The way he applied it was different in using his upper body as a leverage point instead of just his arms.
Matty makes a nice gatekeeper for the top ten. He could still make waves in Bellator. Give King Mo at least one name opponent. lol j/k
He used his legs (the way it's supposed to be done), that's why Vlad didn't tap until Bader adjusted his half guard. The only real difference was that Vlads arm was on the same side of Baders body, instead of the opposite side like in most arm-in guillotines.
The good thing about Jones' feud with Sonnen is that it will bring out his character a bit more. I thought the first episode of this season's TUF was great. It was more like an episode of 24/7 than an episode of TUF. I hope the rest of the season is as good.
