Jon Jones believes he'll match Lyoto Machida's elusiveness when the two fight at UFC 140 according to fightersonlymagazine.co.uk.

"Lyoto's a pretty crafty guy. I believe that I'm pretty crafty as well. You know, everyone just keeps asking me, 'How are you going to figure out this tough puzzle?" Jones said.

Jones will be making his second title defense against Machida, retaining his title at UFC 135 when he submitted Quinton Jackson via rear naked choke in the fourth round. Machida last fought at UFC 129, knocking out Randy Couture in the second round.

Jones was originally scheduled to fight Rashad Evans but a thumb injury forced Evans out of the fight allowing Machida a shot at reclaiming the light heavyweight title.

"My answer to that is that I feel as if I'm a pretty tough puzzle to figure out. So I really just need to focus on what I need to do to win the fight and let everything take care of itself," Jones said.

As with any of Jones' opponents, Machida will have to adjust to Jones' 84 inch reach. It was this reach that posed a significant problem for Jackson, who was unable to close the distance to land any significant strikes.

UFC 140 is scheduled on December 10, 2011 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario. Jones to defend his UFC light heavyweight belt against Machida in the main event.
