Agreed. I don't think anybody can really strike with him, besides Silva.

Americana. Kimura goes behind the back.

Hey guys remember when Jones beat Vitor. Good times.

4th title defense. In the time he's been champ, he's making a pretty good defense for being P4P (if that title means anything).
Well, bring on Dan Henderson, so we can say he cleaned out the division.

and when you drink and drive.
Silva, maybe Machida if he was a little bit more agressive, young Vitor with his speed with the heart that Vitor has now, or, and people will disagree, a guy that fights like Bisping that has a chin and power.

Probably just sprained. He still had enough in it to fuck Vitor with those satanic elbows and crank that Kimura.

Hated him before that didn't we?
To Vitor's credit, his jiujitsu was on point. People just can't get over Jones' reach/length/versatility.
Kind of impressed that Jones didn't tap out though, at least he wasn't going to quit.

Goldie made two references tonight to the acceptability of fighters marrying his daughter. Technically three since the last one was about both Jones and Belfort.
I was more excited for a Henderson/Bones fight honestly. Bones is a beast though. I wonder what will happen once he's blown through the division?

I dunno, post interview with the way he was holding that thing it sounded like he was about to burst into tears. Which would have been ok, cause i sure would have.
I thought it was an Americana. Kimuras come from the waist up. That's what I thought anyway. PEACE.

He's so cocky. To even think that he could win with that badly dislocated elbow, even though he did, was further proof of his arrogance. He should have tapped as soon as Vitor locked it in as any humble fighter would have done. He essentially broke an unspoken rule of mixed martial arts prize fighting by not conceding defeat to a legend of the sport like Vitor. He's lucky that Vitor is so honorable and didn't decide to break his arm outright.
What a prick.
Does not change the fact the man was built like a mountain for this fight. Damn Vitor is buff.
Vitor nearly subbed Jones with it but that's largely because he caught him completely off-guard at the start of the fight. His continued attempts just became predictable and Jones punished him for it. It's particularly risky to pull guard against Jones because the dude's length allows him to land elbows from the guard. He doesn't even have to transition to do serious damage.
It's going to take someone more adept at subs than ol' Vitor to be able to use that strat vs Jones, or else you just put yourself in a position to eat elbows and get finished.
People make dumb decisions. Not like he murdered someone / raped someone.
Damnit. Almost fell.

Imagine this fight only if Vitor had worse TDD and forgot all his BJJ. That's how the Hendo/Bones fight will go.

Jon Jones is like Skyler from Breaking Bad. No matter what they do they receive hate.
I thought he fought like a beast. Guy is a legend.

TBH, Vitor did more than I expected him to, so props to Vitor for yanking Jones' arm.
He could bump up to HW or retire.
An aggressive Machida would be interesting for sure. The same thing with an aggressive, truly in shape Shogun. I doubt we will see either though.
I've never hated Jones, drunk driving is bullshit though. No matter who does it.
lol I can't believe that shit either. Baby want bottle?

He always fights like a beast. People hate boring point fighters yet hate on a guy that has finished like 9 of his last 10 (all against former champs too)

Talks of super fights or moving up in weight. Just ask GSP and Silva. As unfortunate as it was, at least the injury has given GSP a story for his next fight and question on if he can remain dominant.
Silva is getting old. He's probably only got a few fights left in him.
They said the dude won some contest and that is why he put the belt on Jones.

Thank you for your GIFs Sunhi, you have come through now that ZombieProphet can no longer do UFC fight gifs due to a Zuffa C&D
Why? Vitor is the better fight. Henderson's only hope is to get inside. And even though Henderson has an uncanny ability to get people to engage with him in the pocket, Jones doesn't seem to be one of those guys. Vitor tried to entice Jones a few times by dropping his lead hand. And Jones didn't bite at all.
Anyone else get Vitor vs. Sakuraba flashbacks?
Ah fair enough. Was this contest created in the last month or so? lol
It might be a bit more overreaction on his part from not having his arm really cranked like that before. It definitely hurt him psychologically during the fight though.
