Ahead of his UFC 182 matchup against Daniel Cormier this Saturday, many fans, and fighters, believe Daniel Cormier is Jones toughest test to date.

Jones however, says he’s been in this situation before, and wrote about his experience in a recent Instagram post.

The last time I was here in 2011 I fought a heavy hitting, undefeated, division I All-American wrestler in Ryan Bader.. I remember the critics like it was yesterday; "Jon's never fought a heavy hitter like this", "Jon's never fought a wrestler of this caliber". Almost everyone doubted me at the time, everyone but me and my team. Glad to be back #MGM #AndStill
