Jon Jones’ coach, Mike Winkeljohn, understands what is in front of his fighter in his next title defense, and is making sure to come up with a great gameplan.
Jones makes his next title defense as UFC light heavyweight champion against Thiago Santos in the main event of UFC 239 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend.
While doing a recent interview, Winkeljohn made it known that they understand the danger of fighting someone like Santos, which is why they have a great gameplan in place:
“Yeah, he has that knockout power. He is very explosive and is very good what he does,” Winkeljohn said to BJPENN.com. “He is dangerous and can attack you first. But, we have to worry about the counter. That is the most dangerous thing about Thiago.”
With such a dangerous striker in Santos, Winkeljohn knows that the right call would be to get Santos down on his back and let Jones rain down strikes. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t some danger with this tactic:
“Once Jon takes people down he lands the elbows and it is a bloody mess. So, the easiest path to victory is to take him down,” he explained. “But, with that being said, we don’t want to shoot and he lands a hard shot that hurts Jon. There are so many things that can happen.”
Santos will be fighting for UFC gold for the first time but this isn’t his first main event slot. Thus, going five-rounds won’t be the problem, but rather the level of competition that Jones brings to this fight.
Santos has looked great since moving from middleweight to light heavyweight as he is 3-0 with three TKO/KO wins in the weight class. If he is able to pick up the win over Jones it would certainly shock the world.
What are your thoughts on this exact strategy made up from Jon Jones’ coach?

Daniel Cormier knows Jon Jones’ capabilities inside the Octagon as well as anybody after having shared the cage with “Bones” twice now.
However, the bitter rivals are currently on different paths in their mixed martial arts (MMA) careers. Jones is preparing to defend his light heavyweight title this weekend (Sat. July 6, 2019) in the main event of the UFC 239 pay-per-view (PPV). He’ll take on Thiago Santos to headline International Fight Week.
As for Cormier, he’ll defend his UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 241 in August. Speaking to MMA Junkie recently, “DC” was asked for his thoughts on the matchup between Jones and Santos.
The heavyweight champ offered some advice to the Brazilian powerhouse before he steps into the Octagon with, arguably, the greatest of all time (via MMA News):
“I think Santos needs to go in there and fight his fight,” Cormier said. “Don’t think about what he has to do different than everybody else, what he needs to do to be better. Just fight your fight.
“Don’t worry about all that other stuff. All that other stuff is just white noise. Worry about Thiago Santos and give yourself a chance. It’s a tall order for him. It’s gonna be a tough fight for him.”
Cormier also mentioned the size factor between the pair, and how he believes Santos will quickly realize the difficulty of dealing with Jones’ length inside the Octagon:
“I saw them standing face to face the other day, and I thought Santos was a little bigger,” Cormier said. “And he’s not as tall as I thought he was. And I think he’ll realize early how difficult it is to deal with Jones’s length.”
