Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua says Jon Jones “will get hurt” when his brother’s punches “finds his face”

Murilo “Ninja” Rua, brother of UFC light heavyweight champion, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua has been giving his thoughts on his brothers upcoming clash with Jon Jones later this month at UFC 128 in Newark, New Jersey, explaining the man from New York is in for a world of pain when he gets caught with a flurry of punches.
Speaking via Tatame Magazine, “Ninja” said:
“Jon Jones is a respectful athlete, he’s young, but my brother is the favorite for the experience he has, he’s fought tougher guys than Jones. My brother has proven it, and he’ll win. The guy wants it bad, he has nothing to lose, but the experience can be the differential.”
“He’s one of the toughest fighters on MMA currently, he’s tall and has a great conditioning, he’s rising, so it must be a hell of a good fight. But he’ll get hurt when my brother’s punches finds his face. Jon Jones ain’t Mauricio’s greatest challenge. My brother had had great ones, and it’ll be another fight on his career.”
“Shogun” will return to action after a ten month layoff following knee surgery, the same injury that significantly affected his performances ljust a couple of years ago leading to a loss to Forrest Griffin and a close run fight against Mark Coleman. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
