JON JONES vs. LYOTO MACHIDA

Round 1: Well, we’ve finally seen Jon Jones get touched. Lyoto Machida looks like the karate superstar of old, at least briefly, and even rocked Jones with a nice combo. He’s elusive and Jones seems to be getting frustrated. Machida’s elusiveness, the kind he used to display in the run that made him one of the best fighters in the sport, is back, and if he can keep this up he’ll be on his way to winning back the light heavyweight title.

Round 2: Well, Machida started off well, but he ended up the fight on the ground, completely unconscious, the victim of an unorthodox guillotine choke that only worked because, well, Jones has really long arms. It was a standing guillotine that did the trick, and when referee John McCarthy broke it up, Jones tossed Machida to the canvas and walked away. Jon Jones d. Lyoto Machida via submission, round 2
