I thought he killed him... look like his neck snapped

And the way he fell on his ankle:

Link to his post fight results?

The Dec results are a lot more important/telling than the post fight results.



It was a 5 round fight. 2 rounds wasn't even half the fight.

1. The results are in the docs I quoted. Scroll down to page 10&11 on both. Top is Jones, bottom Cormier.

2. He almost died. That fight would be stopped nowadays.

Because shogun had more surgery between those fights. Shogun literally has no knees left, can't really count those. Also I'm not even really a fan of the unified rules anyway so i believe shogun has been screwed by that also.
But Shogun didn't even have knees when fighting Griffin and Coleman.

Damn, the LHW division other than the top 5 (Jones, Cormier, Rumble, Rashad & Gus) is looking :trash: If Jones beats Rumble, the next most deserving contender is Ryan fukking Bader. :laff: Jones needs to pack on that muscle and move up to HW.

Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson's message for Jon Jones: 'Keep your hands up'
"Keep your hands up, because if you don't, lights out," Johnson said on FOX Sports 1.

Johnson, though has no delusions about what he's getting into. He's won nine consecutive fights, with six finishes along the way. Jones, of course, has been champion for four years and his only blemish was a controversial disqualification.

While Jones has risen to every challenge and adapted to each opponent's strength, Johnson plans on sticking with his bread and butter.

"I think I'll be the hardest puncher he's ever faced," Johnson said. "And he's faced a lot of top quality guys. Hopefully I can just do things nobody has done to him. Alexander gave him the worst beating he's ever had. Hopefully I can give him one 10 times worse."

But the beating, should it come to pass, would be strictly business, Johnson insists.

"I never come into a fight with any kind of emotion," Johnson said. "That's what I do and i have fun with it. I have nothing against Jon. This is what we do and we're good at it. We're both alpha males and we want to keep winning."

:salute:
to AJ.

Even though I don't like what he said about BW:sas1:
