“My game plan was to get up in his face, smell his breath, be all up on him; I didn’t do nothing! I’m very disappointed in myself, trust me,” said Jackson. “I didn’t do nothing compared to what I was training for.”

“One thing about Jon Jones is that, he don’t really throw combos,” he said. “If he threw combos, he’d be real unstoppable. I was trying to capitalize on that, but for some reason, I didn’t.”

“He’s good at keeping range, keeping you from him. When I was getting close and trying to throw some haymakers, he was good at evading me. The kid’s good, I’d be surprised to see who could beat him,” said Rampage. “I don’t think nobody can beat him right now; he’s going to be the next Anderson Silva in that weight class, I’m telling you. Because he’s got great wrestling, his ground game is pretty good, and his stand up is pretty good.”
