing so, I was opposed by guys like Reyes, who had dreamed of fighting me since college and was unknown to the general public.”
“So 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.”
Recall that on March 4 at UFC 285 in Las Vegas, Jon Jones will try to win the vacant UFC heavyweight title in a confrontation with former interim division champion Cyril Gan, who occupies the first line in the ranking.
