It wasn’t easy, but Jon Jones is still the UFC light heavyweight champion.
In a sensational main event to cap a great UFC 140 card in Toronto, Jones choked out Lyoto Machida in the second round with a deep standing guillotine, winning only after being tested in a hard-fought first round.
“He did punch me pretty good and wobble me a little bit so it was good,” Jones said. “I think one of my biggest critic points is that I can’t take a punch, so I’m glad to prove it to myself and to everyone that I can take a legit hit.”
