The new era of MMA.

I don't want to fight Lyoto Machida," Jones said. "He was my lowest pay-per-view draw of last year.

"No one wants to see me fight Lyoto Machida. I don't want to fight Lyoto again. Lyoto is high risk and low reward.

"He's a tough fighter, but no one wants to buy that fight.

"Between (Mauricio) Shogun (Rua), (Quinton) Rampage (Jackson) and Rashad (Evans), Lyoto was my lowest draw. Why would I want to fight someone where it's a lose-lose situation? "I won't make money on it. And he's a tricky fighter."

well as much as i dislike young JBJ, he does have a point. why take another fight with a guy he raped and buried, when he could potentially make more money fighting someone else.

this is prizefighting brahs.

Who else is there though?

You guys know more about the sport than I do but Machida's surely one of the bigger names in the division.

Jones vs. Shogun, Machida, and Rampage all did similar numbers. Young Bones, like his best friend Canderson, needs to look in mirror and stop blaming other fighters for not being a draw.

The only champion with any honor in this "sport" is the great Georges St-Pierre.

The most exciting thing to happen in the Flyweight division so far:

http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/8/1...ccall-arrested-on-tuesday-no-longer-in-police

UFC flyweight Ian McCall was arrested in Irvine, Calif., on Tuesday. The news was first reported by Stu News Laguna, and MMAFighting.com confirmed the news with the Laguna Beach Police Department.

According to the report, McCall, 28, was arrested "without incident for two Harbor Court warrants for possession of narcotic paraphernalia, possession of prescription meds without a valid prescription, and driving on a suspended license."
 
Hnng - dat Miesha Tate and E Honda at weigh ins.

Also I had no idea Miesha was fighting this weekend til this morning. Why would they relegate her to the prelims?

He doesn't want to fight Machida because he doesn't draw? Lol call out Anderson than you punk. If he makes the iniciative to call him out than Anderson will probably respond.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
hence the ducking.

Pffffttt. Bone's don't duck, he slips. He's Ali-esque in that aspect.

I don't think anyone on MMA-GAF actually likes Bones but you'll find around 95% think none of the current crop of competition stand a chance against him......... and that's being generous.

Were you watching Mission Hill on tv? If so, what channel was it on? I need to watch that show again since I remember loving it so much

Nah, I "acquired it" and you should as well.

Are we really going back to the Anderson vs. Jones shit? For the love of god please give it a rest.
 
Machida vs Bones 38 is going to be awesome because people will still post that picture of that one punch from the first fight and others will just post pics of Machida's lifeless body from the first 37 fights.

yup. wonder if jones will still be afraid to fight him?
 
It's overrated. Fuck you Prodeine Forte, make me maggoted.
That's just codeine, no wonder it was shit. Get some oxycontin. But don't mix it with booze, that's dangerous.

You had me at tan lines.
He had you at "porn guys."

Just watched Rousey/Kaufman All Access and renewed my love for Honda. Also didn't know Kaufman is training with Jackson. Can she run and point fight for 25 minutes without getting dragged to the ground?
 
I'd like a bite of that cupcake. Rousey (sp) is a real draw if she's main eventing a card.

I just don't think there's enough draws in the female division for Dana to take me and put them on the main brand.
