On July 29, in the main event of UFC 214, light heavyweight great Jon Jones will attempt to reclaim the title he once guarded so ferociously when he takes on the reigning champ and his biggest rival, Daniel Cormier.<\/p>\n

In advance of this fight, Jones’ striking coach<\/a> Mike Winkeljohn says that Jones \u2013 who has always been an innovator when it comes to technique \u2013 is still adding new weapons to his arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Jones]\u2019s coming in with a smile on his face,” Winkeljohn said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour (via MMAFighting.com)<\/a>. “I\u2019m going to tell you what, Jon\u2019s coming in and he\u2019s finding new ways to hit people with elbows. He keeps bringing them real close to people\u2019s faces and then just stopping with a smile, and continuing on with the process. So he\u2019s got some new things that are even meaner for Daniel this fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While there was some debate as to whether Jones deserved an immediate title shot after his long layoff and various personal troubles<\/a>, Winkeljohn then explained that he’s glad his fighter got the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI love that he’s fighting for the belt,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think he had any need for a tune-up fight to fight Daniel Cormier. I think as much as I do respect Daniel, I think this is a good fight for Jon, because the first time Daniel couldn\u2019t take him down. Jon was able to take him down. Jon was able to beat him everywhere, and I think that plays into our favor with this fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can expand on that and change some things that Daniel will try, so that he fails once again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Finally, Winkeljohn assured that the once troubled Jones is now on the\u00a0up-and-up.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s on the straight and narrow,” he said. “I would say Jon Jones, nobody beats Jon Jones but himself. And he\u2019s been focused in training camp and through last week on the right things. So with that being said, should be a great fight for Jon.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Jon Jones will reclaim light heavyweight gold at UFC 214?<\/p>\n
