striking. it's always going to be striking. even though Jones was outstriking him in the first fight.
this is Jones biggest weakness. when guys get in on him, he clinches, when guys stay back he uses his reach. it's being able to get inside while at the same time avoiding his clinch where DC has a small chance to do something and hurt Jones. otherwise, i think Jones wins again.
I think DC is going to have to control the distance. DC has such a severe reach disadvantage that he cannot stand on the outside and try to trade shots. Jones is dangerous on the inside due to his elbows and stellar clinch work, but DC should be able to negate that. I think Jones' length really surprised DC in that first fight. Now that he's had that experience he knows what to expect and should be able to game plan a little better. Basically clinch up, work the body and head and tire Jones out.
When questions are asked about how exactly DC will win I feel his hype train slowing down while people are jumping off the sides. It's just a hard question to answer. He's going to have to out strike Jones for 3 rounds. That is his only path to victory, and I hope he finds it.
I wish DC all the best but ring rust is his only chance to win if Jon is equal to what he was. If Jon's head is in his own ass DC might win but nobody knows where his head is. If his hair is any indication DC might finish him. DC can not beat Jon Jones with technique although I wish he would knock that smartass look off Jones face
