“The real challenge starts now.”
“(Jon Jones’) life is going to change in so many ways starting right now,” UFC President Dana White said. “It’s actually scary. When you get to this point, I worry about guys. There’s cling-ons all over, I’m sure, waiting to just f—— barnacle right on to him.
“He’s going to have to make a lot of choices over the next couple of years – personally, professionally. He’s in for a very wild, weird, crazy ride right now.”
“He seems like a guy who’s grounded enough and has the right people around him to handle it and go the right direction, but you never know. You never know what’s going to happen. I’m telling you, you wait and see the people that start clinging on to Jon Jones – the dirtiest, nastiest, scuzziest, scummiest, most disgusting human beings on the face of the Earth will start to cling on to this guy and become barnacles and get in his ear and try to pull him in different directions. This is where it gets ugly.
“It’s been since day one of this thing, when it wasn’t even what it is today. It’s part of any business when somebody becomes big and popular. I guarantee he’s out there right now, and there’s people glomming on to him as we speak.”
“After what I saw [against Rua], it looks like he’s a mile ahead of everybody,” White said. “But who knows. You never know in this sport.”
