He lost to Hendo both times though...
Yes, I think even out of his prime at that point, his striking skills presented a stylistic challenge for prime Machida.
EDIT: Yeah, I think I remember scoring the first fight against Hendo for Shogun. But Hendo is a one-dimensional fighter and was still able to inflict savage damage on my guy.

Coming off of bad injuries.
I'm impressed by the fact that he was able to bounce back from the injuries, rebut the doubters, and win the belt. I don't think he was in his prime after leaving PRIDE because of the injuries.
Even though the rule changes and ring dimensions weren't massively different, they did impact most of these guys as well. PRIDE had a lot more ways to punish fighters and really pressed fighters not to stall. The fact post prime Rua wound up with the belt for a while (shoulda won the first Machida decision btw) is a huge compliment, but he never looked as good as his PRIDE days. Another note about dude's prime coming and going fast, that whole camp of killers sparred like they were in fights. Dude's probably reduced their primes fighting over stray puppies (literally) as much as they did in actual fights.
Someone turned the puppy fight into a mini comic lol

I'm very interested to see if Jones put together a nice hand game. If he does that
