Jon "Bones" Jones vs. "Suga" Rashad Evans - FINAL PREDICTIONS...

jones would get absolutely destroyed by the reem. Complety uninteresting fight

 

You're exactly right about Hominick. He could have finished that fight in the 3rd but he didn't push it. And I'm not sure why he thought he would get the decision.

He's relatively young but he might want to hang it up. His face can't take the pounding. He looked terrible after the Aldo fight and again tonight.

And how about Matt Brown. Wonderboy landed some shots and Brown was dead tired. But Brown gutted it out and really sliced up Thompson's face on the ground.

I'm glad to see someone else appreciated Jones display of skill. I'm like everyone else. I was hoping for a highlight finish, but you have to be a little in awe of Jones ability to absolutely discourage top guys like this. Rashad is a great fighter and he looked ordinary. He looked as unable to pull the trigger as Rampage Jackson.

 

Something tells me we will never see Overeem fight in the United States again.

 

yeah but rashad is not exactly a hard guy to doscourage. Even against Forrest he was doing fuck all for almost 3 round before exploding with gnp and stopping Forrest.

 

Well, sure Jones would get beaten by the 260 lbs juiced-up version of Overeem.

But if Overeem was clean, Jones destroys him.

 

yeah, but if my mother had balls she'd be my dad

 

So if he was not doing well and then exploded, wouldn't be the exact opposite of being "discouraged"?

 

He was probably losing to Liddell as well before knocking him out. But he wasn't discouraged, nor did he look like a guy trying to survive, against either of them. But he did against Jones.

Hell, I'm not going to try to bolster Rashad Evans status. The dude's record speaks for itself. He's a top guy and he looked ordinary.

Jones makes everyone look that way.

 

Well, Overeem USED to be at 205 and likely clean.

Did your Mom USED to have balls?

If so, I get the analogy.

Either way, Jones is the more skilled fighter and far better P4P.

 

don't think so, think he was a bit lucky gainst forrest. Would have think the same thing if he had caught and koed Jones with one of these hail mary right he was throwing

 

Exactly, don't forget about his fight with Shogun. I don't think you can name another fighter ever that manhandled Shogun like that. I was practically in shock during that fight.

 

yeah, but overeem also used to weight less than 10 pounds .

and I disagree with the bolded part,

 

Those hail mary rights were practically non-existent in the 4th and 5th rounds. And if he did throw anything, it was from so far away it meant shit. He was too afraid of the elbows. He just wanted to survive tonight. He has never fought that way.

 

fair point, but Jones never had to pass an unschceduled drug test afaik

 

I tought Jones looked waay better in the Shogun fight than tonight, looked a bit pedestrian tonight imo

 

I have no idea what that means.

 

Not sure why we are even talking about Jones the 205 champion fighting Overeem a HW contender who just lost a UFC title shot due to PED's. Really a very mythical matchup to say the least.

 

no , that's why I used afaik:scratcher:

 

Birth weight?

 

Could be. I agree with you about Overeem-Jones.. Who cares?

Why is everyone in such a rush to see Jones move up to HW? Let him dominate 205 for a few years.

 

I ain't, I think he'll be average at best at hw

 

Agreed, I'm begining to think SD should be banned. One comment in a while is funny, doing it after every event is tiresome, especially since his ''discussion'' drags on for pages

 

I'm not sold he'd be a great HW either.

I think he could be. His reach is amazing even for a HW. And I guess he walks around close to 230 so the idea of of bulking up to 245-250 isn't absurd.

But how does he respond when he's not throwing guys around in the clinch?

Personally I'm in no hurry to see a young fighter move up like that. Let him reign at 205 even if the challenges are limited.

 

And he didn't even actually see the fight.

I honestly don't understand why he can't let it go. He isn't going to single-handedly bring down MMA by trolling on a lightly used forum.
