Bro, Jones' boxing is so good he should fight one of the Klitchko brothers
Yeah, Jones clearly came into that fight with a boxing mindset, as shown by him spamming knee kicks right off the bat. If only he had really wanted to wrestle, it would've been a much different story. Those 10 failed takedown attempts after he was losing the standup weren't executed with the indomitable spirit only the base of the pyramid can provide.
Pride era wand would be so ashamed of what he's turned into since coming to the UFC in 2007. Ducking Chael P. Sonnen SMH.

they let drop outs go to reunions?
What's Wandy going on about in this gif?
ducking fights and tough guy posturing.

Wand is shitting on his legacy. Fights Crocop, Hunt and begging for a fight with new old Victor, all while ducking the least dangerous guy in the ultimate

Well when they stick their hands in your face at least their fingers aren't exposed.

Bellator picking up more UFC scraps - Aaron Rosa this time. I'm glad to see he's getting another shot on a national level. I think he's a lot better than he appeared to be in his short stint in the UFC. Maybe he can prove himself at Bellator. I mean how bad could he be when the guy that just earned a title shot at LHW got it by beating Jacob Noe?
bald bozo fuck.
Wildman says he's been cordial.
All part of the mating ritual. Wildman shall mount the spider once more and ride him into the wilderness of Brazil.
My early prediction? Wildman victory by the Shawn Michaels trademark sweet chin music.

Something like this ideally.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I'll let this one slide.
But I'm seriously awaiting the announcement that Bellator's 2nd PPV to be headlined with Shamrock vs. Couture. Or Shamrock vs. Shamrock.
he also said weidman's punch was luck

Bellator will never survive if its just going to be picking up the UFC's scraps and washed up legends. It's got WCW written all over it. They should offer something different than the UFC...anything. Offer a ring for starters, they have nothing to lose. Their circle cage screams cheap knockoff.

They need to get rid of their belts.
Just run constant tournaments. Seed the former tournament champions into the semi-finals.
At this point winning a Bellator belt is a curse. Especially if you're in a weight class above welterweight. How many times did Cole Konrad fight after he became champion compared to his fights before?
(Made his debut and fought 7 times in 2010 - winning the belt on his last fight. Then once in 2011 and once in 2012 - with only the 2012 fight being a title match.)
Before they signed Rampage and Tito I'd have said "ditch your heavier weight classes" altogether, because it's obvious that the only talent in the company lies in the Lightweights and lower. But with signing all these UFC castoffs in LHW and HW they're going to want to get their money's worth.
Still doesn't matter. Viacom will shutter Bellator by 2016 after realising there's no profit to be made in high-level MMA unless you're the UFC.

Or they should just go for being a "bush league" and just go with it. Trying to compete with the ultimate at this point is just a joke

Did Weidman get injured and Francis Carmont step in yet?

I'd be a fan of this.
Would you accept Weidman/Belfort or Silva/Belfort 2 as a suitable replacement if one of them were to get injured?
Pee Pee Man looking shredded @ 185
You're now in a jessie vortex.
I'll be doing this as well in the coming weeks. Sooner rather than later to avoid spoilers.
im going to spoil the shit out of the series next monday after the finale.

Two words: tag team MMA.
Also have men vs women fights with staggered weight classes. 125 lb men vs 145 lbs women.

Seriously, is there anyone stopping this from happening? This would be brilliant for Bellator to do.
Athletic commissions...whatever stopped this greatness from happening in glorious nippon, I don't know. That giant Russian woman vs Kid might've saved JMMA.
Not exactly tag team MMA but..
Thought it was a pretty cool idea
Cesae Gracie vs Tristar
Jackson MMA vs AKA
Blackhouse vs BTT
Lions Den vs Hammerhouse

Disco Inferno is such a great dude.
I can't believe nobody has done this before. Surely someone has...right?
Would work wonders for guys like Reem, Penn, and Shogun. Bring em out for the first 5 minute round then swap off to a fresh up and comer.

Oh man, elimination style would be absurd too, absurdly awesome. Or tag matches with huge weight differences between partners. The flyweight-heavyweight title!
Any kind of strap match for that fucker to keep him within reach. I'd even enjoy a Shark Tank Cage Match with that bastard.
Mother Russia has everything you need.

After watching UFC Tonight I'm 100% sure that the Jones/Gus rematch is already in the works. This entire show seems like a commercial to promote it. How Chael/Kenny both think its the best fight they ever saw, only showing tweets from fighters that thought Gus won, explaining that Cormier and Glover are fine with the idea of a rematch instead of them getting the next fight (rrrright), etc.
Roxanne fighting tonight on TUF. And based on the reaction shot they show in the commercial it looks like someone gets f/ed up.
