"I was very surprised with (Jones’) game, Shogun trained a lot and Jones was able to neutralize [his] game, I think he studied Shogun’s game a lot, so congrats to him. Shogun now needs to go back to Brazil and analyze the fight, see what went wrong and go from there. I think (Jones) has a brilliant future ahead of him, he’s a very young athlete, but in this weight class I think it’s very hard. People don’t seem to be able to keep the title for more than one fight. Everyone wins and then loses the belt so it’s a very tough weight class and there are a lot of great fighters, so we’ll see. He’s a young guy and will stay strong going forward, but Shogun will be able to make a strong comeback, for sure. I think (what went wrong during the fight) was the very first strikes Jones landed on Shogun, that knee and the head kick, may have taken his gas away."

Now this is how a camp should respond. No excuses and giving their opponent the credit he deserves. Many camps should be taking notes...

TweetI agree, thats the most honorable, honest thing I have heard in a long time from an MMA camp. usually multiple excuses. I like this and agree with what they are saying completely. Jones is good, but hes got some tough competition to deal with, plus there are a lot of other fighters that I think will match up with his style better than Shogun could.
