Jon Jones feels Machida is very beatable

Up and coming UFC Light Heavyweight talks to USA Today about his thoughts on 205lb Champ Lyoto Machida:

Quote:
“I think Machida is getting a lot of hype, and I know he has lots of big wins over a lot of big fighters, and a lot of experience over me. I don’t think he’s Christ; I think he’s very beatable. They’re looking at him and his karate like he’s Bruce Lee. He’s not Bruce Lee. He’s very beatable. I honestly believe that a great Muay Thai champion will beat a great karate fighter any day; it’s been proven on lots of occasions. If Machida has (the belt) by the time I get to that level, I’ll be ready for him. I’ll have a lot of game planning and a lot of strategy ready. I want to be that greater Muay Thai fighter to beat a great karate champion. I don’t think Rashad Evans came with any type of game plan, but to look really cool or look really fancy, dancing around in pretty footwork stances. He really didn’t come up with any way to beat him. I didn’t see any of his strengths. I didn’t see any takedown attempts or any straight right hands that are always good against southpaws or anything. He was just out there looking flashy. I’m going to go out there and pull the trigger if I ever get to fight Machida. I respect him a lot, but I definitely think he’s very beatable. I know I have a lot of time before I get to that level of fighting him, but when I do, I definitely won’t be nervous or intimidated by him at all, and (I’ll be) ready to fight him.”

Maybe a few more wins, and in about a year he will get his chance.

He'll regret it if he ever gets to face Machida(which I doubt he will).

This is the dude that trains by watching videos on YouTube? Entertaining fighter, smart move. Unfortunately, I'm very confident that Machida would eat him alive.

Re: Jon Jones feels Machida is very beatable

What's wrong with feeling you can beat someone?

Of course I think Machida would beat him but it's ok for fighters to believe they can beat the best if you don't believe it you end up with GSP vs Hughes 1.

You look silly if it's later emphatically proven that you can't.

Re: Jon Jones feels Machida is very beatable

Jon Jones is a very talented unique fighter, His striking and Throws against Bonnar where awesome ... he was throwing him around like a rag-doll and Bonnar is a big 205'r!!

But Machida is on another level the guy is incredibly hard to hit, and his timing is very hard to read because he's always changing his attacks and stances..

Think only person who's gonna be able to challenge Machida is Anderson Silva and I cant see 2 friends from the same camp fighting each other soon.
