UFC NEWS – Jon Jones Talks Lyoto Machida: "I understand what makes Lyoto, Lyoto"
http://youtu.be/eIrh5jKtgDU
“I always knew that I would fight Lyoto one day. Lyoto’s a great opponent, man, he’s game. I think he takes this sport seriously. I think he’s unpredictable, he’s fast. Lyoto loves distance and I love distance but I have the longer limbs and I believe I’m just as fast. So if Lyoto wants to play the distance game with me, I think that’s going to be awesome. … I will defeat Lyoto Machida. I believe that it’s my destiny to be UFC champion for many years.”

Can’t wait for this fight. I’m pulling for Machida
me2 this is the fight… i believe in “The Dragon”…
He’ll be slayed… sorry
Because you’re an Idiot.
Because he’s a fan, and you’re the idiot.
nice…
ive known you were going to fight lyoto, even before brandon vera! JBJ all day, dont worry the rest of you bjpenn members will hop on this band wagon after he disposes the LHW div, just like GSP and silva did
Because we’re all already on the Silva and GSP bandwagons…right?
and then you’ll hop back off, i only referred to GSP and silva as disposing of his division
In that case you provided no evidence for the claim that we’ll all jump on the JBJ bandwagon.
didn’t know you were a member
Never said I was, never said I wasn’t.
I just don’t like Bones. He is a fantastic fighter, but I a Machida fan myself. I’m saying Bones is garbage, just that I don’t care for him much. Same with GSP, I don’t like the guy, but he is solid, and I’m actually a Spider fan although I did boycott buying his fights for awhile because he was just playing games with Thales, and Maia.
Don’t be an idiot, people are free to support whichever fighters they choose. I’m a BJ Penn fan now, just like I was when he was ruling the LW division. I didn’t become a Shogun fan when he beat Machida, I still follow Machida.
I really like Jones but I’m prefer Machida in this fight, I think a loss would also keep Jones in check.
**** MAN CANT WAIT
The longest 10 days this month. DAMN
i believe its you’re destiny to get shut the hell up’d by Lyoto.
dont even no if thats a phrase haha.
This will definitely be Jonesies toughest matchup of his career…but he will pick Lyoto apart and choke him out!
I think somebody needs spelling lessons.”i think jone cant take a nice clean shit followed by a combo from machida”lmao.So tell me:Who can take a clean shit from Machida followed by a combo?Thats straight up nasty right there.lol
With a glass of urine on the side!
That is the best counter-trolling username that I’ve seen. My hat is off to you sir.
“Its my destiny to be the Ufc champion for many years”.That does’nt sound arrogant.lol.Does this guy think he’s Alberto Del Rio or something.lol
He’s just that confident,and it shows when he’s in the cage!
seriously, what other fighter has ever taken a loss/DQ as good as Jon did????
especially after watching bellator this weekend and the ref stopped the pellegrino fight due to TKO when the guy clearly TKOed him by multiple blows to the back of the head. lol after watchin that i still cant believe Jon got DQed
He deserved to get disqualified. Those kinds of elbows can make you blind. Besides all these fighters should know the rules before they get in the cage.
This isn’t bellator buddy this is the big boys and jones deserves that Dq. Hes a dirty fighter IMO. Watch his first fight in the UFC Andre had him up against the cage in a bad position where he was not having his way and he kneed Andre in the balls. Then knee him in the balls again Andre threw his hands up to signal the reff and jones laid into him almost knocking him about. He knewhe kneed him in the balls.
Its called confidence, whats he supposed to say: “even if i do beat machida, i dont see myself holding on to this belt for too much longer” ??
lol
JBJ’s not arrogant at all in my opinion, just that he knows he wants. I think he’s well grounded actually, praises accurately his opponents and also mentions that he has weaknesses.. very level headed i’d say
Do to the fact that Jones is now saying its his destiny to be champion for years he’s gonna lose to Machida. If you noticed during the Jones/Rampage fight Rampage knew what to look for against Jones.Though he still list Rampage showed us Jones game plan can be countered because he doesn’t change. He does the same shit he did in his last 3 fights. Unless he pulls some Anderson Silva shit and does a move alot of people don’t really use well lol
by same shit, you mean every move imaginable? he just pulled a flying triangle last fight lmao
Rampage saw those spinning moves from a mile away. He may have gotten struck more than Jones but he never in any real trouble. Out of the two times he was taken down he got right back up. The second “takedown” he really slipped. Rampage like he said did choke and he never really got in range to drop those bungalows.
What he actually says is “I’m starting to understand what makes Lyoto Lyoto.” There’s a big difference between “I’m starting to understand” and actually knowing. He’ll actually understand when he’s laid out on the canvas by a Lyoto flying crane kick and then has his wrist broken by a Seagal inspired aikido wrist lock.
I saw Jon.Jones kiss a guy in the lips im New York the other day. He then proceeded to put his hand in his pants
shut the **** up prodigy, you’ll get catch an ass whippin with talk like that
joe2 watch who you talk to like that
Prodigy and Joe3, you actually want a piece? you wanna go? cause if so then come on man, im not going anywhere! hear me mother ****ers, IM NOT GOIN ANYWHERE! COME ON!!!!!!!
I’ll meet you downtown LA starbucks tomorrow 3 PM
how about the Gracie BJJ mat in burbank, 3:00 ill be wearing a black bandana and make ill sure the floor is clear. punk
your instructor would be so proud
joe2 only sports pink belts..
Hey joe2, I’ll tap you out in your own gym.
When asked, Segal stated i would not like to see anderson vs. Jon,,, why? cause he knowssss lol, in that interview was he asked about lyoto & Jon??? NOPE
Crain kick is one of the easiest kicks there is. You learn that as a yellow belt.
Anderson is one bad yellow belt! Lol
get outta this forum jonesy you’re a complete idiot. all you do is talk nonsense
Love both fighters and wont bet money on this. Oh and I hate most you ppl on BJ penn because are dumb focks.
should be awesome fight, alot of jones haters, i want the dragon to win to but against jones its very possible that it dont happen.
Jones forgot to mention that Machida is a proficient counter puncher. Maybe that’s something Greg Jackson and Winklejohn forgot to prepare him for. Watch out for those Japanese leg sweeps…. Jones will the taken down for the first time at UFC 140.
jon jones game plan: spinning back elbow, flying knee, kicking the knees and putting his fingers in machidas face! he’s not as unpredictable as he thinks
Jones will finally take a nice one in the face just like his #1 groupie fag Joe takes nut in the face from his favorite bandwagon champion.
Dont care who wins
I hope lyoto tornado kicks him right in his neck
Two of my fav fighters going at it but with all emotion put to the side my $$’s on Bones.
I’m more a Machida fan that a JBJ fan, but I can’t deny JBJ’s talent. He’s been taking out seasoned pros like, like…ho’s! …? ne-way, that being said, if I had a $100 000 to bet? Honestly, I’d put it on the champ.
Probably the only time you ever liked him. Lol
