22 year old Jon Jones is a scary fighter. Unpredictable, athletic, explosive...the guy is an exciting fighter. Sunday night was no different as he laid a beating on Brandon "The Truth" Vera. The truth is, Vera was in over his head. Jones landed a HUGE elbow after posturing up in Vera's guard. You could hear the sound of impact on the television broadcast - that's a heavy shot. Brandon immediately clutched his face and rolled over. It wasn't long until the fight was called. Vera's management issued a statement saying that Brandon sustained three - count them 3 - fractures to his right cheek bone.
Ouch. That's some big time damage from one elbow. Jones' elbows looked very dangerous in his disqualification loss against Matt Hamill and this just confirms that observation. If Jon Jones takes you down, which he probably will, you better get back to your feet or tie him up quick. If not, you might be eating through a straw for six to eight weeks.
