UFC 140 - Jones vs Machida

[Captain America]

I think Jones takes a boring decision over Machida. If he'd smart (and I believe he is) he'll keep his distance with low, infrequent leg kicks and try to counter Machida's strikes. Machida has a sumo and judo background, I don't think Jones will try to clinch with him, Machida has great defense from the clinch sneaky good trips. Tough matchup for both men, and unless Jones loses his patience, I think it's his fight to lose.

I think Rashad, on the other hand, puts Jones on his prissy little ass and pounds a hole in hid head.

I dont know, I dont think Jones would have any trouble with machida in the clinch. He has such a good posture in the clinch, and he's so powerful, keeping Machida against the cage shouldnt be a problem. Throw in the mix his throw's and takedowns, then for me Machida needs to keep the distance. Check out Jones v Bonner, he threw Bonner round like a rag doll, some crazy judo throws!
Jones 4th rd sub of TKO in my book.
