That's all well and good, but Scurla claimed that Silva would "humiliate" Jones.

He went on to write this:

To which I responded:

Why wouldn't he just throw him down to the ground, where Jones' biggest strengths play right into Anderson's biggest weaknesses?

Which is it? Is Jones going to choose to stand in front of Anderson and wait for Silva to land something, or is Anderson going to be able to stuff Jones' takedowns when decorated wrestlers twice his size get thrown around like children?

Honestly, what is going to stop Jones from taking the Sonnen gameplan, and adding vicious fight-ending elbows to it?

To which scurla didn't deign to provide a response.

I genuinely would like to know why it's a given that Anderson "humiliates" Jones, and why Jones is unable to take Anderson down when he ragdolls guys like Hamill, Bader, Shogun and Machida.

Well you have to understand that Scruey gets a bit over-excited.

[PIRA]

WTF has Jones got to do with he weigh in?

Bash scurla in the lounge.

Overeem looked more cut up tonight than at the K1 tourney last year.

[Goro]

Brock looks refreshed.

Brock's scar is probably below the beltline fellas.

Didn't Jones just strangle a BJJ black belt and leave his corpse on the cage floor? Jones has said that he still has a lot to learn when it comes to Jiu Jitsu. That doesn't mean that he's clueless when it comes to the submission game. His long arms are just as much of an advantage as they are a disadvantage. Jones only has one less career submission victory than Silva, and he's had two submission wins in a row and against high-level opposition.

Jesus fucking christ. Overeem got even more huge. Doesn't mean anything unless he has been working his TDD non stop. Even if he has, Lesnar being so huge and especially wide will make it very difficult. Maybe he'll get lucky and get a knee in there or lock in the guillotine. I'd like to see Overeem win, but he'll have a lot of prove in order to do it.

[EL BULLY]

The recent bout of Diver' seems to have aged Brock. He doesn't look the same.

[ufoalf]

Both are hugely overrated. Its a toss up between 2 baddies that won't go past first round. Feed the winner to Valesquez to warm up before rematch for the title.
