UFC 159 Jones vs Sonnen Discussion Thread - eventual SPOILERS

Nelson def. Sonnen Round 2 (kimura choke)

 

Sky Piercing Knee Kicker, himself! Greatest ****ing nickname ever.

 

The very same!

 

Miller/Healy. Just two hard nosed guys.

Very hard noses, those two.

 

Hard to dislike Jim Miller.

 

Nope I havent fella, feel free to link me up though

Point taken, if he went into Muay Thai now he'd be nowt. But Im talking abiut MMA, Im interested to hear what tweaks you would make to his stand up

Like I said before ''Good...for MMA...''

 

Battle of ginger beards.

 

Did Pat steal that round?

EDIT he had a case until the reversal at the end

 

These two are very well matched.

Healy is going to have to gather his bearings between rounds, here.

 

I ****ing love watching Jim Miller fight.

 

Teach him to loosen & rotate the hip fluidly as everything in MT works of good fast and fluid hip rotation. The reason he always looks so awkward with his strikes is his hips are tight and he never fully rotates the hip. That's why the only strike he throws that looks fluid is the straight knee as it's more about hip extension than rotation.

Lots about Diesel Noi in The ATG thread.

 

They look like Moonshiners

 

Good fight.

 

Great fight so far. Gruelling stuff.

1-1.

 

Miller and Healy saving what was a pretty average card
