    Dana is using Forrest to build other fighters title runs i.e. Lil Nog and Bones. I feel bad for him because he'll probably sign to fight anyway even though he knows they are such dangerous bouts. In fairness Forrest is one of the best in the division and needs to mix it with the best to remain relevant.

    I made a long post you obviously didnt read it all. Im complaining about the hype he receives, thats all. I just reacted to how many were overstating his abilities and his potential, it just seems to be a all to common theme among mma fans.

    by the way I dont blame you for not reading all of my post, most of it was out of frustration for people jumping on every damn hypetrain leaving the station and not just being patient and waiting for him to really prove himself.

    never wrote he wasnt talented.

    Both of them will get backfisted to death. You want to see the closest thing to Neo in the cage. Get someone with average standup against Jones.

    And for ******s who thinks that Jones needs to prove more things. You need to look at Hammill and Vera. One guy is hard to manhandle, the other guy never looks bad even in losses. Both got scarily sparked. Matsus a good fighter, very durable. Got ****in massacred! Did you see how many elbows he threw from a weird angle? He threw like 10 elbows in 3 seconds. Who does that? Seriously, you guys seen something like that? show me a vid.

    Oh I see now, he wont be able to throw those same elbows to someone like Shogun just because Shogun is a reincarnated Samurai and he never gets taken down.

    If he checks his cardio, Jones might become the biggest star in this sport. Hes a well spoken, ultra talented, dynamic young buck that makes you go, WOw! The way Penn, Silva GSP, Fedor has.

    Bones is probably going to outgrow 205 anyway. I'd like to see him fight Cain Velasquez in a year or 18 months. Long after Brock beats Cain of course....

    These skinny guys have another division them like Silva. However there are the odd few that are meant to stay skinny or lose everything that makes them who they are i.e. Erik Morales.
