UFC NEWS – Jones Knows Lyoto Is A Puzzle That Needs Solving, But Confident He Is Just As Crafty
“Lyoto’s a pretty crafty guy. I believe that I’m pretty crafty as well. And You know, everyone just keeps asking me, ‘How are you going to figure out this this tough puzzle?’ My answer to that is that I feel as if I’m a pretty tough puzzle to figure out. So I really just need to focus on what I need to do to win the fight and let everything take care of itself. When you look at guys lke Georges St-Piere, Anderson Silva, guys who have defended their belt nine times, six times, these guys are awesome. They have accomplished so much. I won’t be satisfied untl I am the best.”

donny u spelled your own name wrong. dont worry i wont teach you anything, just like your parents didn’t.
No I didn’t… homo
Comment like that you must be a fag.
comprehension like that you must be a fag lover.
Seriously though it’s ok if you’re gay. I have no problem with it. Post away, maybe even bang one out when your watching the ufc, whatever floats your boat. I’ve read a few of your posts and you definitely take it up the shitter. It’s a lifestlye choice, not one I’d make but its who you are. Come out you’ll feel so much better in yourself.
yea jones you are crafty, but you are no puzzle. Everybody knows that a guy with reach must be fought on the inside. Lyoto is a better striker, grappler, and over all fighter. he is more experieced, he is faster, and he will close the distance. Jon Jones will find out what a reverse punch to the nose feels like and he will also be put on his back…..lyoto has this one in the bag. please someone explain to me how Jones has a chance.
who cares what he looks like, that langky mother****er will own anybody who steps to him
lol UFC on fox and hes a celebrity, want him to dress like a bum?
dude did u hear the song they played on fox during the end. too gay. made me think goin to fox is gonna prove problematic in the long run. adjustments will need to be made. u just dont play a girlish pop song while showing the mans face who just KO’d cain velasquez to be champion to top off the premier. u just dont…. u just… dont
Im actually more interested in the wrestling match up than I am the stand up. I wonder if we’re gonna see another exciting bout from Jones, or if Jackson is gonna gameplan for takedowns? Then, can Lyoto defend them as well as he has in the past?
sumo vs greco. its like street fighter II.
Ryu vs. Sagat!!! Thats the best comparison I can make! LOL
Ryu vs Dhalism
If Machida is Ryu then Shogun is Sagat.
I just can’t wait 2 c tha fight let tha best man win, if jones get it he’s gonna get a new fan
Probably one of the most intruiguing matchups we’re’ going to see for quite sometime. I never imagined the possibility of Machida fighting a guy who’s just as unorthodox and elusive as himself. I have a feeling this is going to have a “don’t blink” type of finish. But for whom, I do not know!
Jones got this.
agreed
pretty sure jones has a massive reach advantage on lyoto, it will be hard for him to use the same style as jones will be able to catch him coming in very easily
Sagat?? The comparison is lyoto-Ryu and jones- Dhalism! Long arms and legs
Great match up, lots of respect to Jon Jones for scrapping so much this year and the impressive resume he’s building. This would be the third legend of the year but on that December night I will take Machida. I think Machida will find ways to get within firing range and he’ll make it an interesting contest. TEAM PENN !!!!!!!
Two of my favorite LW,s… this one’s going to be good stylistically, I think if Bone’s can get his hands on Machida he’ll have the advantage, but will they’re standing I think Lyoto’s experience and style may have the edge.
* LHW’s
I’m thinking that this will be the first opponent who is completely comfortable kicking with Jones (*still have no idea why Shogun did not implement his kick arsenal vs. Jones, possibly due to the potential takedown).
Machida’s takedown defense is top notch, there’s no denying that. It will be interesting to see if Jones can take him down as easily as he has with his previous opponents, I’m doubting it (at least during the first couple rounds).
If Lyoto can keep Jones from putting him on his back, this is going to be a very competitive fight and will be the first time we see Jones taking multiple shots standing up (having his chin tested)…something neither Rampage or Shogun were really able to accomplish due to their style / game-plan.
We already know Lyoto’s chin is suspect, so Jones’ reach advantage will become a problem if Machida becomes careless like he was vs. Shogun 2.
Jon Jones recently bought a $100,000 car yet dresses like Elton John…. (I shake my head)
That’s funny, because that’s the first thing I said when I saw the pic. He is lookin’ a lil Rashad Evans-ish as of late. Anywho, the man with the new attitude and style of dress is still a beast!
whud up Jon,looks like your tryin to steal Rashads look,thats not coo………
Yeah, at first I thought Rashad was on some hate shit when he was screamin’ all that “swagger jacking” rah rah, but now… Looks like he may have a point.
Come on jones stop looking like rashad lolol wtf
