If Jones loses, expect it to be by submission. Jones is a Greg Jackson fighter; he will only stand with Shogun long enough to take him down.
Machida was every bit as dominant against Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva as Bones Jones was against inferior fighters like Bonnar, Hamill and Bader.
The fans are gonna make me route against Jones now. I like him too that sucks. I hate when the fans ruin a fighter for me.
He also struggled against Penn and Greco, had trouble with Sokoudjou, and was nearly submitted by Tito.
Aren't you the guy that believes that a fighter can't be considered very good until he has won the title and defended it?
Maybe not struggled, but certainly had a tougher time than he should have against a severely bloated lightweight.
Jones does look special but we have zero idea what his chin's like and how he's going to deal with the 205 lb GOAT. There's a lot questions Jones has to answer.
No but you obviously are the guy that can't read. I merely said that you guys annoint fighters as the "future" and "next big thing" WAY TOO fast and I reserve judgement, thats all. If he beats Shogun then I'll buy the hype. Until then I'm not gonna suck his dick like you. Is that so hard to understand. We have seen it ad nauseum, Machida being one of the most resent. Belfort being the first. Lesnar, Vera, Arlovsky, Kimbo, Duffee, the list changes everyday and its always the samething, this guy, that guy is so ****in great nobody will beat him blah blah blah and then next thing you know they aren't even in the UFC or are gatekeepers. I just don't want to buy into it until it is real.
You, Rob can feel free to drop to your knees at the first sign of unzipping you want too though. I'm not saying being a blazing homo is wrong, its just not for me thats all.
