Lyoto Machida, by process of elimination, has gotten himself a shot at regaining the UFC Light Heavyweight Title a lot sooner than expected, as he faces Jon Jones at UFC 140 this December in place of an injured Rashad Evans. Machida spoke to Tatame.com and talked about what he's expecting from the fight:
"It'll be a strategic bout, he's a guy who studies his opponents and so do I. Our team is a lot focused and anything can happen... It's hard, he's is much versatile and knows a lot of techniques, but we play a similar game. He kicks, I kick, he punches and goes to the ground, I can defend myself and take him down too. Stamina and game plan are things that could define this bout's outcome. Nobody is invincible. We're training for the best, looking for enlarging our body and mind and that's what I'm gonna do."
