Gus got beat. That was his path.......... NTM he let a gay man named Phil Davis beat him

Rumble is the next person that should have his shot after he beats up Gus.

I will pray for jon jones - -he has not faced a nikka like Ruble period.
maaan hop off rumbles nuts...lmao at praying for the best fighter in the world against a motherfukker who was choked the fukked out by this dude...

IDK something has to happen. Neither one of these guys has anything on the horizon outside Gus and Werdum respectably. And Cain is getting up there and might not be around with all these injuries hes accumulating

If anything, I'd probably see a Jones/Weidman superfight happening before any other one. Unlike most of the other suggested, those two are actually very close in size when not training. Plus, I don't doubt that Weidman could fight at 205 without too much difficulty (even though some of his wrestling tricks probably wouldn't work at that weight class). If, say, MMA gets sanctioned in New York State any time soon, I don't doubt that Silva and Dana would put a lot of thought into putting on a Jones/Weidman superfight in New York City.

Just a thought. :yeshrug:

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.
As a big Floyd fan its funny that his hate actually seemed stronger before he beat women :heh: it feels like the Floyd hate now is trolling hate of hows he's boring and ducking pac ( both of which are :snoop: ) Floyd also feels like he's fought every type of fighter ever in history while jones still has some interesting type of match ups to see if maybe there is some formula to beat him ( there isn't to me but it takes awhile before people will realize Ohh he's just that good ) Floyd would have to fight a cyborg from the future who combines all the greatest boxers fighting styles one handed for me to be :patrice:

anything can happen.

Rumble is only getting better and learning ( just like each fighter)
Plus will be at a less reach disadvantage than most of jones opponents.
Plus one of the only ways you can probably beat Jones is - knock him out 1 or 2 punches and Rumble can do that.


but in light heavy weight, I'm only a fan of Jon Jones aka the pfp #1, and #1 LHW of all time. #2 best fighter of all time (or #3)

I need to stop rooting for the underdogs :snoop: and I need to stop investing so much emotion in these fights :mjcry: Jones is something special. Makes amateurs of masters.

Jones is making the argument for GOAT more difficult . All he has to do if defeat the winner of Gus vs Rumble and he stands alone as the greatest LHW in MMA history. I personally feel he owns that distinction as GOAT LHW now.

He's been GOAT at 205 for a long time. Who else is remotely close to him in that regard?
