Jaynes on his blistering start

“It was just the gameplan from the get-go. I knew he had a hard weight cut and I wanted to catch him off guard. I didn’t want him to get into a rhythm. I thought if I blitzed him I might be able to clip him. And, sure (expletive), (I) clipped him, and it all worked out.”

Jaynes on his UFC “hit list”

“I’m just going to stay ready. I’ll take another short-notice fight. I’ll take one with preparation. It doesn’t matter to me. I’ve got a couple of guys on my hit list right now, and I wanna talk to my manager and see what we can line up down the road, and take it day-by-day for that.”

“Drakkar Klose. Beat me 2007, high school wrestling state championship. Got a little salty about that, still. He ruined my dreams. And (Austin) Hubbard. He just beat a friend of mine, Max (Rohskopf). I’d like to redeem his loss.”

Janes on finally getting his opportunity, and grabbing it with both hands

For a long period of time – for the last year, two years – I’ve been kinda on the fence. Like, ‘Is this ever going to happen?’ I was on a five-fight win streak, then I took a loss and I thought about retiring. … I’ve thought about retiring half a dozen times. But through my family and my coaches, they’ve kept me honest, they’ve kept me on the grind (and) I got my opportunity and I made the most of it.

“I feel like I just was born today. I’m telling guys, it’s only been 48 hours since I got the call. I don’t even know what’s happening right now. I’m on auto-pilot talking to you guys right now.

“I’m going to make an impression every time I fight. If anyone’s going to overlook me and think I’m not going to throw 100 percent, they’re sadly mistaken. If I catch them with their hands down they’re going to get knocked out.”
