Jones: I am going to beat Shogun at UFC 128

“You know what, I thought Shogun was cool when I was younger because he was a 23-year old Pride champ, and I love Jose Aldo because he’s a 23-year old UFC champion.

“I’m definitely not afraid of it, I know it’s very possible. Right now, I just need to keep the people close to me that’s always been there and realize that there’s going to be a lot more distractions coming my way but I’m prepared for it mentally. And I promise myself that I won’t allow myself to fall by the wayside.

“I’m way too close to my dreams to slow down or start doing anything dumb and I won’t do anything dumb. I’m gonna win this fight.”
