During the UFC 140 post-fight press conference, the fighters available answered questions on a variety of different topics and events. The fighters on hand were Chan Sung Jung, Frank Mir, Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida, Rogerio Nogueira and Brian Ebersole.
Machida gave his breakdown of the fight, and it seemed spot-on as he felt the fight was even until Jones cut him with the elbow. Machida admitted the cut threw him off, and the next thing he knew it was nighty night.
Machida also talks about his future, saying he will simply wait for a call from the UFC to hear what’s next and that he will come back from this setback.
I was able to ask The Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung if this was the biggest knockout of his career, and his translated answer was, “Yes it was, I was supposed to lose this fight so I feel bad for the Canadian fans.”
Jung stunned the Canadian crowd by countering a sloppy left hook from local hero Mark Hominick with a straight right to the button. He knocked out Hominick in 0:07 seconds, tying a UFC record for the quickest knockout.
Jon Jones finally told the media where he went for his pre-fight meditation ritual—Balls Falls in the Niagara Peninsula. The conservation area has beautiful waterfalls, and Jones found one to do the job. He admitted it was too cold for him to stay his usual length of time.
Brian Ebersole talks about his slightly controversial decision win against Claude Patrick. I think the fight could have been called either way, but he is right when he says that he ended up on top of most of the exchanges with Patrick, and I don’t think the decision was that unjust.
