Podcast: Pat Healy, Bryan Caraway, Greg Jackson
By: Sherdog.com Staff
TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to the Sherdog Radio Network Monday for another edition of “Beatdown.” Joining them were UFC 159 luminaries Pat Healy, Bryan Caraway, and Jon Jones’ coach, Greg Jackson.
Read more
The Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., played host to a bizarre night of mixed martial arts action. Healy opened the night on pay-per-view with an upset submission victory over hometown favorite Jim Miller. The former Strikeforce number one contender joined De Santis and Sherwood to talk about his return to the UFC seven years after his Octagon debut. Healy recounts the excitement leading up to the bout, if he felt this was a return or his true debut in the UFC, and what it took to dispatch Miller.
Caraway stepped up to face Johnny Bedford on short notice. “The Ultimate Fighter” alum chats about his decision to take the fight, what it was like facing a friend and former training partner, and what it’s like fighting in the shadow of his girlfriend, fellow UFC fighter Miesha Tate.
Jones was victorious over Chael Sonnen in dominant fashion in the main event of UFC 159. Coach Greg Jackson shares his experience being in the corner of the UFC light heavyweight champion. Jackson discusses the mindset of Jones entering the fight, the game plan, and the grotesque injury to Jones’ foot, which left his toe mangled.
De Santis and Sherwood also took listener calls, emails, and tweets. The guys also take a look at officiating coming out of the UFC 159 event and what can be done to deal with eye injuries more efficiently. Listen to “Beatdown” here

Jon Jones: I Fight for More Than Just the Belt
By: Tristen Critchfield
UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones will attempt to defend his title for the fifth time against Chael Sonnen at UFC 159 on Saturday. While a victory would tie him with Tito Ortiz for most title defenses all-time within the division, the Jackson’s MMA Product said during a recent conference call that he fights for more than just 205-pound gold:
"I definitely fight for more than just the belt. I have two brothers that are in the NFL. What drives me is to not be the lesser brother – not to be the brother who didn't quite make it or the one who needs to borrow money 10 years from now. It drives me to show that a UFC fighter can have the type of success that an NFL player can have if not more. Another thing that drives me is my kids. I can’t let them down. Another thing that drives me is knowing I inspire a lot of people. I get that a lot. It’s something that I have a lot of pride in. That's why I tweet a lot of motivational things and try to be positive. If I quote someone or say something that makes someone better, that means a lot to me to be able change someone's life. I won’t be able to do that if I don’t have a platform. Being a champion means more than having the belt." Read more -
