Entering the first fight between Jones and Machida, many believed that Machida may hold the grappling advantage due to his time with Anderson Silva and being a BJJ Black Belt under Walter Broca. However, following the fight, it was clear that didn't matter.
Jones was able to use his strength and reach advantage to lock in one of the nastiest standing guillotine chokes I've ever seen that nearly had Machida picked up off the ground.
Machida may have the better pure BJJ, but when it comes to all around grappling, Jones is the better man.
