What happened to that fighter who once KOd Jon Jones in sparring?

[Melas Chasma]

He was some journeyman level MW sized BJJ guy, can't remember his name. Jones once confirmed it in some interview he was KOd by that guy.

I guess it's just a good example of how easy it is to get KOd no matter who you are, if you lose your focus for a split second.

Some say he hid under the cage and never came out bro.

I think it was around the Bonnar fight, so years ago.

Jones talked about it himself.

Bullshit. You're confusing this with the story about DC getting KO'd in sparring by LHW Mike Kyle back in the strikeforce days.

 

[Normot]

I admit, I was sparring like an asshole. Sorry Jones.

Source or you're fuckin dreaming

Matt Hamill recreated the feat by destroying Jones in 1 round to prove it wasn't a fluke.

Nope, like I said it was Jones who said it. I think his name was Mike Mattenzio or something similar, but I can't fight any fighter with that name. It was a long one on one interview, and that story was a small part of it. Said he got flash KOd by him.

"I got flash knocked out once," he says. He wasn't the baddest motherfucker on Earth then; he was just Jon "Bones" Jones, a 21-year-old kid with a smooth, unmarred face, warm, loud eyes, a 7-0 record, and an upcoming light-heavyweight fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was sparring with a fighter named Mike Massenzio—just some guy, really—who happened to be a southpaw, and happened to throw a punch Jones didn't see coming.

"The next thing you know, I saw white light and I was sitting on my butt," he says. "I was like, 'Ah, shit. You musta got me.'"
