My last two opponents I fought, Jake O’Brien and Matt Hamill, were both guys who I had to stay aware of their double-leg (takedown) so it didn’t really allow me to unleash the type of striking that I wanted to. Fighting a guy like Brandon Vera, I know he’s not big on the double-leg-takedown, so I will just feel a little more free to flow on my feet and pull the trigger on a lot more things that I’m dying to do.
- Jon Jones says to expect his full arsenal when he fights Brandon Vera
This fight remains really dangerous for Jones. Vera is an underperformer, but he is far from unskilled. If Vera comes to fight and unleashes his striking this could very easily be a loss for Jon. Still, if there is even more diversity to Jones' game than he has shown so far...wow.
