There’s no doubt that at 39 years old, Belarusian light heavyweight
Vladimir Matyushenko has accomplished far more in
MMA than 23-year-old Jon Jones.
Matyushenko has fought for a UFC title, albeit unsuccessfully, and won a
belt in the now-defunct International Fight League. “The Janitor” owns
wins on three different continents.
Yet going into the pair’s main event bout at August’s UFC on Versus 2,
Jones is the overwhelming crowd favorite. Not to worry Matyushenko says;
that just makes his job easier.
