[Roman Brady]

aj deserves a title shot

I know right, what the fuk does he need to face DC for he just finished the dude everyone said beat Jones

 

[Roman Brady]

so rumble won?

damn gust fuked up big time, now he has to go back through dc to get his title shot

nah ufc will protect him, his next fight will come in the form of Vader, Rashad or glover

watching it live it looked like there was an incidental head clash but that gif rubbishes that theory

I think Gus debunked the head thing.

@ that Bader vs Davis fight

Can we get this fakkit out of the top 5 now? All they every talk about is "Phil Davis is a freak athlete"

Yet this guy has a mediocre gas tank, a very non atletic fighting style, and he isnt even explosive. He just looks like a freak athlete cause he was a good college wrestler.

That "takedown attempt" in the 3rd round was absolutely pitiful, he couldnt have been serious with that. Dude lowkey had already quit

 

[puppetmaster]

Looked like one of those blocked shots in basketball where the ball flies into the crowd, countered that kick like "get that weak shyt outta here!"

There have been some amazing career turnarounds in these last few years, I'm happy as hell for Rumble.

I actually like Gus but that attitude of entitlement he's had since that Jones fight got old quick. Plus I think he took to heart what Jon Jones said to him on the countdown special "you've got more tools, he'll gas out etc" Gus really didn't think Rumble could beat him and it showed

Phil Davis is just too nice of a guy to be a fighter I think, dude doesn't seem like he wants to hurt people and his fights end up looking like sparring half the time.

And eye poke or not Hendo is determined to put his fans thru what Chuck's fans went thru during his last few fights.

I agree. I would just add that if I'm rumble's camp I will definitely work on TDD. As long as jones doesn't get rocked early he'll wait until rumble is gassed & go for the takedown & win. Rumble reminds me of a younger rampage & at this point I wouldnt bet against jones.

Rumble is definitely not Rampage

you know Cung Lee was who originally trained Rumble - those combo strikes that Rumble doesn't use anymore are still there , he's just realizes he's quick and powerful enough to time someone and get them the fukk outta there.



styles make fights


JBJ isn't gonna stand on the outside trying to strike with Rumble, he's go inside and smother Anthony and try to too damage inside and maybe take him down. Reason why Alex was so good against JBJ is that JBJ is so patient and AG was able to stand on the outside with his reach and pick JBJ apart

 

[Perfectson]

Look like they both went for the sneak.

Rumble is definitely not Rampage

Young Rampage had a inhuman gas tank and was suplexing the fukk out of people. But he could never cut the ring off like Rumble does.

Anyway, this nikka Rumble has developed the perfect fighting style for his body. He has a pinball head and he tucks that shyt into his chest, it gives you a really small target to hit. He built the muscle up around his neck so even if you do land a punch there wont be much shock trauma. He plants his feet into every punch and when he does it, he guards with his free arm and his arms are freaking huge. I've never seen somone with a brawler style like that who's so difficult to hit.

Then this nikka got the NERVE, THE fukkING AUDACITY! TO ADD WELL TIMED KICKS TO THAT shyt!!
All that stuff sounds so simple but its rare to see a MMArtist who can put it all together like that..

Dude lookin like a black, non roided up Dave Bautista out here

Whether he beats Jones or not, he's gonna be top 2 LHW for a looooong time

I think Gus debunked the head thing.

a lot of the time the disappointment of the loss has fighters not wanting to latch on to such excuses in order to save some face. His reply wasn't definitive he said "not that I know of" like I have to watch the fight to tell you for sure. That's all heartbroken fans need to go off

What? I thought he said he didn't feel the headbutt at the conference.

 

[UnoVon]

Another great white hope down. Reminds of when they built up that red headed white boy from Mexico as being the man to destroy Mayweather ..but nah.

 

[pimpineasy]

Gus has never said a racist statement as far as I know, and those were booing Rumble because that's Gus's hometown. All that cac shyt was unnecessary. As far as my avatar goes, it has nothing to do with his skin tone.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Its disgusting how some bring up race in everything.....like yeah we get it my nikka its the internet and you want to vent but cmon man

 

[pimpineasy]

it's called talking shyt, you give some, you get some

its all good except when jones gets the last laugh huh

fukk that double standard shyt, gus was disrespectful and jones had every right to that tweet

jones ain't talk shyt on Machida, shogun, teixeria, and Vitor, they were respectful

rampage, Rashad, sonnen, cormier, and know gus, fair game, he was just responding to their shyt talk

Jon coke Jones is an a$$hole
