Machida was asked what advantages he might have against Jones.

It’s hard to say, said Machida. Maybe my experience will speak louder in this fight, but I’m not sure.

Stylistically the match up is intriguing. Jones has youth, athleticism, takedowns, and a big reach advantage, but Machida is difficult to take down, difficult to hit, and is a precision striker with an incredible ratio of strikes landed versus strikes thrown inside the Octagon.

I guarantee that on Dec. 10 I’ll be very well prepared, and I can overcome his athleticism with my technique, stated Machida.
