UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida Results and Post-Fight Analysis

UFC 140 saw Jon Jones in his first true test as a champion with Lyoto Machida putting on a very good challenge. In the end, Jones wised up and got away from playing a distance striking game that played into Machida's strengths and got inside. Once it was an in close battle in the clinch and ground, it was all Jones.
The first round saw Machida use movement and his trademark elusiveness to avoid the punches and kicks of Jones. Machida won the opening frame through defense and landing his own flurries that did appear to hurt Jones a little bit.
Jones did what great champions do though and stopped doing what wasn't working. He got a takedown and it was only one or two elbows before Machida had a very bad cut opened on his forehead. The doctors allowed the fight to continue, but it didn't matter. A left hand by Jones hurt Machida and then Jones locked up a standing guillotine choke that put Lyoto Machida to sleep.
Let's run down some of the highlights of the evening:
- Jon Jones in 2011 beat Ryan Bader, won the title from Mauricio Rua and defended against Quinton Jackson and Lyoto Machida. While some will argue for Shogun's 2005 year, Jones just completed the best year I've ever seen in MMA. I may not be crazy for his personality, but I'm no dummy. That guy is an absolute force of nature.
- Frank Mir broke the everloving hell out of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's arm in a pretty crazy fight. Nogueira was busting Mir up with punches, first working off the jab, then landing a hard right that dropped Mir. Nogueira was punching Mir trying to get the finish and then decided to go for a guillotine which Mir escaped and eventually turned into a kimura. Nogueira refused to tap which resulted in his arm breaking. It was a nasty, nasty moment that keeps Mir in the title hunt.
- Nogueira/Mir was another good example of why you never, ever, ever abandon position to go for a submission, especially on a very good submission fighter. Mir was much more likely to get finished by punches than that choke.
- Just a reminder, trending on Twitter is meaningless. Old movies on cable TV trend on twitter all the time. Lamont Peterson was trending for his HBO fight with Amir Khan with Jon Jones was trending. It's got no deep meaning and it's time to stop celebrating every time something MMA related pops up. It should be expected, not celebrated.
- Tito Ortiz looked pretty decent letting his hands go against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, but his body couldn't stand up to the attack of Lil' Nog. A knee to the body hurt and dropped him and then Nogueira keyed in on the other side of Tito's body, hitting the same exact spot over and over with punches and elbows until the referee was forced to stop it.
- Tito says he wants to fight one more time (the last on his contract) and have that be it for his career. As much fun as it can be to make fun of Tito for some of the things he has said over his career, the guy has had a pretty spectacular near 15 year run.
- I thought Claude Patrick pretty clearly defeated Brian Ebersole, given that he had the better offense throughout the fight. But being pushed up against the cage and taken down is still death on most scorecards even if the other guy isn't doing a lot. That being said, I don't think Patrick made a clear enough case for me to get upset over a robbery, and if there was home cooking at all it would have been in the other direction.
- Mark Hominick came out with a sloppy right hand and lost because of it. The idea of Chan Sung Jung winning in under ten seconds seemed absurd coming in, but that's MMA for you.
- I still think Jung vs. Jose Aldo is a good idea. The fans have taken a big liking to Jung and they generally don't care about the featherweights yet. I think this is a time for fan friendly fights more than stuff like Aldo vs. Mendes, which is certain box office death.
More after the jump
- Krzysztof Soszynski was expected to run through Igor Pokrajac, instead he got punched in the head. A lot. Pokrajac looks downright scary at times against guys who have bad defense, unfortunately he can't fight K-Sos every time out.
- Speaking of guys who looked scary, Constantinos Philippou absolutely trucked Jared Hamman. Hamman has a good chin. But against a guy who hits as hard as Costa, a good chin just delays the inevitable it you allow it to get touched repeatedly.
- Dennis Hallman ran through John Makdessi in a way that had people saying that Hallman being 2.5 pounds over had no impact on the fight. That seems to ignore the physical toll that having to cut two and a half more pounds might have had on his body. So it's good to see Hallman suggest that it's basically a wash rather than a huge win given his weight problems.
- Walel Watson and Yves Jabouin fought and it was...not particularly memorable. I had it for Watson, but like Claude Patrick, he didn't make a clear enough statement for me to get upset.
- There is nothing as funny to me as Nik Lentz complaining that he got screwed by judges that valued top position to much. You're Nik Lentz!
- I don't know that I feel like Jake Hecht is special, but those elbows that dropped Rich Attonito were something else.
- John Cholish is a real fighter who is going to give people trouble. The scramble at the end of his fight with Mitch Clarke that led to him taking Clarke's back and landing punches to force the stoppage was beautiful.

This card was one of the best PPVs of the year
Just below UFC 134 for me on Patrick/Ebersole alone.
Too bad this card probably did not draw well in the buyrate.

Korean Zombie vs Aldo
Mismatch? Maybe, but sign me up.
LeBron James - 0 Charles Barkley - 0 Karl Malone/John Stockton - 0 Sun Yue -1
I would expect the Poirier/Koch winner to be next
but with two decisive victories I think he’s right after them. And I think he has a bigger name than either of them. I wouldn’t mind seeing him take on the winner of Hioki/Palaszewski for the next title shot.
LeBron James - 0 Charles Barkley - 0 Karl Malone/John Stockton - 0 Sun Yue -1
Well according to GSP-fight logic
Aldo just got exposed by the korean zombie.
KZ was ranked 38th going into this fight
It is crazy to put him directly into a title fight

Of course, I'd rather see Poirier/Koch followed by KZ/Hioki/Palaszewski.
But I wouldn’t mind seeing KZ getting hotshotted into a title fight when, like Bret said, it’d be a fan-friendly fight to get people interested in the FWs.
LeBron James - 0 Charles Barkley - 0 Karl Malone/John Stockton - 0 Sun Yue -1
I'm mad at Nog
for going for that submission. He had the fight and he made a huge mistake.
Card was a lot of fun though..Jones is a beast and was nice to see Lil Nog get a win after his 100th wrestler in a row.
Even though Shogun's coming off a loss
Lil Nog/Shogun II. Make it happen!
LeBron James - 0 Charles Barkley - 0 Karl Malone/John Stockton - 0 Sun Yue -1
I like it, but
I like Rampage vs Lil Nog even more. Or wait a month and give the winner of Vladdy vs Gustafsson Lil Nog so the Janitor can finish the trilogy if he wins. If.

Wrestling and jits. He also has length and tremendous agility. He has been out for so long that I can’t tell where his stand up is at today. That’s why I’m looking forward to see him against Rashad. It should give us a good indication. Also looking forward to see if Mousasi has improved his TDD when he faces OSP. With Mousasi it seems like he has been around forever but he is younger than Davis and still can improve his game. He’s so strong in other areas that if he can improve his wrestling he can be a force against anyone. They are all “what ifs” right now but they are young and talented enough to elevate their game whereas the old guard (Forrest, Page, Shogun, Hendo, Lil Nog, etc) are what they are and that is not going to be enough to get by Jones.

I dunno.
Mousasi may now be feeling a burnout given how early he started so I don’t see him moving to Jones’s level at this point; and as for Phil, I can give the benefit of the doubt (barely) given that the last two times he fought he did so with late notice and, I guess, once injured but I’m really not hot on that kool-aid—if you nail this thing, remind me later to give you some well deserved props for calling it.

by Unabomberman on Dec 11, 2011 1:44 AM EST up reply actions
Oh, don’t worry I will :). I would love to see what Mousasi does if he is called up to the UFC. I think that would alter his focus from taking kickboxing matches on NYE and tapping guys like O’Brien in seconds. He is so friggin talented from his striking, judo, submission skills, etc. He needs to adapt to North American MMA, something Fedor hasn’t been able to do, but he is a lot younger. We’ll see. Get back to me after his OSP fight.
If Phil shows up and puts a whooping on Rashad then his match against Jones will reach epic proportions. I think he has the raw talent to do it, I’m not sure about his team.

guess I must be missing something about Davis. He impressed against total cans for the most part, and his match against Lil Nog didn’t strike me as that great, and I even thought that Nog got kind of robbed maybe.
He certainly has potential, but I don’t think he’s anywhere close to challenging Bones at all. But we’ll learn a lot from the Rashad fight. I think Rashad destroys Davis.

Gustafsson is not a can. He is one of the LHW’s of the next gen. And Davis finished him. I see it as no lesser victory as someone like Bader. He is imminently talented and shares many of Jones’ strengths. He is a real threat.
It's that the world is basically a forced labor camp from which the workers, perfectly innocent, are led forth by lottery, a few each day, to be executed.

NO Gustafsson isn’t a can, but wasn’t he really inexperienced when he fought Davis? I just never put a lot into it.

The next generation in general is inexperienced against top flight competition. Jones has been thrust into the spotlight and has shined. I’m not certain, one way or another, the next gen would have similar success. LHW has always been the UFC’s premier division. Only the fights will tell us where each competitor is at.

I’m not disagreeing with you. Right now, today, Jones is above everyone out there. But, there are still holes in his game that his physical attributes cover for. A fighter has to adjust his game just for Jones. He’s awesome but his holes are vulnerable to someone who can overcome his physical attributes. No one in the old guard has those attributes but the next wave does. They just have a hell of a lot of catching up to do.

Go back and watch the Mousasi-King Mo fight
and tell me how Mousasi has any chance of staying upright. And once it’s on the ground, it’s hellbows to the face.Mousasi couldn’t even lock onto one of King Mo’s arms, and he supposedly has a chance against Bones?
Mousasi is a very, very bad option for a Jones fight. It would be a one-side massacre.

I think it is going to be a long time until Mexicans embrace MMA. You can still be a god in Mexico if you are a great boxer unlike in the United States.

Don’t get me wrong, there already is regional MMA (MAX FIGHTS, I think), you can look it up if you feel like it; but their wrestling base is, um, rather absent?

"You know Joe, if Keith Jardines last name was Johnson, the nickname 'The Dean of Mean' wouldn't work at all."
I thought Jon Jones was pretty damn humble in the post-fight interview with Rogan. I’d be willing to bet that a year from now the guy will be a favorite among newer fans. He came off really well in an interview I saw on ESPN the other day. I get the “he’s fake” stuff some people say about him, but I really think he’s turning out to be a decent, mature guy.

and I’m still top 10, albeit at number 10, as of the TUF finale. And I believe I finished #2 on wagers for the season behind Balrog, so I’m kind of like the #2 player in the whole contest since the wagers was the only official individual competition.

He's had the most impressive year ever
but when I think Anderson Silva status, I’m thinking crazy shit status like KOing someone with a front kick or clowning guys with his hands down. It’s not just winning and dominating, it’s doing so in a “I have to replay this ten times in a row” like fashion.
LeBron James - 0 Charles Barkley - 0 Karl Malone/John Stockton - 0 Sun Yue -1
I have yet to replay a single Jon Jones fight I own on dvd or tried to find it on the interwebs. I have watched Anderson steal Forrest’s dignity easily 50 times and I have not tired of it at all.

Jones would fuck the Spider up today
Yeah I said it. It wouldn’t even be close. Maybe Jones needs to fight more guys like Leites, Maia, Cotes and Lutter for him to get your respect.
These top 5 guys he keeps destroying isn’t enough cause he is awkward in interviews.

For me, at least...
…he acts weird, but isn’t really weird. Silva is outright eccentric, and I love that, but not everyone can do that. Jones could be a straight killer, and that would be cool, too – the Fedor mystique. But instead, he does things like speak in a British accent and money-crawl at the start of each fight for no real reason, then thanks God for everything. It feels forced to me. Perhaps I’m over-analyzing.

One thing I noticed is that Jones respected Machida’s striking more than anyone he has fought so far; he kept his hands up high the entire fight, something I can’t really remember him doing before (maybe Rampage?).

When Jones got Machida to the ground I knew it was over. I was surprised when Machida got up, but you could see the demoralization on him afterwards. The power had shifted.
DId anyone think that Rogan was overstating it when he said that Machida had Jones in Real trouble? I mean, yeah he connected with maybe two kicks that had no wind up (not a lot of power). I just didn’t feel like Machida had Jones in much trouble at all.
Maybe more accurate to say that it was the first clean connection.

Korean Zombie really suprised me, and Hominick seems to have forgot himself and it costed him.
I think Patrick was robbed, and I like Ebersole a lot
I feel Tito’s body has failed him. With all his injuries and fights, I think he should retire next fight. He is a good businessman, far better then many athletes. Lil Nog looked real good however, I’d like to see Lil Nog/Bonnar
I’m happy to see Mir win. It’s funny how Big Nog makes amazing comeback, everyone loves it. Mir does so and everyone gets upset.
Machida’s standing really made me second guess Jones’ dominance. Then Jones boss’d him.

Why is John Jones not accepted
the way Silva and GSP are? Simple; he’s beating the crap out of idols and heroes without being one first. He’s just some new guy going around beating the hell out of living legends from the champion – down. If he was going the traditional way, destroying contenders first then going for the title, he would have a more fleshed out story for people to grab onto.
For those that remember, this was the exact same way the crowd reacted to beating the crap out of Franklin. It wasn’t until after the second Franklin fight that people started coming around.
I think that’s happened or Jones now. There were plenty of cheers for him last night, which weren’t heard at the weigh-ins.
Really? I was in awe, watching Silva dismantle Franklin. I showed that fight to all my friends.

Crazy card..
I made it home just in time to watch the co-main event and main event on xbox for free testing on the UFC app…the Mir/Nog fight, i thought Mir was done after he ate that right, but when he magically got in top position and cranked on that kimura i screamed at the tv cuz it was so brutal and outta nowhere…i was kind of a Jones hater because I felt he was never really tested…Last night he proved me wrong, Machida hurt him and didn’t fall for any of his unorthodox strikes and played a perfect 1st ro…Then Jones put a dent in his skull with one elbow and EVERYTHING changed..when Machida’s body fell like that I was shocked and it hit me like…omg who can beat this guy?
