I think it was Kenny Florian on the UFC Post-Show panel that compared it to Jordan befriending people before playoff games to get their guard down, and then ripping their hearts out on the court. Jon definitely seems like the type of guy that would use mind games like Jordan to get any advantage possible over his opponent.

Bellator is such an entertaining shyt show. Look at Kimbo Slice in his 02 NBA jeans. Dude looks like the lead mechanic at Tuck's Mufflers and Ribs Shack

I'm sitting here watching this now, and I had a flashback to high school when I saw those jeans. Dude looks like he left the house to make a run to the liquor store to pick up some scratch offs and a bottle of St. Ides.

Daniel Cormier criticizes Anthony Johnson for fake brawl with UFC champ Jon Jones

Had his chance

 

[George's Dilemma]

Had his chance

“That whole little thing they did at the press conference, you don’t want to do that as a challenger,” Cormier said on UFC 184’s post-fight show on FOX Sports 1. “Why would Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson want to be Jon Jones’ friend? I understand good sportsmanship, but don’t let him goad you into playing games with him. You are coming to take that guy’s livelihood. You’re his opponent. You go out and get that guy.”



After Newzz put me up on Cormier only getting $90k for his pathetic showing against Jones, that quote makes a whole lot of sense. Him crying afterwards, and the c00n video, all of it makes sense now. I thought the prank was hilarious. The sigh of relief that Dana exhaled looked like he had a brand new set of lungs.

Cormier shou;dnt be giving any advice

A few days ago, I met an Irish dude who was on a work trip to Toronto. Asked him if he knew who Conor was. He said he did and was a fan. But, he said that Conor talks too much shyt and he believes that Aldo is going to smash him. I actually had more faith in Conor against Aldo than he did.

hopefully this card actually produces. . .it seems like big name cards are always lackluster with hella boring decisions, while no name free fight cards always have hella finishes and crazy submissions.

I feel you, but this card has exciting match-ups and fighters. Cerrone, Rumble, Vitor, Jones, Browne, Berserker DHK, Weidman, Moraga, Joey B, Dodson, and AA are all generally exciting fighters.
