The only thing more dangerous than Jon Jones is a Jon Jones who is completely dialed in. Ahead of UFC 235, the light heavyweight champion appears to be completely dialed in.

You’ve only had to pay little attention to Jones’ Instagram account this week to get that sense.

Sure, just about everyone is giving Anthony Smith no chance against Jones on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Smith is as big as a 7-to-1 betting underdog, with Jones as much as a 9-to-1 favorite. Jones has said before that, despite the oddsmakers’ line, he’s not taking Smith lightly.

If you needed any more proof of that, take a look at this Instagram post from Monday:

Take a good long hard look at this picture ladies and gentlemen. I believe with my whole heart you are looking at the most well put together coaching staff ever assembled in MMA history. While the rest of the world is counting Anthony Smith out, we’re up at 11:30 at night studying footage and rehearsing our tactics. “You can’t count the home runs of yesterday.” Meaning we have to go out and prove we’re the best team every time we step out there. I keep hearing my opponent mention not fighting the person but fighting the persons body. Just an FYI.,We don’t count on our past achievements to carry us through our next fights. We definitely don’t depend on opponents being afraid of us. That’s just silliness. What we do count on is what we can control, which is our hard work and preparation. We do believe that there is no coincidence to past achievements. There is no luck over here. This team has been built off of prayers and hard work for almost 10 years now. We’re finishing this fight Saturday night. Not because I’m Jon Bones Jones but because we’ve earned it! Will you be a witness? #UFC235 March 2 #Champion2019#AndStill

Early Wednesday morning, Jones posted this from the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas:

I swear I enjoy the week of the fight as much as the fight itself. There were lots of good vibes in the workout room tonight. Getting to see my old friend @sugarashadevans and meeting @francisngannou tonight was everything. What great warriors.. 3 more days until victory. #AndStill

Late-night film study? Training at the UFC PI? Hanging out with old foe Rashad Evans? Jones seems to be in a good mental state heading into UFC 235, doesn’t he?

We’ll hear more from Jones later Wednesday at UFC 235 media day and see him Thursday at open workouts.
