That's my belt, and I want it, and I want to hang on to it.
Shogun:

I'm not concerned about the time off. It's a similar amount of time between the Machida fights.
Shogun:

I've conquered all my dreams in MMA. It was hard to motivate myself after Pride GP, but now I fight every fight for my life.

Shogun seems like a pre recording but that maybe from the interpitor. Either way should be one heck of a fight

Lol I think this is pretty funny. He calls them smart, and then says the oddsmakers think he will lose lol.

I have no problem picking Shogun as an underdog against ANYONE. Especially against an untested fighter.

I think it does... Jones is saying the odds makers are letting the public run with the recent hype and give him the odds. People see the odds and are more confident Jones is going to win. More people bet on Jones and the bookies clean up when Shogun cleans up.

He is not saying they are smart because they dont think he is going to win. Jones is saying they are smart business men is what I took from it.
