Jon Jones fires back after criticism from his last performance

Jones went at Rockhold, Werdum and Silva, surprised he didn't throw in Conor and Ronda

He should've and could've finished OSP many times in that fight, He only has himself to blame for being criticized

So what time will the main events be on July 7th and 8th?

I don't care to watch those entire cards. Is it safe for me to take a nap and wake up at midnight?

A drug dealer payed for Mighty Mouse's first MMA classes when he couldn't afford it

 

[Roman Brady]

Don't know how anyone could watch that, those dudes aren't of "good people"

​

• Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz II
• Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira
• Damian Maia vs. Carlos Condit
• Rick Story vs. Donald Cerrone
• Thiago Alves vs. Al Iaquinta
• Cody Garbrandt vs. Takeya Mizugaki
• Neil Magny vs. Dong Hyun Kim

dude has that Jon Jones On versus type momentum and that's the best they could do? An asian? Wow

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I appreciate Mighty Mouse's interview he is a cool dude

10pm EST.

Yeah, both those cards are disappointing. Other than the main events, Big Country/Lewis and Pearson/Brooks, not a fan of those two cards.

UFC 202 looking good:

• Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz II
• Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira
• Damian Maia vs. Carlos Condit
• Rick Story vs. Donald Cerrone
• Thiago Alves vs. Al Iaquinta
• Cody Garbrandt vs. Takeya Mizugaki
• Neil Magny vs. Dong Hyun Kim

Thats 2 great prelims there, Alves vs. Iaquinta and Magny vs. Kim. Magny deserves main card, but he aint getting it over the top 4 fights and Garbrandt.
Also, Mizugaki is a tough fight for Garbrandt, but he deserves higher ranked like Caraway, if he wasnt such a ......

other than conor and diaz, it looks like a good card.

Last time Jones finished anyone was a middleweight in 2013 that he shouldn't have even been fighting.

Jones doesn't destroy opponents anymore. People just got gassed up off his weight lifting pictures and thought Jones was about to be new and improved and he wasn't. Not his fault, he is who he is

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I don't really put too much behind Jones not finishing people because to me he stays just trying to test himself. If you wanna box ok I'll box, if you wanna grapple ok I'll grapple. He's unorthodox in that sense.

My friend said Jon Jones is the Lebron James of UFC basically. What do y'all think?

Jon hasn't lost in the finals

Physical attributes, just like how Silva is. Bron Bron isn't the normal physical specimen nor is Jones and they know how to capitalize on their attributes to make them championship type caliber athletes

That I can roll with.

The position of that choke that Bones used on Machida is every time I see it.
