What? Did you not see the fight sat. DC was able to back Jones down and push him against the cage in the early rounds. Jones doesn't have exceptionally quick feet and his striking will not scare Cain at all. Cain won't outlast Bones? I would take Cain's cardio over most WW. And back to this suspect chin shyt again. He got clipped behind the ear on one leg and a torn shoulder. The fact that you think Jones, who doesn't have any KO win, will do it to a HW is laughable. And look at it this way. No one is beating JDS at HW outside Cain. No one is demolishing JDS in the HW division outside Cain. I can't say the same with Jones opponents. None of them are beating him, but they will all beat each other

i was referring to spinning elbows

you dont get enough momentum from those standing elbows jones throws but their effective

ive seen a video of anderson ko'ing a guy from a standing elbow but he put his whole body into it
He threw it upwards too, kinda like an uppercut.

Casual fan here but why is Conor fighting somebody that's ranked 10 :drakewtf:



Dana & Co. want to hot shot Conor to a title match before he has the opportunity to get exposed by an elite guy in the division (i.e. Edgar, Mendes, etc.). Aldo/McGregor is a big money fight, and the UFC wants to cash in. In a perfect and fair world Siver knocks Conor out cold.

Has anyone seen this TV promo for UFC Boston?


I mean I understand you want to showcase Mcgregor but this is just ridiculous. They couldn't even be bothered to sell Siver. Not a single highlight. They had him appear for a 2 sec spot like he was a debuting fighter who just stands and pose in the background because they have no footage of him. I noticed they've been promoting a lot of their upcoming cards like this

Guys just basically being regulated to the background. I noticed that during that huge press conference where they basically had all favorties on one side and the underdogs on one. Its the same shyt that wrestling does. How do you expect to make stars or build interest in a fight when you don't even properly promote them? They need to seriously overall their whole presentation. Everything from their promos to their card production is stale.
