People believed the hype man. It's like Floyd at this point , people don't like jones so
Look for ways to rationalize why the underdog going to beat him like its a fairytale sports movie . Jones earned my respect his last few fights , especially embracing the heel role this fight
The way jones did my boy rampage :mjcry:

Yep, gotta give him props & realize his greatness & yes your comparison to floyd is spot on but the floyd hate is way stronger at this point. Gus may have a chance if they fight again but gus has a lot of cardio problems & honestly his cardio cost him the belt the first time. It won't happen in 2015 but maybe in '16 he can move up to HW because honestly from a viewership standpoint I don't wanna see jones fight anyone in else in his division after the gus rematch.

Don't see this happening. Cain could probably cut to about 220-225 if needed (I heard that he doesn't really cut for fights), but Jones looks like a fatass at 225-230, so I'm not exactly sure if that'll work out. It's a lot like the Silva/GSP superfight, which wasn't ever going to happen largely because Silva is just way bigger than GSP ever was.

He could easily bulk up muscle mass. IDK about his chicken legs tho

You really just gonna post a highlight video from 5 years ago of Rumble beating on cans. I said he has good power. But to say hes hand speed is faster then DC or Gus is ridiculous. You will see later this month

that's a 2014 highlight? again you're saying crazy shyt

Gus throws more combos/strike, but Rumble is lightening quick with hands and feet. Gus will use the distance and might catch Rumble or use non-strikes to finish him. But Rumble can easily end Gus's night.

99% of men would of tapped when vitor had him in that armbar. :wow:



you are the biggest fukkboi ive seen on this site. hop off jones dikk for a second. wasteman thinks anybody who says a bad word against jones is white. i didnt know what sherdog was until you told me about it. and you got homer simpson in your avatar. only white boy i see is you. overcompensating much? negged

Trust me its one of the stupidest things about this site, c00n this, c00n that, any comment no matter how unoffensive it is some idiot will say ''you must be white''

True. But even while Jones was getting the shyt boxed out of him, he still won using elbows and high kicks. I just think if Gus was going to beat him, that was the time.

This. The gap between Jones and Gus's hands isn't as wide anymore. They're still not close but it's not such a big advantage as before. Especially since Jones will have months to continue to improve in that area if the rematch is to be scheduled
Jones for some reason loves to fight to his opponent's strengths which is why I think he barely tried fighting from a distance and took it straight to a clinch.
Yeah I noticed that, he likes a fight to their strength and demoralize them. Machida was the only one who made him chill
