“There’s only one Jon Jones,” retired UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub said on The Schaub Show (transcribed by MMA Junkie). “So, if you go, ‘Jon, what did you do to get ready for (Alexander) Gustafsson in the first fight (at UFC 165)?’ He goes, ‘Party, showed up the week before, beat the sh*t out of him.’ I don’t know if that’s the best advice, man. I don’t know if that’s the smartest advice. You’ve got a lot of work to do. There’s only one Jon. The reason he’s the GOAT is because of what he did inside the Octagon. He’s not the GOAT as far as outside the Octagon.”
To Schaub’s point, a weekend of coke before a UFC main event is probably not the best gameplan.
“If you’re taking the GOAT talk, accomplishments inside the Octagon and outside, it’s (Demetrious Johnson). It’s ‘Mighty Mouse,’ or it’s (Georges St-Pierre),” Schaub said. “Those are guys that would be great mentors. ‘Mighty Mouse,’ even though smaller, would be a much better mentor to advise you on, as far as how to handle fame, women, family, sponsorships, life outside the UFC, expanding your footprint as far as expanding your business reach and stuff like that. I would reach out to that guy or GSP, another great one.”
