Are you a Machida was winning til he lost guy?

I just really dislike Jon Jones and Rumble. I felt Alex won the fight, but it was so close that a rematch should have happened

what Rumble did to you, chits? he broke Arlovski's jaw, he's a hero.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Machida clearly won that fight. Judges probably read the Cecil Peoples book of pro judging.

 

[Host Samurai]

Actually a Rumble vs Jones showdown sounds pretty neat. Rumble can beat the fuck out of former UFC champions like Arlovski.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

so will Anthony Johnson come in at 300lbs or 400lbs ?

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Hearing Hackleman talk about Glover's punching power has me excited. It may be a classic "puncher's chance" situation, but I truly believe Jon can and will get Subway Flatizza'd in this fight.

May the spirit of Chocolate Al guide Glover to victory. Wrestle in reverse and shock da whirl one time.

I remember like 3 years ago when Glover was completely unknown and you rated him highly. Remember when MMA-GAF freaked out about your claim that he would recycle Shogun? Look at Glover now, in a title fight!

I like to think that half the fun in MMA is picking underdogs and backing a rising talent. A good example is Jon Jones after the Bonnar fight. It was pretty clear that he was a freaky talent that had the ability to go to the top, and it was a lot of fun watching that come to fruition.

With that comes some Okami moments, of course...haha.

He'll actually compete for a world title in his career. What does that make Seth Rollins, breh?

jesus christ, straight for the throat.

and Glover was one Bader twitch muscle reflex away from being in prelims for life. he's trash.

 

[Maklershed]

Callin it now, this will be Jones' easiest title defense since Machida and Sonnen.

I'm envisaging something more like the Rampage fight (Jones', not Glover's).

[ToyMachine228]

Jones is from the same county as me so of course, around here whenever he fights it's a big deal. Pretty cool to have everyone around here excited for something.

EDIT: Also, I wouldn't call myself a UFC fan, but for a guy who's 22-2, why do you call Glover garbage? I've never watched him fight, seriously asking the question.

Fought no one worth a damn in the division. Beating Ryan Bader should NOT give people a title shot.

Give this man a title shot!

If Glover doesn't knock Bones out in the 1st or 2nd I think he gasses and gets picked apart.

Who did Jon Jones beat on the way to destroying your hero, friend?

Who did Jon Jones beat on the way to destroying your hero, friend?

No one but Jon Jones wasn't put on Liberace Lane by Ryan Bader and wasn't gassing out past Round 1. The jig is about to be up for Glowver, friend.

Let's just speak in facts, friend. Ignoring that Jon Jones' road to the title includes Irish Jake O'Brien, Vladdy the Janitor and losing to a deaf man:

Jon Jones beat Ryan Bader for a title shot

Glover beat a better version of Ryan Bader for a title shot

(black and white) Glover is nasty. I've never seen anything like it. When he hits the pads, Hackleman's bones and tendons ache. He's never felt power like that, even from a prime Chuck Liddell. All it takes is one punch in this sport. Sometimes the stars align in this universe and we see something special. This might be Glover's night.

 

[Lambda Pie]

your title challenger, lads.

holy shit, a bit of cold blood and we could be talking UFC 172: Jones vs Bader 2.

 

[damac]

I'm calling for jonest to get knocked out. I have had a rough 9 months, something has to start going my way

You left out the part about him being a fuckin stud.

All I'm saying is if you're going to crush cans en route to a title shot, you better at least look dominant in the process.

 

[EYEL1NER]

Damn this looks like a good night of fights. If only I were not on vacation, I would be able to watch the fights for free on AFN. I suppose finding a bar or club showing them would be a possibility but I have a performance of Die Fledermaus that I am attending with the wife that night anyway.

I doubt Glover will end up beating Jones but if I am wrong and he finally loses on Saturday, I am going to be so pissed that I missed it.

I'm sure Dana is happy with Gil Melendez on ESPN giving Glover zero chance to win.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is this the most stacked card in UFC history?

 

[Host Samurai]

I guess Shogun is going to fight Glover after he gets squashed by Jones

 

[Dysun]

The most stacked card in history


Phil Davis in the co main event



with Rumble Johnson plucked out of WSOF

 

[GungHo]

Is this the most stacked card in UFC history?

Aren't they all?

 

[manfestival]

My guesses are

Jones
Johnson
Boetsch (YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT)
Miller
(dont care about featherweights)
and my main man gomi (his return to form)

 

[Host Samurai]

Jim Miller looks like that Greyjoy from GoT

 

[Dysun]

seriously tho, Phil Davis in the co-main event is like negative interest in this card

if this boring ass lay n prayer ever headlines a card ill shit a brick, and with a few wins he might do it

hes like the black 205 lb version of jim miller, but less interesting

 

[serenewarfare]

Is this the most stacked card in UFC history?

Undoubtedly the most stacked since the last one and until the next one.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

I want to see Phil Davis get a title shot just so I can see him get beasted by Jones, if Jones makes it passed Glover.

 

[Maklershed]

I'm sure Dana is happy with Gil Melendez on ESPN giving Glover zero chance to win.

Tellin it how it is.

 

[RBelong2Us]

The iceman will live through Glover bruhs. Bones stands no chance.

 

[TheKaeptain]

holy shit, a bit of cold blood and we could be talking UFC 172: Jones vs Bader 2.

Just shows me that he can weather the storm and still win.

Jonny has never fucked with a man of true favela grit and determination. Glover didn't have the luxury of practicing katas he saw on YouTube dotch commie. We're talking about a man who grew up in a town with no electricity or running water. I fear for Jon's safety when that cage door closes.

 

[strikeselect]

This may be one of the easiest fights of JJ's career.

On the inside, Glover has nothing. JJ wraps him up, takes him down and Hellbows™ him to smithereens ala Matt Hammil. On the outside, JJ picks him apart with front side kicks, oblique kicks and eye pokes.

Prediction:

Your winner Jon "Bones" Jones by submission Rd. 2

Wrong.

Jones gets tagged with real power, his gameplan will go to shit. If he's smart, he'll stay on his bicycle and try to get lucky with those pansy ass kicks to the knee. He may take it to a decision and possibly outpoint, but he'll never sub Texeira.

Nah, TeX is so white washed now he doesn't even remember the favela days. He's probably going out for champagne and strawberries after Jonny tko's him.

You nailed it.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Glover is going to decision Jones and then decision Gustaffson as well this year.

2015 will be his beast year, by TKO'ing Cormier, Davis and Evans he will become LHW GOAT (Greatest OF ALL TIME!).

Believe.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Good squash match for Jones to get his confidence back after coming close to losing against Gustaffson. I'm going to pass on the PPV, I guess I will check out the gifs afterwards though.
