How can a guy that just walked through the best guy in the division be "overhyped"? He wasn't even remotely challenged by the guy most people had in their Top 5 P4P list. That makes no sense.
Actually most of them won their fights coming off the surgery. Trust me dude, Shogun's showing had less to do with HIS knee and more to do with the knees of Jones.
The thing that impressed me the most about Jones tonight is how patient he was. He had Rua hurt badly a couple of times but he didn't rush anything. He just kept the pressure on and wore Rua down completely before finishing him. Where is the weakness? If you were Rashad, how do you attack Jones?
I know. I put a decent amount of time in on this MMA Forum and I'd like to think it's at least "REAL"......
The truth of the matter is that Jones will dwarf almost everyone he fights at 205. But it's not much different than the size advantage Silva would have against GSP at 185.
Jones is HUGE compared to Silva Jones is a freaking Heavyweight basically and Anderson is a comfortable MW.
Silva popped up to 205 to beat Irvin and Griffin so why not Jones? I understood him not wanting to fight Machida for the title, but he's not friends with Jones.
You don't have to. Silva is good enough to move up to beat those guys but he's not good enough to beat the best guy in the division. I have no problem understanding that.
TLC's comments actually made me choose Bones. I was ready to pick shogon. Then TLC while trying to convince everything Bones didnt have actually reminded me everything that he DID have.
the big MMA fights are usually either very boring or one sided beat downs. Rarely do you get a great fight out of a UFC main event.
Another poster on another board put it best. "Who was that fat, out of shape Brazilian in the cage and what did he do with the real Shogun?"
I know. We try so hard to make this a real MMA forum for the little junk-inspector, but apparently our prediction threads aren't nearly as MMA-legit as "whose ding-dong is bigger". If only we all obsessed over fighters' cocks like TLC, this forum would be up there with the greats. :Thumbs:
Hmm was he fat and out of shape at the weigh in? Mustve happened overnight, because it didnt stop you from boasting about how Jones would get beat down.
