“Jon Jones is a bit complicated because I admire him a lot. When I fought the first time, Jon Jones was there. When I was the breakthrough fighter, Jon Jones was there. I was No. 2, he was No. 1. I admire him a lot. He was there when I fought Michael Chandler the second time. It's definitely going to be a fight that I will sit down and cheer for Brazil, for "Poatan." But I'll be apprehensive watching it because Jones is great. But I think that whoever stands in front of Poatan—regardless of being someone who only takes people down—if Alex lands a hand, he's getting knocked out”
