Jon Jones has revealed his decision to call out Brock Lesnar after UFC 214 was inspired by Conor McGregor's decision to face off against Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring.
Speaking on the Jim and Sam Show (h/t Jed Meshew of MMAFighting.com), Jones said, "I think I was inspired by Conor McGregor, to be honest with you. To just dare and to reach, reach higher. Me versus Brock Lesnar is somewhat equivalent to Mayweather and McGregor."
