    Just watched Jones vs. Rampage fight and I really expect it to be similar to this except a earlier sub from Jones.

    Dan Henderson lost to Rampage... When Both at their best... Yet Bones destroyed Rampage, and made him tap out... Pfffff even Jake Shields dominated Dan Henderson in the wrestling game...



    Also Dan Was completely gassed out against Shogun... And that fight should had been a draw. While Bones destroyed Shogun.. How can people actually believe Dan has a chance against Bones. Better yet thinking he will.... WTF are you people on... ...You can weak it all you want... It won't chance the fact that Dan Henderson will be getting a new set dentures Plate soon... Because Jon Bones Jones will absolutely destroy Dan Henderson jaw in less the 3 rounds...

    I agree with all that, but the jaw. pretty sure jones wont k.o. him, most likely sub or ref stop due to strikes, doubt that cro-magnon skull of dans will succumb to cuncussion via jones.

    This site is a popularity contest really. Most guys are driven more off their feelings IMO rather than facts. If you say" F**k All Bones/ Silva Nutthuggers, you get all kinds of Sharps & cheers..... but if say Bones/Silva haters your getting WEAKED like crazy, dudes will talk about how stupid you are, they talk about your Momma ect.....



    Some say they're tired of me saying HATERS( which was originated in The Bay where I'm from, been saying it since the early 90's) What if i would say F**K Chael HATERS, I guess you dudes would be NUTTHUGGING.

    I agree.

    Too many people hate on the few fighters with tons of skill and ability like Jones and Silva.

    Oh well Im having a lot more fun enjoying their fights and wins than hoping they lose every fight only to be disappointed time and time (and in Andersons case time and time and time and time you get the point) again.

    Hendo will not be dominated in this fight. The only way Jones wins(which is highly likely) will be by the judges. He's from Jackson's camp, he's either gonna run away or lay n pray the entire fight. Rashad landed that overhand right many times and Hendo only needs one. That being said the only way Hendo wins it'll be by the H-bomb. If he doesn't land it, Jones will stay the champ.



    Anyone would be a fool to count Hendo out.

    Jones is going to run away or Lay and Pray? Have you watched ANY of his fights? Easily one of the most aggressive and best finishers in the entire sport dumbass

    Not against guys like Hendo. Look I like Jones too but I'm looking at this match up for what it is not just as a fan. I used to love Chuck L. and I thought nobody could stop him, I wouldn't listen to anyone telling me that Rampage beat him twice. Not this time I thought, no matter the history and how it looked on paper and then....He got knocked out.



    Again, look at the Rashad and Rampage fights. They chased him around and he would counter, he would only move in if he felt like he caught'em. Jones doesn't throw very many combos just a lot of faints and spinning moves. It's amazing to watch but only those guys who we can't remember are the ones that jones caught with those spectacular moves.



    He's fighting Dan Henderson! He's got scary power, a steel jaw, and takedown defense. Jones isn't gonna go after him, he would be a fool if he did. He's from Jackson's camp they fight smart and most of the time they fight boring. I believe that the longer Jones is the champ the less aggressive he will become. Look at GSP, Rashad, and now Condint who is the natural born killer that ran away from Diaz the entire fight. He fought not to lose.



    I like both fighters but the facts are the facts my friend.



    P.S. Don't get your panties in a bunch. :-)

    Yo GoldenBibi your comment is weak as ****kk.... it makes no sense to be comparing fights like oh jones beat this guy and henderson didn't. That is total BS Anything can happen in MMA and in fighting in general you can get caught at any moment.

    Well Hateocracy, it seems to me that your posts are hateularity contests. Your criticism above are criticizing all the things you usually say. You come out with all sorts of hatred and little in the way of facts. In fact, I don't know who spews more hated here than you.



    I for one would be glad to join you in a new era of factual discussion and leave the teenage ranting behind. Lets see if we can forget about nuthugging and haters and talk facts from this point forward.



    I agree with you that Bones has too much for Henderson. Bone creativity, speed, power and conditioning will be too much. I suspect Bones will TKO Henderson in Rd 2.

    No way! K.O really? Bones is not known for his K.O. power. It'll be by the judges. I'm calling an upset, Hendo by H-bomb. It would be cool if it really happened.

    by KO?? are you INSANE? Hendo has never been KO'd and Bones has no KO power that we are even aware of. This will not happen. Hendo may loose, he's only got everything to his disadvantage. You couldn't get a younger versus older scenario than this. Or a bigger versus smaller within a division, for that matter.

    Henderson has nothing more than a small chance that a wild right hand will land, and no chance of winning every round (outside of a crazy first round KO)

    Age doesn't mean s*it! Remember a man named Randy? Hendo is doing the same thing he did except with a better record and more titles. So like our friend Xavier said," Believe in Hendo" and show him some f*cking respect, the man is a legend.

    Dude: you're a fvcking idiot. I quoted Xavier in my post above. Can you read? If you had followed this thread you'd know that I am a Hendo supporter and actually have him winning this as, I have said many times. If anything my list is to illustrate HOW MUCH of a legend he really is. Your reply didn't illuminate sh*t, it only assumed and made you look like a major dumbass since it is all now on record.

    Your post reads like you're talking s*it. Pointing out his short comings doesn't show that you're supporting him. I think the people counting Hendo out are the idiots and your post reads that way. Sorry but it does my friend.



    As far things "on record", that really doesn't mean on anything to me. I don't care If opinions are formed about me based off of what I post. In fact I'm forming an opinion about you as I write based off of what you posted. See how that works, you're only as good or as cool as your last post.



    I don't feel like I look like a "dumbass" in my last post but if you feel that way...it's O.K. Go ahead and keep score in your head man, your winning and it's all on "record". Yay!



    Now doesn't that feel good?



    Don't take yourself so seriously.

    Respect has nothing to do with it .

    We all respect Hendo for what he has accomplished in the sport, but that does not change the fact that he will be outclassed by Bones

    @MikeMike IMO Entity spews the most hate on this site but you wouldn't notice that since the two of you have a love affair for the same fighters. I've been noticing how y'all play "Good Cop Bad Cop" on here, didn't you guys JUST gang up on Brasil on yesterdays post?



    So keep it real MikeMike since your the first emotional dude who had the need to put me in my place, Would i be spewing hatred IYO if i was trash talking Silva, Bones, and all non Chael fans? Bottom line imma say what i wanna say, if you don't like it, don't read it......its that easy, now its time for me to get off work y'all have a good one.
