Awesome performance by Jones. He'll be up with GSP and Anderson Silva after a few more performances like that. Shogun looked like ****. That was the Rua of the Coleman and Griffin fights, not Machida fights or PRIDE.
Card? Pshh like 30-25 after 3 if you want to really push it? The last two if they went the distance would of been 10-8s
You could see right away how Rua couldn't effectively close the distance. Jones height and reach of his right hand effectively worked to out distance Shoguns kicks. Next generation of fighter are going to be yesterdays average heavy fighting at light heavy.

"believe in yourself; believe in your heart. dreams come true. that's an awfully soft-spoken and childlike interview in contrast with the brutality he just dished out. :yep it sounds like his voice is cracking a bit. he also says there is an afterparty for charity, and that he will be giving away free K-swiss. K-Swiss is a type of shoe, apparently. I had to Google it (thought it was cheese). Shogun is humble in defeat, of course.
Damn! Nobody's ever done that to Assuncao, and he's been matched tough. For a mixed martial artist, Koch has some nice boxing out of that southpaw stance. What a perfect counter hook. Why the hell was that good fight buried on the non-TV preliminary card? It wouldn't have even been shown if there wasn't extra time. Ugh. I hate Zuffa.
Now that would make up for beating up Shogun Been a Jones fan all along, just the sport is going in a min max direction. He's got such a ridiculous frame he really really doesn't need to pass guard. His right cross reach is as long as most guys leg kicks. He looks like a foot taller than everyone he fights. Its like watching one of those kids that got held back a year in grade school.
