    Anthony Njokuani

    Stephen Thompson

    Travis Browne vs Chad

    and Mcdonald vs Torres ! finally a really good prelims !!



    On the Rashad vs Jones fight

    Rashad is going to get smash , doesnt he realize that Jones finish Rampage , Shogun and Machida in the same year?

    Shogun and Machida are one level ahead of Rashad and now he thinks he will beat Jones? don't get me wrong Rashad is an amazing fighter but Jones is just 2 levels ahead of him

    Rashad could not even finish Davis, Jones just choke out the man who KO him( Machida) .

    The more I hear Rashad talk about this, the more he sounds like a spoiled child.



    Not that it means a lot, but from the short clips of JJ and Evans sparring, it looked like Bones had him timed pretty good.

    Rashad keeps talkiing about having his number...

    Tha fact is that if you are teamates and you are sparring...there is NO Going 100%. You have to have respect for your partners. Rshad got served by Machida and didnt do too well against Rampage after he said he was going to knock him out. Rshad didnt even come close. He won but not in a decisive fashion. Tito was a dump truck and winning over him is nothing to bragg about. JJ beat up and submitted Rampage. Took his time and manhandled Machida by finally choked unconscious Machida.



    All this and Rshad says he has JJ number....?? He is full of crap up to his brown eyes.... JJ will keep the distance and pepper him until he is soft enough to put away....oh yeah..dont think its going to be a cake walk when JJ takes Rashad down and fires those elbows down....

    I like them both, probably Jones a little more, but the fact is, the show must go on...Rashad was injured, so quit crying that they gave Jones a shot at the title. The UFC LHW division does not revolve around 1 fighter and wait for him.

    "The UFC LHW division does not revolve around 1 fighter" - - No, you're right Einstein, it revolves around Jon Bones Jones...
