Great fight. Close fight. Jones looking vulnerable..

Great fight. Close fight. Jones looking vulnerable..

I think Jones needs to utilize his wrestling throughout the fight. The last couple of fights I think he has tried to prove a point and strike with strikers and forgetting this is mixed martial arts not just kickboxing. His wrestling dominance is what opens up a lot of things in his striking. I'd like to see more take down attempts throughout the fight and go for some of that brutal GnP and/or submission attempts.

I was expecting that tonight after the Santos fight, but Reyes was great, and Jones looked mortal. That said he has so much heart and grit, he always finishes strong when pushed. That heart is still 100%..

+1 He knows when to turn it up.
