Jon Jones’ Coach Expects Better Performance Against Cormier at UFC 200

Jon Jones’ coach Mike Winkeljohn spoke with MMAjunkie about Jones’ fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200. Some highlights are below:

On planning for the fight: “We’ve already got the game plan put together – now it’s almost easier in some ways, because we continue working it.”

On Jones being more prepared for Cormier than Ovince Saint Preux: “We’ve been training for it for a while, so I think it’s going to be an easier fight for Jon.”

On the preparation for the fight: “It’s different things. Overall game plan, we know we can win here, and you get more detailed on the tactics as you get closer and closer to it, and you find out that works, that doesn’t work. So you start fine-tuning. But almost immediately, you put together an overall strategy, and you start fine-tuning the closer you get.”

On how he thinks it’ll go down: “(Jones) is going to hit him with some really, really, really hard elbows.”
