When Jon Jones returned to the Octagon at UFC 197<\/a> against Ovince Saint Preux, he admitted that he was gun-shy, and hesitant to take advantage of openings throughout the fight.<\/p>\n

After the fight, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier explained that he believes he would have defeated Jones if he had been able to fight at the event.<\/p>\n

While many agreed with Cormier, Jon Jones’ head coach disagreed believes that Jones would have won the fight. He spoke with Yves Edwards on ‘The Neutral Corner’.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cJon\u2019s one of those guys that fights to the level of his competition,\u201d Jackson said during an appearance on the Sherdog Radio Network\u2019s \u201dThe Neutral Corner\u201d show with Yves Edwards. \u201cWhen the going gets tough he gets going for sure. I\u2019m very confident he would have won that night because he would step up to that level. He\u2019s one of those guys if you push him really hard he will push back.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, we\u2019d done so much work for Daniel, I think he still would have won that night. If you push him hard, that almost wakes him up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe night of [UFC 197] I was a little, I wouldn\u2019t say disappointed, but I think we should have opened up more,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cI\u2019m very hard on myself because I feel it\u2019s my responsibility to prepare the fighter the right way. Sometimes people might misinterpret what I feel on the fighter, but it\u2019s actually on myself. I needed to be a little bit more creative on how I prepared him for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of those mistakes on my part, I was pretty happy with the performance overall. I think that said, he just loosened up and we\u2019ll be really ready to go for DC once it\u2019s time.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The pair will fight at UFC 200<\/a> in a highly anticipated rematch on July 9th. How do you see the fight playing out?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
