Jones length is too much to overcome for the regular physical structure in the division, sigh.
thats what your girl said...
Other then the main event this card doesnt really stick out to me to much...not a huge fan of the nog bros. im from Toronto and bought four tickets to this event... so i just sold them all and made a $400 profit lol not to shabby.
"My balls are soo wet!" -NPH
mir hasnt been one to watch lately, and tito, just bleh, atleast he's not the main event like usual.
You know, there may be some lessons for Lyoto in the early days of the UFC. At that time most of the fighters were strikers and were unschooled in BJJ which confounded them. In order to strike Machida will have to get inside Jone's reach. Rather than the risky move in, strike and try to get out he might consider testing Jones BJJ skills.
I just want to see someone give Jones some decent competition for a change. The kid is gonna be hard to beat-no matter who they put in there with him. I don' think I've ever seen him hurt or rocked.
20 lbs of lean muscle added, striking and jitsu training with Anderson, olympic calibur wrestling with Lawal.... Jones better take this seriously, or he will lose his belt quicker than you can say Welcome back to the Machida era...
