Educ8d Degener8 · 09-24-11, 11:02 PM

Woohoo... that cheers me up a bit...

And even though it cost me a few bucks... Joe Warren getting lit up by mini-Lombard is priceless...

Good to know Jones won.

Joe Rogan pointed out something that may just be of significance. Possibly Jon Jones weakness is his legs. His legs are like toothpicks. If a fighter utilizes their kicking game and puts a hurtin on Jones legs that could be his "achilles heal" It's possible. nobody has been able to find a way to beat Jones now. His reach is his biggest gift. Also his lanky body combined with quickness makes him almost untouchable. Tonight he had Rampage chasing him throughout the octagon then he would capitalize on any miscue Jackson made. Jones is a very tactical fighter. Watching him during a fight is like watching a doctor in surgery. I think Rashad Evans could be the one to defeat Jones. Can't wait to see the rematch.

Rogan was obsessed with the leg-kicks again tonight! Was like Shogun vs Machida all over again!

The beatdown Jones is going to put on Rashad is going to be hilarious!

Yeah I liked how did that, but do you think Rampage was maybe looking for a way out which might of helped?

I'll watch again but on the first take it didn't look like it. I only say that because where Bones placed his right hand on the initial choke "attempt." He was practically begging Rampage to counter by pulling the hand down and then how fast Jones went palm to palm for the bulldog makes me think it was a setup the whole way.

why do people talk about Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans being a rematch?? They have never fought...

Your right. They haven't fought each other yet. I guess it's because they have a history. It's a well anticipated matchup and I think Rashad can beat Jones. If not beat him at least be competitive. Which no one else has been able to do.

I think it will be his toughest test yet, but he will beat the crap out of him just like the others. I dont think anyone will challenge him in LHW, he has to make the jump up to heavyweight, or Anderson Silva has to make the jump. Silva vs Jones would be even bigger than Silva vs GSP IMO...such similar styles, and extremely exciting.

Now that's a fight they need to make happen. Jon Jones vs Anderson Silva.

I wonder how Anderson Silva feels about not being Anderson Silva anymore.

Poppa Catfish · 09-25-11, 07:48 AM

What?

Das Jax · 09-25-11, 12:55 PM

As in, his role as reigning pseudo-mystical fighting champ has been taken over. He's clearly been eclipsed.

Poppa Catfish · 09-25-11, 08:31 PM

Great thing about living the insulated life, you don't pick up on those kind of things, you remain the pseudo-mystical fighting champ in your mind for years and years and years. Long past you actually being the pseudo mystical fighting champ.

i disagreed with nunyabiness on vila`s stand-up..in the two videos i watched,he exhibited average stand-up and basically got his k.o.`s via g&p......

well,i was wrong....he smoked warren(with extreme prejudice...lol)..........obviously,two fights wasn`t an appropriate sample size.....

....my bad...

yep, like an idiot I had warren in almost every parlay, totally f'd me....

But like ill said, the next best outcome to losing those was seeing warren laid the fuckk out on the canvas like that
