whenever the presser was ........not sure but very recent jones looks pissed off and slightly embarassed
I saw this a couple days ago: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yey64rZTl8w[/ame] It looks like the entire press conference is up on youtube, if anyone is interested.
Rampage is a natural when it comes to entertainment. See how he realizes Jones doesn't want to make eye contact with the stare down. Jackson immediately realizes that there is no entertainment value, so he does something to create a better moment.
Most charismatic fighter in MMA no doubt. Was shocked to learn he is on 33 though, he does have a lot of miles on the clock. Maybe is he goes back to the good ole brawl n wrestle he may add a few more
I think the Rampage that defeated Dan Henderson for the UFC title would have been a tough match-up for Jones. I just don't know if Rampage has that in him anymore.
I'm pulling for Rampage. Jones is talented, but a more experienced fighter can always find a way to win. Styles make fights, and I will be a believer when Jones beats guys like Rampage, Evans, Machida, and the like.. It won't be easy.
Well, "owning" him in a staredown probably won't be much consolation for Jones raping him in the cage.
Has hasnt really looked sharp since then. The Forrest fight seems to have taken something away from him, maybe the desire. Wasnt that around the time he fired Juanito Ibarra too?
Well think about who he looked sharp against before that; Marvin Eastman, a Chuck Liddell soon to be proven shot, and a natural MW that gave him hell and who I actually gave three of the rounds in their fight. If anything he's been falling apart slowly because of some of the vicious ass whoopings he's taken, most notably those inflicted by Chute Boxe.
Rampage is one of my favorite fighters, but if the same Rampage that came to meet Rashad shows up to fight Jones then Rampage is going to get his teeth kicked in. :conf :hop
Oh no, that wasn't an elite fighter at all. Ya know, he was out-of-shape, lethargic, injured, didn't have a good breakfast, was struck with dengue fever, etc. etc.:roll:
