Return of the King - Official UFC 197: Jones vs St. Preux thread. Apr 23

[Box Cutta]

How come this shyt only has 12 coli pages?

When the ladies and Conor mix it up, we do numbers....

 

[Mr.Logic]

OSP just wanted to go 5 rounds

OSP seemed very content on losing a decision from the very beginning of the fight. Jones looked a bit rusty in the early going but picked it up late.

I think you are right...I think their game plan was just hang in there for 5 rounds, and that's a victory...

 

[Kenny West]

Would DC have given Jones that work tonight?

Tonight was probably DC's best chance.

this

Jon never really found an answer for his uppercuts he ate a bunch

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

We got the W tho

Bones got that tune-up fight to work the kinks out

#BonesGANG We can't lose

These nikkas expect him to come out prime Jon Jones after not fighting over a year he still came back for DC but that flabby n sick nikka was shook he didn't come back wanting OSP but he said fukk it and took it..

Yeah they mad.. #BonesGANG

 

[jackswstd]

well the good news is jon looks like himself. He doesn't seem any better tho. it sucks that his boxing was just starting to come along right before he got booked. The dc injury worked in his favor the most he looks like he needed the tune up fight.

I don't think he should fukk with heavyweight at all

I didn't see anything new as far as his technique and striking. Granted OSP didn't give him much to work with. I predicted he'd end it early or use the fight to get some cage time after the layoff.

 

[Paper Boi]

i hope DC/Jones is on 200 otherwise


OSP tougher and better off his back than i thought though

 

[Big Boss]

So is Dana putting jones or conor in ufc 200?

 

[yaaa_mad]

DC has to be pissed, this was his best chance to beat JBJ

 

[Northern Son]

He could've ended that in the 4th

He still looked off his game. He didn't even look right when he was ground and pounding OSP.

 

[Mr.Logic]

osp did a lot better than i thought he would, its too bad he doesn't have great fight iq.

He didn't do ANYTHING...He just wanted to go 5 rounds for a moral victory...

Khabib and Dominick Cruz were coming off 2 and 4 year layoffs, that's no excuse. Jones had a few opportunities to finish the fight and didn't.

 

[Kenny West]

kick first strikers looking funny this weekend

take taekwondo brehs

 

[↓R↑LYB]

If Jones is on UFC 200, I'm def copping the PPV

 

[Master Teacher]

Jones is my dude but he's fighting like he's just trying to get through this and make it out healthy this is a safe and bland performance, OSP ain't even trying to push him.

Jones always fights like this, which is my he always win, safety first fighters don't get caught like anderson silva, or get caught because of dumb ass shyt like weidman doing that wheel kick against rockhold

now different than the glover fight, or the DC fight except DC was trying to win the fight, OSP was trying to survive
