The light heavyweight gem between Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida is the latest video uploaded on UFC’s Youtube channel.
Following his TKO win against Maurício Rua that resulted in Jon Jones becoming the new light heavyweight champion, the 32-year-old successfully defended his belt against former champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 135. At this point, Jones was on a five-fight winning streak, also beating Brandon Vera (via TKO at UFC on Versus 1), Vladimir Matyushenko (via TKO at UFC on Versus 2), and Ryan Bader (via submission at UFC 126).
Machida on other the hand was coming off a much needed win over Randy Couture. The light heavyweight suffered devastating losses to Maurício Rua (via Knockout at UFC 113) and Quinton Jackson (via split decision at UFC 123) prior to his big win over the former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Champion.
Before dropping the 205-pound belt to Mauricio Rua at UFC 113, Machida was on a strong 16-fight undefeated streak, beating big names such as Rashad Evans (via KO at UFC 98), Thiago Silva (via KO at UFC 94), and Tito Ortiz (via unanimous decision at UFC 84).
Not surprisingly, the two light heavyweights had an unforgettable two-round affair that saw Jon Jones win thanks to a standing guillotine choke. Check out championship bout below:
