Jones: Machida hit me harder than anyone

MMALivesHere · January 25

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (17-1) says Lyoto Machida (18-3) hit him harder than anyone else. "The Dragon" clashed with Jones in December 2011, losing via front chancery choke late in the second round - the champ's favourite finish of his career. But in the first round, Machida hit Jones with a straight left flush on the jaw. At today's UFC Fight Club Q&A, he said it was the hardest shot he'd ever taken.

"Hardest hitter, I would have to say Lyoto Machida caught me flush. He caught me pretty good."

"Sonnen via flying armbar" LMFAO, that Q&A crowd was special.

Sisti · January 25

pretty cool of him to spend that much time to answer fan questions

don't care what anyone says, he seems like a genuine real person

Great link!

great Q&A

He took Machida's best shot and still came back to beat him. Jones is just too good at LHW

If Jones is a genuine person then I'm Santa Clause. He's so fake it's laughable, he's done nothing but contradict what he says he is his entire career. Facts speak for themselves, actions are strong then words, hands down Jones is the worst champion the UFC has ever had, not skill wise just in regards to being a coward being the first champion to ever duck a fight, with a small out of shape guy, and yea the rest of the stuff hes done wrong which is 3 pages long.

Since media coverage on Jones has been on the low, he's gotten better. I think that with the constant media attention, that spotlight created an uncomfortable atmosphere and Jones at times got caught either contradicting himself, or saying something straight up stupid. But I think that he is carrying himself well these days and I hope that this continues. As a former Jones hater, I have to admit that I don't mind him anymore.

i would like to know better about these things he contradict himself. would you please enlighten me?

The Q&A was pretty good actually. Very funny, I actually hate him a lot less now because of that. He's a chill dude.

Machida has completed his transformation properly now. He has ascended to Super Saiyan 2 his speed did not decline with his increase with power and precision as demonstrated in the Bader fight, he will take the Jones rematch.

Lol wtf?

Beanslegend · January 26

What contradictions you say Spartacus... Well i'm not going to do 3 pages long so here's a few, Drunk Driving with Escorts, while before and after admittedly he's "faithful" and "respects LAW", two contradictions in one. Ducking Chael, contradicting that he would "fight anybody" not duck and be the first coward to do so EVER in UFC history lol. Saying he's got "respect and honour" even though before the Shogun fight he was signing himself "champion" basically pissing in Shogun's face who helped build this sport up to legendary status. Hmmm what else, lol. Stop train jumping brother? Facts are facts, I just pointed out hes being a liar throughout his whole career, and it's not to say he's always lieing or being a coward, but he's got a bigger record of it then any other champion in history. Empirically deduced facts with references miles long.

See in his last fight with Shogun and agasint Jones Machida came in way to over-muscled like Super Vegeta, he gave up his stamina and speed a bit for power, but then he fixed it up and did it right the second time wen he fought Bader he came in with better speed, stamina and power to a level beyond his former self.

Beanslegend · January 26

SUPER SAIYAN MACHIDA! I have dreamed he would be champ again, when he beat Rashad and fish lipped him, I think we can all agree we were doing the Carleton from fresh prince.

I understand now

machida kept rushing in against jones, it seemed effective in the first round but with jones reach and machidas suspect chin it didnt end well.
