Scenes From Jon Jones: In The Moment

Spike TV will premiere UFC Presents Jon Jones: In the Moment on Thursday, March 17 at 11 p.m. ET. Chronicling the life of rising UFC superstar Jon Jones, this half-hour special showcases the 23-year-old’s journey to a shot at light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua this Saturday at UFC 128.

“When I’m training for a training camp, I got to beat all the weaknesses inside of me. I got to beat the uncomfort in the Octagon that’s inside of me.”

“It’s like I’m climbing a ladder that you can never get to the top of. And that’s what wakes me up in the morning, trying to get as close to perfection as possible. In a sport like MMA there is no perfection.”

“I just want to be remembered as a person who set the pace, who set the tone for his own destiny. Despite where you’ve come from and what you’ve been through, the failures you’ve had, you can be great, starting tomorrow.”
