Jon Jones: How I Mentally Prepare For My UFC Fights

By Dan Schawbel, Contributor

I caught up with Jon “Bones” Jones, who is the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. When he won the title in March 2011, he became the youngest champion in UFC history. In 2011, he was named the “Fighter of the Year” by ESPN and in 2012, he was named “Fighter of the Year” by the World MMA Awards. Jones also serves as a coach on this season’s The Ultimate Fighter®, the longest running sports reality show on television. Jones returns to Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Saturday, April 27 to defend his title against controversial and unpredictable star, Chael Sonnen. This is a long awaited grudge match between two of the sport’s most recognizable names. You can follow him on Twitter @JonnyBones.
