Lyoto or Jones? And Why?

If' I were betting money I would probably go Bones bcuz just on how he dominates good fighters but Machida is so good at avoiding being hit (except by Shogun lol) that he could give Jones a hard time. If it's a striking contest Machida will probably take it. If Jon Jones grapple/wrestles or attacks from the clinch to tie Machida up I give it to Jones. All I know is that if Bones wins, I better not see Rashad get in the ring and they act like they are going to fight soon, again .

I'm going with Jones because I think he is the future, unless Steven Segal teaches Machida some crazy attack, which Segal will take credit for even if he didn't teach him it.

Jones is just crazy. I do favor Machida more though because of his spirit. I am expecting Jones to win but can also see Machida somehow taking it...hopefully through a mental game.

Yeah I see what you guys are saying. Jones chin hasn't really been tested and many people say you don't know what you are made of till you loose and come back. Jones has to be getting paid he's had like 3 PPV this year.

He took a shot to the jaw by Machida, stumbled back but didn't go down. He mentioned how folks weren't sure on whether he can take a punch or not but after seeing him take one in the mouth, I've gotta say Jones is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters.

Yeah. You never know how someone can take a punch till they get punched. That standing Guillotine was sick though.

Fuck yes. The standing Guillotine was brutal. This was only the second UFC event I've ever watched but I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Mir almost going limp and coming back to win it with the submission was amazing. Broken limb aside, that whole bit blew me away.

Yeah Mir's Khamara was sick and the Nougeria's broken arm looked even sicker.
