UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones for many, is the greatest fighter of all time. He has essentially never lost a fight other than his disqualification against Matt Hamill.
Given his superiority to all of his past foes, it’s hard to see him being scared or worried by any one particular opponent. Jones would confirm the same when asked by a fan.
However, he did reveal that he had nightmares leading up to his title defense against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson back in 2011:
“I wasn’t necessarily worried but I did have a few nightmares leading up to the rampage Jackson fight,” he said on Twitter.

Jones even revealed those nightmares were what led to his iconic crawls at the start of his fights:
In my nightmare I always started standing so to make sure that dream didn’t come true. I decided to crawl https://t.co/j1pftnezok

Of course, Jones ended up submitting Jackson in the fourth round of their title fight. And “Bones” is still going strong today as he remains the light heavyweight king, having most recently defended his title against Thiago Santos in a split decision victory.
The undefeated Dominick Reyes seems to be next in line for Jones — will there be any new nightmares or just another routine day at the office?
What do you think of Jones’ revelation?
