Jon Jones Victory over Quinton Jackson: A Guide to Breaking Down Bullies

At UFC 135 Jon Jones succeeding in beating Jackson, but he also humbled a bully.

Jackson has been known for many great fights over the years but he also has some less-than-positive behavior outside of it.

He claimed going into the fight that he got no respect from Jones, as seen here.

However, Jackson hasn't shown much respect for other fighters as can be seen here.

He has also stated that he is an "alpha," in which he believes he is better than most males.

In other words he believes he is better than most males because he is physically superior.

That mentality is shared by most bullies who believe that because they are bigger and stronger they can do what they want.

This Saturday Jones played on Jackson's emotional immaturity and in doing so got not just a victory, but a great submission.

Jones started the fight by moving around on all fours and eliminating Jackson's ability to strike.  After pressing Jackson against the cage and moving in and out of his range, Jones started to frustrate Jackson.  As Jackson got frustrated he started plodding and throwing heavier, but slower hands.

It only got worse for Jackson, who is a former amateur wrestler, as he was taken by Jones and then beat by Jones' ground and pound technique.

Just as it seemed like Jackson might be calming down, Jones threw a leg kick and then slapped Jackson's face which set him off again.

By the end of the third round, though, Jackson looked disheartened.

In the fourth Jones finished him off.

Jones did the same thing to Jackson that happens whenever a potential victim stands up to a bully: He stood up to him and embarrassed him in front of others.

Jackson is so used to getting his way that he wasn't emotionally capable of handling that kind of reaction.

Jackson is a great fighter.  He is also very smart.  He just isn't emotionally mature.  

At the end of the fourth Jones sunk in the choke, and the truth is, Jackson probably could have fought it off longer, but he didn't.

It seemed to be a humbling experience that left Jackson a little less aggressive, but time will tell.

Jackson might learn or he might come back meaner then before.

Just like a bully on the playground, next time he steps into the Octagon, we'll have a chance to watch and see.
