He had better, he almost got KTFOd by Nog in his last fight and he did get KTFOd by Carwin a while back. IMO he has the best jitz in MMA, maybe Werdum can hang, but I doubt it. Nog wasn't just a black belt, he awarded black belts. Mir does actually have good stand up, but JDS...

I'm sick of Jon Jones already too, that shit tonight hurt my feelings. I never liked Rashad, but still, Jones needs to gain 20 pounds and fight HW. He actually has a huge frame.
I mean mir can definetley submit JDS. He submitted nog while rocked, and submitted much bigger guys. JDS isn't big for a heavy weight. Mir's my favorite fighter, but I don't see how he's gonna win. However, I think he has a better chance than against cain.

But all hendo has to do is land once. The key to beating jones is to go after him. I thought rashad would do that but he backed up the whole time. Hendo is fearless and will charge right at jon jones. If Jones beats hendo then idk what is left for jon jones.

HW is what is left for him. Either that or Big Country will lose 30 pounds and gitrdun.

If Jon Jones stays at LHW here are a few ideas I can think of for his future competition.

Chael Sonnen kinda looks like a LHW, as does Anthony Johnson, but I wouldn't want to drain all the other divisions.

Gustafsson is a dark horse in the LHW division.. Surprisingly, he has KO power and he is actually taller than Jones although his reach is 7 and a half inches shorter. His boxing is extremely crisp and clean and among the best in MMA. His Ground game is under rated, not that it is currently any match for that of Jones. Phil Davis did dominate him there, but he has a couple submission victories and decent takedown defense. He also has a speed advantage over Jones.

I wouldn't count Shogun out either, that would be a big mistake. He is a damn warrior, he could work his way to another title shot. When he lost the title, he said that he was rocked from the very beginning by that flying knee, yet he still put on a fight. He also had a poor strategy, going for that leg lock. Look how well he dealt with Machida's range by accurately chasing him down. Jon Jones' range is actually very similar to Machida's, except that it is natural whereas Machida's is based on technique.

Phil Davis is still getting better constantly as well.

I think I'm the only one rooting for Jones. If jones finishes rashad I feel that he won't ever be stopped. Hendo will be the last hope
i was rootin for rashad myself , then got to see a whole in johnny's game. i agree , hendo is about the only hope for that division. (in the very near future)
i am not even sure hendo is fightin for the ufc right now ? i know he came back to shoot for the 205 belt , but i aint heard shit since? ........... oh yea an dont count out guffisten or whatever his name is , just like someone else said here, he is very good , and still young.


Mir should just pull guard on JDS. He can probably submit or sweep him easily.
i used to like frank , then i seen how girly he was when brock beat him, which was still cool till he decided to devote his whole life to brock then he turned gay ....now he's butt buddies with chael sonnen so hes definitely full of air.
that being said he is still one of the best HW's to ever fight.

junior is a new breed , along with anderson, aldo , lyoto, jones, ect... junior will decide where this fight is gonna take place and although he probably wants to take franks arm for revenge , he probably wont let it go to the ground. to me this is very similar to the evans/jones fight, junior should be able to easily knock him out in the first but it very well could go the distance with junior dominating all 5.

Jones completely and utterly dominated evans, every single round. Unanimous victory by a landslide.

All that arrogance by evans in the ring, built up above his right eye :) What a victory for Jones, and hopefully now rashad will shut that flappy arrogant mouth.
well my guess is evans will be the last fighter to ever go the distance with jones. and everybody has to admit that if rashad would have attacked an left his skills at home he woulda had a hell of a chance. jones thought he was anderson and was out there leaving himself wide open and showing off but rashad was scared as hell. (for a good reason)
If he would have just ate a couple of those elbows and went into "no skill mode" jones woulda went to sleep. I am not sayin he should have fought that way , im just sayin that if he would have , he woulda won.

I thought the fight sucked, Jones Vs Evans, in 25 minutes thats the most swinging they could do?
i feel the same kitty. jones, much like silva , should have utilized his skill vs showing it off and evans should have came out swingin in the first round.
not mad at the fighters , just a shitty fight. if i wanted to watch somebody get scratched up for 5 rounds i would have waited for the next gsp fight :mrgreen:

brock lesnar is/was a terrible fighter. he only got the hw belt because of his name and dana realising the potential star power of lesnar. he got an immediate rematch with mir for no good reason, he lsot fair and square. glad hes gone, felt he was making a mockery of the sport, there were guys at HW with much better records and longer streaks that were passed over for title contention for that oaf. BUT i made a shitload of money when he fought cain haha knew he was gonna smash brock.

I'm not a Lesnar fan by any means but fact is he won the belt by beating the champion. He got the shot for beating the #1 contender. Same guy who is fighting for the belt this coming month. Brock Lesnar is legit, albeit one dimensional, but legit. He was a 285 pound Matt Hughes. I knew Cain was a bad match up but I also I thought a big strong wrestler of Carwin's calibur would put a clinic on Lesnar. That didn't quite happen. In the Carwin fight, dude showed the heart of a champion.

And I masturbated to his wife when I was 14, so I have respect for the guy.

He got the rematch for good reason, he beat Mir to a bloody pulp. Literally.
I can't stand Brock Lesnar, seriously can't stand that guy, but he really beat the shit out of Frank Mir.

I totally agree with you. It was all about hype and bullshit. He did not deserve to be in there and I am happy that he is gone.....

i dont think the hype an bullshit was that bad. us true mma fans knew what the dude was about. my ONLY issue with brock an the ufc is how quick he got his title shot. But i think a lot of that had to do with a very small HW division. we are short a bunch of HW's still.

Brock is legit , he can fight a little , but he needs a LOT of work and his body cant handle it. i will give him the tiny bit of props he deserves though.

anybody hear who cain is gonna fight yet ? i will officially quit if they bring in kongo for this one. they should bring fedor in for a one fight deal. on second thought that wouldnt be much different then using kongo.

Brock is done. He's WWE now, and still a fucking prick. Kongo is fighting Big Nog next.

I'm now focused on Jones and Dan Henderson. And Hendo is gonna stalk Jones and take it to him like Lyoto did, I just hope he doesn't get choked standing up.

That's just it, I don't think he'll get "smashed." I am not saying he will win, just saying he won't get smashed like everyone else believes.
