\u201cThere\u2019s only one Jon Jones,\u201d retired UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub said on The Schaub Show<\/a> (transcribed by MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cSo, if you go, \u2018Jon, what did you do to get ready for (Alexander) Gustafsson in the first fight (at UFC 165)?\u2019 He goes, \u2018Party, showed up the week before, beat the sh*t out of him.\u2019 I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s the best advice, man. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s the smartest advice. You\u2019ve got a lot of work to do. There\u2019s only one Jon. The reason he\u2019s the GOAT is because of what he did inside the Octagon. He\u2019s not the GOAT as far as outside the Octagon.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Schaub\u2019s point, a weekend of coke<\/a> before a UFC main event is probably not the best gameplan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re taking the GOAT talk, accomplishments inside the Octagon and outside, it\u2019s (Demetrious Johnson). It\u2019s \u2018Mighty Mouse,\u2019 or it\u2019s (Georges St-Pierre),\u201d Schaub said. \u201cThose are guys that would be great mentors. \u2018Mighty Mouse,\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThere\u2019s only one Jon Jones,\u201d retired UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub said on The Schaub Show (transcribed by MMA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,82,702],"class_list":{"0":"post-394286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-ufc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
