It might have been boring to you, but it lived up to everything I thought it would be. The undercard had good matchups like usual, but lots of people tend to overlook it. - -

Congratulations Nazgul! Damn I think now is time for Shad to jump down to MW.

It's the same with Rampage. They all know that they need to pressure Jon Jones but it's so hard for them to get inside the reach, and when they do they get clinched and elbowed. No chance and overwhelming control.

Jones vs. Cain.

Hopefully one day Silva can fight him too. o;
You really have to bulldoze Jones to have a chance right from the start. Silva's getting too old by this point unless it happens in like the next year
Which sucks because he still has the other belt so the likelihood of the super fight wouldn't happen. x-x

how are you guys getting 30-27 in a 5 round fight.. LOL

a few pages behind, perhaps?

Well, after finally watching this fight, I feel confident about my past and current opinion that Machida is really the only guy who can really fight on somewhat equal terms as Jones. No one has an advantage in striking or grappling against Jones, But I think Machida can still out-Strike him on a good day. For this division, that's the only fight I really want to see in the future, unless Anderson Silva is going to give it a shot.

lol.... look how cockily he dismantled rashad! lol

You do realise that he would the same reach advantage on most the HW division aswell, right?
And about Gustafsson, it's not about him having a higher chance of winning really, I'm speaking purely about styles

The thing about Jones that's sad to me is that because he hasn't been properly challenged yet, we could very well not have seen just how good he is/can become, I just want a fighter that won't fall into the same trap that EVERY single other fighter Jones has fought so far has done

Only challenge left for Jon at LHW is Anderson Silva but Anderson will never move up again so it's moot.

Yeah I think Gustafsson would be fun. He moves really well and if he could avoid the takedowns of Jones it would be a good standup fight.

Well when that trap is genetics it's kind of hard not to fall into it vs a 205er with 84.5in reach....
|
lhw division is dead.......
|
The only people with a shot of even giving JJ a good fight....... JDS and the spider.
|
anyone left for jones at lhw? dunno. gustaff is being tossed around, but it would be a shit fight b/c everything gust does jones does better. id love anderson silva vs jones. after the chael fight its a possibility. but i feel like jones would throw silva around. i would like to see lyoto vs jones agains, but that's about it.
also, if couture came out of retirement i'd love to see that.
i wouldn't mind seeing vitor go up and face him as well.
oh well, dan henderson if you can beat jones i'll lose my fucking mind. but i don't thin,k you can.
