Jones: “I want to be the best champion of all time”

“I do believe I’m one of the better fighters that’s ever played the sport, just because of the records and being one of the youngest guys to ever do it. I would say I don’t believe I am the best; I do believe Anderson and Georges have done amazing things, and they’re still guys I look up to a lot.

But I want to be the best. I want to be the best champion of all time – not only an MMA fighter, but a champion. And there’s a lot of great champions that are far ahead of me, but as long as I keep my mind in that type of direction, I can’t help but land amongst those guys.”

During today’s UFC 182 pre-fight media workouts, the champ, Jon “Bones” Jones discussed his motivation to drive on, and continue his dominance in the cage.
