Jon Jones says he’s seen a lot of holes he can exploit in the game of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson

UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has been giving his thoughts on his upcoming UFC 135 clash with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on September 24^th in Denver, Colorado, explaining after watching the Memphis native in action just recently he feels there are plenty of holes he can exploit on the night.
Speaking via MMAJunkie.com, Jones said:

“Definitely; I liked what I saw. I saw a lot of things that I can exploit in Rampage’s game. The obvious difference is in the way we fought Hamill. I fought Hamill and I was dominating the fight in the first minutes of the fight. ‘Rampage’ had a very competitive fight match with Matt. So that was something I took into consideration right away.”

“I think Hamill was timid. I don’t know if he really came to win. He shot a lot of half-shots. He did a lot of attempts. There’s a difference between really trying for a takedown and attempting a takedown. Even though trying and attempting kind of go hand and hand, there’s a difference there. He went for an attempt but never really tried to take Rampage down and really gave it his all to finish the takedown. So my respect for Rampage has really been re-established as him being a fighter, not only an actor.”

“Rampage hits you with one of his punches, you’ll be in a lot of trouble. I think Rampage is aware of the fact that he’s living a good life, he’s getting a little bit older, (and) maybe his passion, hunger, drive, determination – it could be suffering. I’m not saying it has, but it’s a possibility. I think he fights that way. He’s smart. He knows when to conserve his energy and when to explode if necessary.”

“He chooses shots wisely. He’s not the 23-year-old he used to be in those PRIDE days when he could swing for the fences every round. And he’s an explosive athlete. Explosive athletes usually don’t have the best cardio. When you’re an explosive athlete and getting old, it’s an interesting dynamic to deal with. There’s a lot of other things I’ll be able to use to my advantage when the fight comes.”

The two men have been officially announced as meeting on the UFC 135 card on September 24^th in Denver, Colorado. The big question heading into this one is can Jackson find an answer for the speed and athleticism possessed by the champion and land one of those killer punches that have stopped so many people over the years?
