Holy lord, here we go—I still can't quite believe this fight is already happening.
********************************
The duo shook hands after the instructions, touched gloves to start and then Jon jones started with his crazy bag of tricks. A flying kee opened up the scoring before a spinning side kick was deftly avoided by the champ.
What Shogun couldn't avoid was a cushing takedwon from the accomplished wrestler and then Bones powered through a sloppy triangle attempt from the Brazilian star.
As elbows landed from the challenger and each jiu-jitsu defensive maneuver was foiled, the bigger problem for Shogun became Jones' comfort level. Each bony elbow landed to Mauricio's head or midsection reminded Jones he was just in another fight.
An Andeson Silva special front kick almost ended the matter after a previous salvo wobbled the UFC light heavyweight kingpin.
And the entire time brutal sidekicks to Shogun's left knee risked blowing out every tendon in the champion's most vulnerable joint.
That's a 10-8 for Jones.
