SAN DIEGO – Although becoming “fundamentally sound” would seem a logical goal for any mixed martial artist, Jon Jones thinks quite the opposite.
The 23-year-old light-heavyweight contender – who scored a quick TKO victory over veteran Vladimir Matyushenko in Sunday’s UFC on Versus 2 main event – doesn’t want his fighting style to become too rigid or too predictable.
That’s why he and his trainers at Greg Jackson’s camp focused on a tool that fighters rarely address: creativity.
