Cruz could never make 125 though, and also he's not got a cat in hell's chance of picking up the LW belt. So he's still 2 weight at best.
Why would I "hate" a Dutch kickboxer? I have no feelings about the guy whatsoever in any way, so detached from him. In a purely objective assessment, I think he is a dangerous fighter but a very flawed one, and bona fide top guys like Bones and Cigano will master him. Kicking Brock in the stomach does not make you a great heavyweight.
1. Jose Aldo 2. Jon Jones 3. George St. Pierre 4. Anderson Silva 5. Fedor --- imo still the goat ever
Cruz could win title's @135 , 45 and 55 , its not beyond the realms of possibility , he walks around @160 , you just never know He has held title's in other org's at all of the above weight classes
When was the last time he was beaten? He HASNT been beaten since he's Ubered up He's beaten THEE best stand up guys in the game, then went on and beaten arguably THEE best ground guy in the game. He came to UFC to face a guy many picked to take him down and beat him up - atsch - but at the time it wasnt a joke - many thought Brock would be too powerful and brutal on the ground Alistair's fighting the one guy in the UFC who has the best shot at beating him - Cigano is a wonderful fighter. But he's limited to his hands. Overeem has so many more ways to win Overeem is a DEVASTATING and Complete fighter
:thumbsup exactly, overeem k-1 background to go along with his improved bjj will be a ***** to handle against anybody especially against a light heavyweight coming up in JJ. :deal
you're underestimating rashad evans. Since coming back from injury, dude ain't messing around with his stand up no more. He's concentrating more on taking his opponent down and grounding and pounding their ass. Dominated ortiz-rampage and young gun phil davis. It ain't gonna be a cakewalk for jon jones comes april 21:deal like i said i wouldn't be surprise if evans ends up winning.
And like I said, you're insane. nut:nut Rashad has NOTHING for Jones. He is VASTLY inferior in EVERY way. Bookmark this and we'll come back to it after Bones toys with Rashad then knocks him the **** out in the 1st round. :good
Overeem is a flawed fighter with a **** heavyweight pedigree. Cigano will crack his jaw and end him, and any heavyweight with the brains to wait til he's tired will also defeat him. Bones has brains. Next. :hi:
Bones is not a heavyweight...Bones had trouble taking Rampage down...Bones is not a K1 level striker...
Don't be dense. When Jones fights at heavyweight, he'll be 6ft 4in, 84in reach, and probably 240lbs, with speed, cardio, skills and variety that no-one else can match. He'll torch a stamina-shorn clubber like Overeem. Overeem is the most overrated fighter in MMA, a title which he took from Brock Lesnar by kicking him in the belly a couple of times.
