Machida has footwork and speed, and Jones doesn’t do too well with surprises in the ring. Jones is up to the challenge though. Go Jones.

Jon Jones has no hope with the mythical Steven Segal mentoring the Dragon. I see some crazy mob s*** coming. Lyota Machida by throat slice by credit card.

Rashad has waited patiently for this fight. He’s next in line, not Machida. The UFC should postpone till Evans can fight. It’s only fair. But, to them, it’s bad business to keep Jones on the shelf cuz he’s a good draw. UFC allows champions to not fight for over a year if they are injured, but the #1 contenders get hurt and they get bumped.

Machida has KO power in his hands and legs, great BJJ, TDD and as well as the best strike and trip combo. Add to that that he is elusive, strong, and fast and I would say yes he is JJ biggest threat. IMO Machida has improved leaps and bounds in his standup. Look at how Couture couldn’t even touch him or grapple with him. He also been finishing his last few opponents except Rampage and everyone knows he won that one. The key here is that Machida’s style will keep JJ off balance so that his strikes leave him open. Also Machida needs to execute one of his strike/trip combos to put JJ in a weak position and then pull off a leg submission!!

Whats with these uneven match ups lately??? I guess Its better to see someone get owned in a fight than a strategic match up that goes the distance. Long Boring fights = no popularity. 19 second knockouts can make you famous world wide…
