For some reason these heavyweights don’t seem so big to me tonight

Avoid Stipe’s right hand, I’m too fast, I’ll be too strong when the time is right and have way too much energy. Soon and very soon I’ll be considered the baddest man on this planet

For those who don’t know, Jones is considered one of the best MMA fighters of all time and has never been beaten (his only loss was a disqualification loss, where he destroyed his opponent via illegal elbow shots).
