WHATS A CAGE DOING IN THE KITCHEN? LOL =) JK
HAPPY THANKS GIVING TO ALL MY FELLOW CAGE FIGHTERS AND CAGE-POTATOES
It would have been fun if Jones got knocked down by accident
how tall is this chick, Jones usually makes other look tiny she seems pretty big next to him.
lmao its the hair. shes huge though, and ****ing good.
Insert "ground -n- pound" joke here.
You could tell that after she caught Jones a few times, he wanted to throw some power. Training with females is pretty much defense only.
Nuh uh!!!
This is a really good gesture, and she will probably be a very good technical triker but when it comes ot things such as speed and strength that's where she will be lacking so this won't be doing much for Jones.
Also she is striking like a normal boxer (obviously) and is striking nothing even close to how Machida does it.
I like Jones and he is just doing doing this for publicity and or the exxperience but this is not going to help him in his upcoming fight in the slightest.
This is some of the first footage I've seen on Jones' camp, obviously she isn't simulating Machida but JOnes might just be practicing how HE is going to attack Machida and if he is then... well lets just look at how many body punches he throws in this video. Attacking Machida's body in the upcoming fight perhaps? To be honest Machida does stad completely upright and charges body first a lot of the time and will leave himself open and by standing upright his organs are less cushioned and easier to damage.
This is what he want ppl to think
I read that Jones is helping her train because her next opponent has a big reach advantage
Right... I do mention that he's helping her prepare for her title fight in the description. Thanks.
This video got out to get machida to believe that jones is going to stand up with him so he could get machida to relax and be confident and work on his standup more so they could have him mesmerized when jones gose for the takedown in the first 3 seconds..
john jones fuk u, you have ruined the way I look at the MMA
cry for me more
how has he ruined MMA he finish's his opponents? And bring a unique and exciting style.
I think folk are reading way too much into this. This is clearly a PR stunt for both these fighters.
And this would be his excuse
Her stance is interesting. She obviously has no worries about a double leg
she has a very good missionary/ guard game
shes a boxer
I would like to see this girl fight Cyborg for the title... i believe Holm is 2-0 Pro MMA
Wtf is this crap?!
Rampage would have motor boated her!
I have seen Jones and he is a tall guy and this chick doesn't look small at all. She might be more than 6 feet tall Jones is 6'4"
Don't listen to these fools Jon. A woman has a different center or gravity and throws punches from different angles. Look at what Ann Wolfe has done for James Kirkland. Continue to think outside the box and be an innovator. People will doubt you now, but will they later????????????
shes ****in hot lol
