glossed over him like he wasn't even in the same division

This whole Rumble thing is bizarre. He says hes tired of getting punched. Hes literally been in the cage 7 mins the past two years. Something else is up

I wonder what that other job is.

Vince McMahon been on the phone?

 

[Perfectson]

He was idiot proofing the fight. No reason to throw hands and KO Cormier if that's not the plan.

he broke DC nose and tried to KO him with leg kicks

I have no idea what happened in the 2nd round - coaching or his lack of IQ, combination of both. Coaches probably dipped cuz he didn't listen to them

I think he wanted to win but not with all his heart.

 

[FaTaL]

actually i think Jones rather face DC then Rumble - Rumble is way more dangerous. JBJ can counter everything DC can do but is suspect to big punches and while he's had a good chin so far I think Rumble had a shot to KO JBJ.

Jones would ground and pound rumble as well

 

[Maxine Shaw]

I'm getting kind of sick of people saying that UFC "took" JBJ's belt. No, JBJ LOST his belt doing stupid shyt.

You pretty much reinforce my point.... he was clowning around not take the fight serious

Na.... I hold my grudges, his punishment must be more severe.

When he catches that 4th straight L, and Dana cuts him and he goes to Bellatar.... then and only then will I consider stopping my grudge

Martha

Punishment for what, though? Taking advantage of Anderson acting like a fakkit - dancing all up in the octagon? That KO was well deserved.

 

[firemanBk]

Rumbles coaches straight up on him for fighting like a dumb ass. That was his fight to lose and I knew he lost it the second he initiated the clinch for no damn reason

 

[DaveyDave]

Don't go Rumble

Daniel Cormier is a true champion. He represents what discipline is.

Probably a money issue, WME better expect more of that in the months and years to come.

 

[FaTaL]

Let's talk about Weidman losing to fighters in their prime

 

[Mowgli]

I'm not going to make any accusations here, but it seems like Rumble all but threw that fight. Stupid gameplan, no resistance when DC got his back...he just didn't want to be there.

...and right as I post this, he retires. There you go.

You mean before you typed that...

 

[Lord Beasley]

Wow. What a night

UFC is turning into the WWe. See the controversy in the middleweight fight, and the heelish promo/retirement. Rumble gonna rap now?????
