Ben Fowlkes of MMAFighting wrote an article today exposing Jon “Bones” Jones newfound obsession with his UFC 126 opponent, Ryan Bader. He says he has not only obtained the usual training visual aids like Bader’s previous fight footage, but he’s acquired interviews with Bader and a recent fan Q and A session that he’s been watching around the clock in order to calculate Bader’s mental state coming into their fight. Oddly enough, the Greg Jackson camp which Jones is apart of, just released this video of him via Twitter showing his current mental state, which seems to be on par with the mentally stable, Diego Sanchez.
In the video below, Jones performs the famous “Sanchez Cartwheel” and gives his version of the “Yes” chant which Sanchez says he adopted from Self-Help Guru, Tony Robbins.
Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader is just a few weeks away, taking place in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay on February 5th.
