Official UFC 172: Jones vs Teixeira Thread

[joeychizzle]

UH VAI MORRER!! UH VAI MORRER!!
Man I hope Teixera knocks Jones' ass down and tkos or subs him.
Knowing how things go though, Jones will likely get the win

Same height as his boy Chuck (6"2).

Somebody's lyin because this is UNDOUBTEDLY more than a 2 inch height difference

okay card. Not too excited about this one.

I'm cheering for Glover, Rumble, and Gomi.

Yea there's not a standout matchup I really want to see on this entire card. If the NBA had some good matchups on tonight I would have probably caught this on a replay

 

[FaTaL]

How?

 

[The G.O.D II]

How?

None of these fighters are exactly the most exciting. I mean Miller is good but hes facing an absolute nobody.

 

[The Infamous]

It's between a decent to pretty good card:

Fili/Holloway (Two great prospects, potential fight of the night. Lack of name recognition though.)
Miller/Medeiros (Miller is pretty exciting and Medeiros is coming of crazy KO of Edwards. Again, lack of name recognition in Medeiros)
Rockhold/Boetsch (One-sided fight, but Boetsch is tough enough to survive. Should be an okay fight.)
Davis/Rumble (Could turn out to be a snoozer, but I see Davis controlling and eventually submitting Rumble on the ground. A Rumble KO is def. possible as well)
Jones/Glover (#1 P4P fighter in the world versus a tough and motivated Glover. Should be a good fight)

Rumble, Miller, Glover, and Jones are exciting. Even Fili, Holloway, and Rockhold are decently exciting.

 

[semtex]

I swear to all things holy if Phil gets in there and lays on Rumble and wins I might be done with the MMA for a bit. I hate that cuddlers can thrive there.

Davis will likely finish him if the fight hits the ground.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Rumble, Miller, Glover, and Jones are exciting. Even Fili, Holloway, and Rockhold are decently exciting.

IMO, when I say exciting, I mean a guy who will have a good, crazy fight no matter who he fights. Guys like Sanchez, Cerrone, Barao are never in boring fights. Rumble and Jones have been in some meh fights. Jones only has good fights when hes either motivated or tested. And I also take into account matchups. Rumble not going to be able to get off against Davis. Same with Glover. He hits hard and is nice on the ground but Jones is going to neutralize him and control the pace. Rockhold should not be matched up with Boestch at this point. I would much rather see him against Mousasi or Jacare.

How?

aint nobody special on that card, the jones fight is intriguing though
