"Welcome The Machida Era"

[Las Vegas,]

Stole the words right from my mouth. With big long targets like those legs i was expecting Shogun to put on a leg kick clinic. Maybe he was worried about Jones long straight right hand that would come as a counter, who knows?
Anything would of been better than what he showed up with.

I really do hope Jones is the real deal we havent seen stability in that division since Chuck.

In my opinion Jones will have problems with someone who used good cage work. Strong Greco, press the tall man up against the cage and put your head beneath his chin. I see this formula used all the time with the smaller guys at the gym.

Hated to see Shogun lose in that fashion but congrats to Jon Jones.

It's gonna be interesting to see how Rashad takes on the challenge, merely on the fact that Rashad knows how Jones fights. He knows his strengths and weaknesses. Greg Jackson also won't be in either man corner's. Which is a problem for young Jones, the kid has all the talent in the world but he needs guidance. He better get to AKA before Rashad gets there first.
