HOUSTON – UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been on quite the whirlwind adventure in the past 14 days.
After defeating Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Jones was planning to take a
little vacation. Then came a challenge from Rashad Evans, which Jones
answered. Now, it’s Lyoto Machida. No sweat, says “Bones.”
“Obviously taking Lyoto on nine weeks has sped up a lot of things, but I
feel between every great challenge lies great reward,” Jones today told
MMAjunkie.com. “I think I’m on the verge of
something amazing happening by beating three champions in one year. I’m
honored.”
