Official UFC on FOX: Gustafsson vs Rumble Thread (Sat, Jan. 24)

[The G.O.D II]

The second round was the only time cormier did that, but he won that round in all facets, in every other round when they clinched jones got the better of him


It's better to get hit with punches in the clinch where on the inside you can't generate full power, that's why jones could take the shots

jones only been rocked by Machida and gus, I guarantee if fought gus again he would dirty box him like he did glover

Its possible to get KO'd from the clinch. Carwin destroyed Mir that way. Silva almost got knocked by Weidman in the second round. You don't want a guy like Rumble in your wheelhouse. Its best to keep him at distance and hope he tires out in the later rounds

Two different scenarios, jon jones dirty boxing clinch game is different the way he is approaching
also jones would be the one imposing his size on rumble

frank mir doesn't know to in fight for one

running away from rumble is not a good game plan, when he can land an over hand right at full power, offense is the best defense

Silva, got hit in the temple, yet he still wasn't finished

@krackdagawd you didn't watch ufc? Anthony johnson was njcaa wrestling champ. That counts as usa wrestling right?

I'm a casual fan, I don't really follow mma like that but yes NCAA is USA Wrestling

I've only been following it a bit more recently because a lot of mma fighters/wrestlers do their strength and conditioning at the gym I go to. It's connected to my son's wrestling school and a renzo gracie bjj so a lot of ufc/bellator guys come through.

After spida lost I lost all hope & just accepted it

as far as being hit with big shots

all this talk about jones needing to be on the outside, the said the same thing about cormier, he needs to keep him on the outside, etc

jones always finishes his fights on the inside, he's more dangerous at close range because of his elbows and knees, he uses his outside attacks to gauge distance, but he always ends up fighting on the inside, and all his finishes are from the inside

3370, member: 5695"]Jones is going to beat Rumble. However, Cain would finish Jones.

Stop it slime ,if jj moves up cain would get that work[/QUOTE]

Cain would smash Jones, he would break him.

 

[Strapped]

A j's cardiovascular is suspect & jones will wear him down.unless he's training with 9milli

 

[The Infamous]

Gus a fraud? He's still a top 4 LHW and would smash most of the division.

Hes not bullying Rumble around. And did you watch this fight? You make Rumble chase you, not the other way around. Gus was attacking and still got steamrolled

One of the best cards in years worth watching every fight except phil davis vs bader.

Gustafsson: Stepping on someone while he's down is 'screwed up'

Anthony Johnson reacts to Jon Jones' tweet to Alexander Gustafsson. He isn't a fan of stepping on people when they're down.

 TWEET (32) SHARE (149) PIN
Anthony Johnson secured the biggest win of his career, with an impressive first round finish at the main event of UFC on FOX 14. Right after victory though, Johnson had mixed emotions and felt bad after seeing his heartbroken opponent in Alexander Gustafsson react after the loss.

"Alex had a goal, and I felt really bad. I saw him crying, and I know how it is when you have a goal and something like this gets in the way," Johnson said about trying to console his opponent. "I guess I'm human. I just felt bad. He didn't reach his goal tonight, but I'm sure he will be back 10 times stronger on his next go around."

It was a stark contrast on how the UFC light heavyweight champ reacted after the fight. Shortly after Gustafsson's tough loss in his home country, Jon Jones sent out a tweet (which was deleted shortly after) to take a shot at his former rival.

While Anthony Johnson said that he has never had any personal problems with Jones, he made it clear that he isn't a fan of that statement, especially after such a devastating loss.

"This world is screwed up," Johnson said about Jones' tweet. "In my opinion, when somebody is down, people always wants to step on you and keep you down. No one really wants to help you up. That's why I think this world is screwed up."

"I don't know, man. Jon is who he is," he said. "He's got bigger things to worry about than Alex."

Johnson earned a UFC title shot with his efforts and says that when they face off in a few months, Jones will know that he is the "hardest puncher he's ever faced".
