Can't wait to see Jones lose

 

[strikeselect]

JJ took down DC in less than 6 seconds and landed about two good shots.

There's a pretty interesting Strikeforce / Coker story in there. Good listen so far.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

I'll take a fake feud in a title fight over everything else that's happened in 2014 so far.

 

[alr1ght]

Well Jones and DC are on Sportscenter. Doing work.

 

[dream]

Both guys are booked for tonight's Sportscenter. I'm going with 800k buys. Maybe as high as 875 if they tussle on ESPN.

 

[Chamber]

Jones is a cornball, I don't trust him to sell a fight verbally.

 

[dream]

I don't think he really needs to do much talking when he's up against a shorter, blacker version of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

 

[Host Samurai]

Im ready for dem wolf tickets

 

[bone_and_sinew]

ALL I GOTTA SAY ITS GONNA BE SOME MORE BLACK ON BLACK CRIME

 

[alr1ght]

Love the SC anchor calling JBJ fake.

 

[dream]

In every generation, there is a transcendent fighter. Royce Gracie, Frank Shamrock, Mirko Crocop, BJ Penn. I think Cormier is this generation's guy. Complete in every way.

 

[Heel]

DC is smartened up to the business, likely guided in secret by Stone Cold Steve Austin. The mark UFC Universe about to be worked over one more time ala Rampage/Rashad to the tune of 900k PPV buys. It's that easy.

 

[dream]

Can't wait until they embrace after the fight and loudly talk about how much money they made together.

 

[strobogo]

JBJ looks like he shops at an Abe Lincoln party store.

 

[VoxPop]

Trujillo out of fight with Pearson. Now Pearson vs Maynard. =T

 

[Gr1mLock]

Jon is not aging gracefully thats for sure.

Wild boys!

 

[iddqd]

I'm in.
They had my money when that small Dana/Anik clone got shoved the shit out of the way by Jones.

 

[Spiderjericho]

Guess they went back and forth on twitter. Apparently, three people pulled DC down during the skirmish. JB was clowning him on his takedown defense and pitter patter strikes.

Lol

well I'm a DC fan. I don't think Jon is in on it.
edit: just saw the sportscenter interview, yeah I'm definitely a DC fan now lol.

How awesome was Bones Jones's white man voice?

JB was such a heel. He was fraudulently pretending to be innocent and completely surprised by the outcome of the face off.

The only thing I have to say is DC, watch out for those eye pokes and kicks to the knee. The dirtiest player in the game (next to Chael and Vitor) knows you need a knee scope.

The show is probably going to get 700,000 buys.

[Plywood]

I seriously thought Sholler was Anik.

 

[Chamber]

I seriously thought Sholler was Anik.

I thought so too. I wish that was Dana though, would have really made the angle complete.

 

[TheChits]

Oh man, that SportsCenter segment.

War DC.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Oh man, that SportsCenter segment.

War DC.

Jon has to be mildly sociopathic.

 

[Heel]

They're supposed to be in studio together on FOX Sports Live at the top of the hour. Florian tagging in for Sholler.

4 phones and 7 white girls ago.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Does anybody actually think that DC will be the guy to beat Jones? Dude knee is probably not 100% (Jones is going to target it all night with oblique kicks anyway), he is at a huge reach (over 12 inches) and height disadvantage, and who knows how his cardio will hold up for 5 rounds. Yes, Cormier is really strong, but Jones is also an athletic freak--not buying the idea that Cormier is going to be tossing him around like he did to Henderson.

 

[dream]

Cormier manhandled Josh, man. And that was 3 years ago.

 

[Haunted]

Welp that was just sad to watch. That was a gimme fight, Nogueira had no chance

LOL another legend that needs to retire

What happened to all these Brazilian MMA fighters man

Relevant thread title.

 

[Fornaximus]

Only reason I think DC stands a chance is because of how he manhandled most of his opponents at HW.

 

[Chamber]

I would love to be wrong but I think DC is getting curbstomped.

 

[Heel]

DC has been forged by 1000 fights with Cain. I'm going with the whirl shock, but you already knew that.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I dont see who it would exactly shock. Jon aint got the pedigree to handle that wrestling. Aint strong or fast enough to keep DC at bay for 5 rounds. Crumbr is right about the curbstomping, he just put his bills on the wrong pony.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Not only do I think DC will win but I think he'll finish Bones.

 

[Dysun]

DC has rolled over everyone until now, and Jones wrestling has looked pretty flaky lately. I think DC will take him down, he will only lose if he gasses out

 

[Chamber]

I just see a repeat of every Jones fight against a short opponent where Jon kicks the shit out of the guys kneecaps and put his fingers in their eyes all night.

 

[VoxPop]

Hoping for multiple blatant Bones eyepokes and a Paul Daley-esque outburst by Cormier. Go back to HW where the competition is easier, dummy.

 

[TheBear]

Jon Anik shitting his pants on stage is what makes this whole thing that much more special

 

[Spiderjericho]

Hoping for multiple blatant Bones eyepokes and a Paul Daley-esque outburst by Cormier. Go back to HW where the competition is easier, dummy.

Except it'll end up like Rory/GSP. Unless Cain retires, DC would keep being a gatekeeper. He was easily the #1 contender in HW.

He better tell Cain to come at him at 100 to ensure his gas tank holds up. But those eye pokes and kicks to the knee. And it's not like JB doesn't finish opponents (besides a few opponents like Evans, Glover and Gustafson).

I just saw this. Either he's been cut or the fight with Nelson is off. Not looking good either way.

Edit: Dana says he's not cut.
