I just watched the fight... Jon Jones is the best at the moment.
He has been training mma since the beginning. All these older guys have been doing karate, kickboxing, muay thai in the beginning and then try to put it in mma.
But if you train only mma from the beginning we get fighters like jon jones, complete packages. I think mma will be a force to reckon in 10 years with very talented athletes and fighters like jon jones.
Machida lost honorobly, it would've been embarrasing for him to tap out. He went out like a true warrior he is, win or die trying attitude. He didn't lose anything but the fight, and it can happend to anybody. But losing your pride is much worse than losing the fight or losing your health.
Jon Jones is the best.
