“He’s never faced someone as good as me. He's never faced anyone who's going to use wrestling the way I do, or who's going to put the pressure that I'm going to put on. I'm going to make him fight the way I plan for him to fight. He will be a completely different person in the octagon on January 3rd”, promised Cormier, in an interview with the “Combate” channel website.
Cormier already imagines his victory over Jones – he believes that this psychological exercise is essential to pave the way to victory. “I visualize my victory against Jones every night. Every night I think about the moment when I will have my hand raised, but this is not new, it is something I have done every time I prepare for a fight. I visualize the result, because I know that this is crucial for training. My fight is designed here at the gym. If I put in all my effort and train as hard as I can, I will win. If I leave things unfinished in training, then I run the risk of losing. Everyone here at AKA [American Kickboxing Academy] knows that's how it is. I visualize victory every day. I don't know how it's going to happen, but I see myself with my hand raised again and I'm going to do it in a way where people are going to think, 'Jon Jones never been this good or the Daniel Cormier Is this something we’ve never seen before?’” he concluded.
