Jds isn't better than everyone that jones face. I bet dc beats jds. Hell machida probably beats jds and glover may give him a run for his money at catch weight.

"[Jon Jones] should be a star amongst stars," said Cormier in a recent interview. "He should go to places like the [ESPN] ESPY awards and be as recognized as some of the greatest [athletes] in the world, but because of the things he does outside of the Octagon, it holds him back."
It isn't over yet. They claim the UFC paid so and so to get everything swept under the rug, or some shyt like that.Radio silence for the Jones haters.
Machida's mom would beat Shogun at this point.
No. Just no
I agree about DC possibly beating JDS if its a three rounder. But we just saw DC fades. And JDS has excellent body strikes.

Machida used to fight at heavy weight years ago. As far as glover they both would be standing swinging at each other

Yup. People are forgetting that Machida landed some strong good kicks to the body throughout the fight, so I wouldn't be surprised if that tired Weidman out a little. Still, I thought he did very well considering it was the first time he ever went the full 25. He needed that experience.
Although he did take some hard shots.

Agree with some of y'all statements on Shogun. I'm so scared for his health, I almost don't want to see him fight again, even though I (selfishly) want to see him take on some big name fights (like I THOUGHT he was gonna do against Anderson).
And speaking of Anderson, I would really hope he declines a title shot (if Weidman is still champ), because as weird as those two fights were, it's been established who's simply better at this stage of their respective careers. If anything, I'd rather with this new contract that Anderson just only goes for big name fights, like here with Diaz, and if possible, dabble a little in 205. I know he probably won't ever fight Shogun and I damn sure know he'll never fight Lyoto, but maybe a fight against Rampage or Rashad could do good to great numbers. Maybe if before Jones moves to HW, he takes on Anderson in a true dream match, because at this point, I'd rather see Anderson close out his career with a bang, giving back to the fans by giving them what they want to see.

MMA conspiracy of the day: Was Chael Sonnen making a Cocaine reference to Jon "Bones" Jones when he drank a Coca Cola at their weigh ins and posted this tweet back in 2012?

it's not his actions outside the octagon that styming him from brushing shoulders with the who's who of sports that's a ufc/mma not being popular problem. Sidney crosby for all his talents ain't exactly the star he should be and that's cuz nobody cares about the nhl.The mma community should actually be thankful the sport isn't popular cuz if it was stories like these would get more traction and cause a shytstorm
Ps Cormier needs to stop talking about Jones now, don't care what his other job is
