"When it comes to guys like Jon Jones and Anderson Silva, ducking and scared doesn't come to mind. Those are two words I wouldn't use when you talk about those guys. They're not afraid of anything. His belief must really be that it doesn't bring anything to the table at this point. Because you gotta remember, that this is the guy that said he didn't want to fight Lyoto [Machida] again because it didn't sell enough pay-per-views. He's looking at it differently now than I think he was whenever he was making his way up, when he first got the belt."

-Strikeforce heavyweight Daniel Cormier talks to MMAFightCorner.com and comments on what he sees as a different thought process in UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.

Penick's Analysis: Jones has definitely gone from the competition of the sport and taking on bigger fights and is in full-on business mode. He wants the fights that will make him the most money, he wants to have the most eyes on his in-cage action as possible, and that's going to drive his decision making when it comes to fights. Whether that's a good or bad thing is debatable, but it's certainly an accurate assessment.
