I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m not going to disrespect the guy. He has an excellent overall game, incredible athlete. He&#8217;s super young so he can get better in everything else. But his ground in his last fight was a little suspect. He got caught in an armbar by a guy who is not known for having great jiu-jitsu for MMA, even though Vitor&#8217;s a black belt, he&#8217;s not known for having great jiu-jitsu for MMA. And especially getting somebody in the submission off his back, it made things even more unbelievable. Me judging as a technician, as an expert in jiu-jitsu, I don&#8217;t think Jones has the kind of ground to handle a guy with incredible guard. I think I&#8217;m going to work on that with Chael, just work on his guard, pull guard and Chael will submit him off his back.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s obviously a big difference between knowing what needs to be done and actually doing it. Sonnen&#8217;s biggest strengths seem to be in his wrestling and top control. His skill set is a little opposed to what Magalhaes is suggesting, but anything can happen in MMA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After witnessing Vitor Belfort nearly finish Jon Jones by throwing a up a submission attempt from his back at UFC 152, Vinny Magalhaes believes he can properly instruct Chael Sonnen on how to defeat the current UFC light heavyweight champion when the two collide in April of next year.
