Lyoto may be smaller size than jones at 6’1 . But he’s insanely skillful and speedy . Sometimes smaller size can give you advantage too especially speed and being explosive .

Well if you remember between rounds his coach said he wants to blitz you after you kick, so fake the kick and throw a 9 or a blu(which I'm guessing is a left or a right or a punch or an elbow) so that's exactly what he did. It did look like a superman punch but he actually faked the kick and as lyota went for the blitz he threw the right hand which made it like a car crash. The beginning of the end.

He got tired and slowed down and bam. After that he was fatigued and saw three Jon jones in front of him. There was zero figuring out lyotos blitz. Lyoto simply is too skilled at striking, hits to fast and hard with combos with amazing foot work and head movement. There’s no figuring out lyoto’s blitz because he isn’t timing it or looking for an opening, he just blitzes when he feels like it because there is nothing you can do to stop it.
