Been saying for ages that Bader couldn't beat Jones. What a weird ass angle to still get that guillotine secured... War Bones!
And LOOOOOOOOOOOL @ Rashad ducking fighting anyone for months while Rua was injured and then injuring himself. Good luck payin' the bills, Rashad :p
As for Bones vs. Rua, I call Rua by TKO, but with Jones' wrestling, I'm not so sure... |

| I hope Shogun makes him go limp. Jones is exciting at times, but he's just winning with vastly superior physical prowess and athleticism. I'm always all for the master humbling the savant. |

60% of what Jones does is technique. That's what's so scary about him. Sure, he's fucking tall and really strong, but anyone who can do those crazy moves making them up on the fly has superior technique to everyone around him. |

He has UFC technique and world domination physical gifts. I'm not saying he should change his name to 'Marcus,' just that he would need another few years to get to this level without a 12-foot reach and the quick-twitch of a ing snow leopard on steroids.
I'd much rather watch him than watch Rich Franklin (hence, post), but I still like seeing years of perfected mechanics and truly elite preparation (including making weight more than once in a while) reigning supreme. |

| Fully understood and agreed. ;) |

| Rich Franklin is the UFC equivalent of the San Antonio Spurs...if they only won 46 games per year. |

| . That really looked like we were going to see a long battle. Vitor looked like he actually had his number, and then BAM. What the ?! :stongue: :eyes: |
|

Damn. I wish that could have kept going. Hell, Vitor was winning. First time I've seen somebody refuse to play Silva's game. :(
Really a shame it had to end so early with one unexpected kick. |

| Unbelievable. Anderson is no joke, despite how everyone feels about him. I hope the GSP fight comes to fruition! |
