Who is going to be watching the 24 year old Jon Jones (youngest champion in UFC history) defend his Light Heavyweight UFC tittle against former champion Lyoto Machida December 10th? I know I will be "spending" money with my friends to order that fight. I put spending in quotations because buying UFC on pap-per-view is not a "waste" of money at all. This will be Jon Jones 2nd tittle defense. His first tittle defense came agaisnt no other then probably the most respected fighter in the Light Heavyweight division besides "The Iceman" Chuck Lidell, Quinton "The Rampage" Jackson. His nickname is the rampage.
I am not saying Machida doesn't have a chance at beating Jon Jones this saturday, I am just saying his chances are very slim. Jones has the longest reach in UFC history with it being 84.5 inches. His arm length is not human, he can land punches from over 3 feet away. His now famous spinning elbow has been clocked at 900 degrees pre second which happens to be faster then an Apache helicopter. Also in another fight while his opponent and himself were on the ground Jones landed 10 elbows to the face in 4 seconds, fight over. One more fact, Jones chock hold has over 500 pounds of force on it. If a fighter can over come those stattistics then he might have a chance to beat Jones.
