How can a fighter beat Jon Jones?

He needs to excel in following areas: Boxing, understanding of the striking game, footwork and lateral movement, TDD, physical talent, pressure, cardio

Boxing - exploit one of Jones' weaknesses
Understanding of striking - obvious
Footwork and use of lateral movement - keep Jones from getting into his groove, keep him resetting, keep him from landing takedowns and kicks at will
TDD - keep Jones from landing points by takedowns
Physical talent - obvious
Pressure - needs to dictate the fight and not just chill on the outside
Cardio - obvious

well interestingly enough, this seem to fit a ufc lhw fighter just about right
 
I think we both know how that ended. But yea, I agree with you, the Dragon is a bad ass.

a curiosity for sherdoggers but after the machida fight jj was already pre-ducking him saying that he wouldnt fight him again cause the ppv did bad numbers

Yup, I just copied the blueprint the Mauler so elegantly laid out for me. :wink:
