He's lucky he didn't lose a point, because he was going fingers to eyes quite a bit before getting warned. He looked like Koscheck out there with that shit. | ||

At the end of the last round, Jones started clowning around... I didn't care for that. | ||

I'm kind of biased, but I enjoy almost every fight I watch for some weird reason. Luke Rockhold vs Tim Boetsch was short, but good, especially if you love grappling. Jon Jones is always fun to watch, if you want to see a good KO, check out Chris Beal vs Patrick Williams. The Rockhold vs Boetsch fight had a great submission at the end, but also so did Tim Elliott vs Joseph Benavidez. Jessamyn Duke did a really nice Judo trip to counter the body-lock from Bethe Correia in her fight. | ||

UFC is a payper view event meaning it's not free. there are "illegal streams" but then that wouldn't be something the op can post anyway. so if that's what your asking for, you're in the wrong place. if you want a link to the fight card and other information, ufc.com is the main wiki. | ||

I think he was just asking for link to the UFC 172 Wikipedia page so he can look up the results of all the cards and bonuses. Yeah, I'll start putting up the link to the Wikipedia page nowadays, figured I should since we don't necessarily post all of the results in the thread. | ||

I was so amazed at his versatility I'm not saying he shouldn't use his advantages (the hands in the face, the hyper extending knee strikes, the hyper extending locked elbow in the clinch, the shoulder strikes), but I'm saying he needs to be careful with it because aside from the point ramifications in the ring he could really ruin a good fight with a shit eye poke. You fuck up a guys vision in the first couple of minutes with a bad "accidental" eye poke and you have a huge advantage for a pretty substantial amount of time. And I'm not trying to take anything away from him...I think he beats Glover probably 9 out of 10 times, but the last thing the UFC needs is for Jones to start getting a dirty fighter tag. Jones vs Gus rematch is going to be huge, man. My heart cries for Gus, but my brain really says that the champ is going to hold on to this belt for a very, very long time. Jones is just so good and I know the UFC always likes to hype that "this is the best version of <insert name> we've ever seen" but Jones just seems to bring something new every single fight, and uses everything so intelligently. Barring any sort of flash knockout, or some INSANE control on the ground, I just don't see him losing. And if Hendo somehow beats DC...oh jeez, Jones will be champion forever. I feel like Hendo/Jones goes exactly like Glover/Jones, except Hendo gases throwing H-bombs from 88 inches away and missing and gets finished. | ||

I feel like Hendo/Jones goes exactly like Glover/Jones, except Hendo gases throwing H-bombs from 88 inches away and missing and gets finished. I agree and I have repeated myself several times on this matter. The solution is simple: extending your fingers towards an opponents face should be illegal, plain and simple. The arm-extending Jones utilizes is meant to keep his opponents at a distance, therefore extending your FIST towards an opponents face is all that is necessary, and there is nothing wrong with that. There is no other way around this and no other solution. If your fingers gets near an opponents face, an "accidental" eye-poke is bound to happen. It astounds me how common sense escapes the folks at the UFC. Jones's eye-poke versus Gustafsson immediately comes to mind. Gus had Jones in a very tough spot, and that eye-poke, accidental or not (it wasn't, in my opinion), bought Jones some time to recover. Anyway, I have no idea as to who will win the Jones vs Gus rematch. Both of these guys know each other well now that they've gone to war with each other for 25 minutes. I'm leaning towards Gus with his excellent boxing and superior takedown defense. | ||
