========== QUOTES ==========
Dana White: Rampage has been here for a long time. He's fought all the best in the world. I think one of the things that people always talked about in the past was his lack of motivation, but to say that this would be the biggest upset in UFC history is insane.
Quinton Jackson: I'm glad Jon Jones is underestimating me. He'll be very surprised on Saturday... I think this is the best camp of my career because I was very motivated. Muscle Farm had a great facility. It was state of the art. I haven't been this motivated in a long time.
Jon Jones: I'm positive that I've never stated that Rampage doesn't have the tools to beat me. Never did I say that in any interviews. He's a unified Champion and has knocked out some of the best in the world. I'm not underestimating Rampage at all. That would be a very, very ignorant thing for me to do, to underestimate somebody with such a great status.
Jon Jones: I think a big part of getting knocked out, it comes more and more with the older guys in the sport. Your ability to take punches goes away. I have a fresh chin. I have a fresh passion and a fresh heart and I think that's gonna get me out of a lot of things. I have a passion to not wanna get hit and because of how serious I take this sport, that's why my chin hasn't been tested. I put a lot of time in evading and movements. (Rampage interrupts: And running!)
Quinton Jackson: Jon Jones can think whatever he wants to think. He can talk all he wants. He hasn't fought anybody. Shogun is the toughest guy he fought and he was rusty. Let Jon do all his talking, I'll do my talking in the Octagon. We'll see how the old man goes down. He's never been in the championship rounds and I have.
It actually looked like Rampage and jones had respect for each other at the end of the video during the staredown.
