Media Jon Jones talks about almost breaking Machida's neck

[MeganFan]

"I had his neck pretty tight. I honestly felt like I could've broken his neck at the time."

Could Machida have been the first serious casualty of the octagon? The fact that the thought even went through his mind shows that he goes to some dark places in his mind. Thank goodness he showed mercy and didn't break Machida's neck for the world to see.

 

[ChimRichalds]

I don't doubt that he could have, seeing as Machida was out cold. Was a brutal choke.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

I believe Jones.

 

[herpd807]

Pretty sure there is a photo out there as to how bent Lyoto's neck was...I honestly thought he had killed him when I watched this live.

Dan Miller watching that be like: hold my beer!

machida uses that straight left when jones tries to kick him
jones faked the low kick and counterd machidas straight left
he counterd the master of counter strikers

Never in your life will you see a human being come close to snapping another human being’s neck. It’s nearly impossible.

At least Jones was nice enough to “go get some fans” by checking on Lyoto after the fact.

Yeah you kids must be confusing movies with real life.

In real life It takes a lot of force, and you have to get the person’s head into a certain position and make sure the rest of their body doesn’t move, otherwise the body will just move with the neck.

 

[Qwerty1]

If Jon could have broke his neck he probably would have.

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

Dropping him like a sack of potatoes after the choke was one of the biggest dirtbag moves in MMA history.

I almost got my neck broken by a chiropractor a few days ago, and he charged me £60 for the pleasure...



Fucking crooks.

I remember that fight so clearly... I thought Machida was dead and that Jones had actually snapped his neck for real.

The way he tosses him to the ground after is some psycho shit that can't be taught.

 

[JoeganMoldberg]

Dropping him like a sack of potatoes after the choke was one of the biggest dirtbag moves in MMA history.

Its happened many times before and after Lyoto got choked. Lyoto himself said this is a combat sport and he wasn't upset about it after the fact.

This is MMA, what do you expect? You wanted Jones to lay him down softly and tuck him in with a pillow and a blanket?

 

[wolffanghameha]

Machida the master plumber.
