Brock Lesnar vs Jon Jones could still happen so there’s hope for us still guys

Two dope fiends going at it.

Leaving everything aside, Jones is still a sick fighter. It's just a tragedy somehow that all that talent manifests in an otherwise chitty human being.

I'm not saying that MMA fighters need to be positive examples for kids (at least, not necessarily), but this guy...

Is there even anyone who could beat him in a fight (period)? I'm not optimistic about DC's chances in another rematch. And Jones has previously talked about his flexibility moving between weight classes...

Looks like people are still crying about Jones PED usage, despite the fact that he's also been destroying PED fighters his entire career. Everybody is yelling out that GSP or Anderson or Aldo are the GOAT, yet they all used PED as well. Grow up and accept that Jones is the GOAT.

I wonder how many rounds Anthony Smith would last with Jones.

Please show me the tests that GSP and Aldo failed

I don't think DC would beat him at either weight classes, and there's really no point for a 205 rematch since DC lost twice. He's much older than Jones, and that's probably his biggest disadvantage in the fight. Maybe if DC was a cheater like Jones, then he'd stand a chance, but otherwise the younger cheating Jones wins. I think the only time DC had a chance against him was when Jones returned and fought OSP. He had trouble with the guy, even when OSP had an injured arm early on in the fight.

Wow at the NUnes Cyborg fight.

It was like Fedor Werdum in a sense that everyone thought one fighter was invincible, including that fighter, and MMA Gods punished the fighter for arrogance and blind bulrush.

Crazy that not only does Nunes hit hard and precise, but that Cyborg’s chin might have expired. Time waits for no man. And yes, I said man. GTFO. She is more man than Michelle Obama.

GSP started WADA certified anti-doping testing in early 2013 before anyone else in the UFC except for Roy "Big Country" Nelson.

GSP quit the sport in large part because the UFC refused to implement testing.

GSP continued being tested after "retiring" and even then joined the USADA testing pool.

GSP's body has remained pretty much identical since the beginning of his career. You can find footage of him in the Canadian Fighting Championship and compare it to this day. The only major changes have come since he's started doing gymnastic and then the changes have been minor and throughout these changes he's been under WADA level testing with USADA AND with VADA.

As it stands, GSP is the fighter with the oldest blood samples collected on UFC roster. These samples are still retested as per WADA protocol using the best and newest ISTI methodologies for finding new drugs that might have been undetectable the first time. Using these methods WADA labs can go back as far as ten years in the past for example.

Overall throughout the span of his career, GSP remains the longest tested fighter in the UFC.

1. anyone that paid attention to Cyborgs last cpl fights, she already looked "human" and beatable

2. if you look at Amanda Nunes body movements and flow, she has a very anabolic kind of fluid flexibility and body composition. Adding power to that was not gonna slow down her combos. Brb you take how good she is at strikes, combos and movement, and you add power to it? there is no downside.

I think Cyborg was just too used to fighting women that didn't pack a punch. Nunes does hit hard also.

That would be, simply delicious. no homo. No matter who wins I'd love it.

i'm 12 and wat is this?

Cyborgs chin might have expired? You wot? She took like 9 hard punches from nunes in order to get knocked out son. That’s not a weak chin. If it was any other female fighter receiving those shots, they’d be out cold with the first punch.

cyborgs been fighting since cameras were potatoes

She had the Rousey experience. Never faced someone who a) wasn't afraid of her and b) could hit as hard.

On a positive note I'm fairly sure that unlike Rousey, this won't mentally break Cyborg and send her to the WWE.

Nunes said her coaches told her that as soon as she landed a shot that Cyborg would lose her composure and come after her wanting to brawl. Cyborg fell right into that trap and tried to brawl with a fighter that has quicker hands, better accuracy, and right hand with power. Cyborg simply had no experience fighting another powerful woman with skill.

He was the shooto champion at 167lbs then moved UP to 185 in the ufc and took the 205 title there. So he actually did move up in weight to chase a title.

GSP moved UP in weight to fight bisping, just last year - again, to chase a title.

This.

I watched an interview of her (Cyborg) saying how she's a much smarter fighter now, doesn't rely on power/brawling, how she thinks more, etc.
Didn't look very smart to me. She went full retard in there and paid for it.

I don't see any reason for Cyborg to retire. A loss can be a great learning experience. Nunes losing to Zingano was a turning point for her career. It made her realize she needed to make adjustments and she went to American Top Team and became a more complete fighter. Cyborg as also make adjustments and come back a better fighter.

Jones reach is a huge advantage, and he uses it well

Gus fought bad

I don't understand why people stand at range with Jones, he has a huge range advantage. You cannot fight on the outside against a fighter that out ranges you, it puts you at a huge disadvantage to do so.

Think about if 1 fighter were holding a bat that is 30 inches in length. The fighter with a bat can now hit you from arms length, plus 30 fking inches away. Would it make sense to fight at a distance of arms length, plus 30 inches against such a fighter? No. You'll get hit, and not be able to hit, only outcome there is a lose.

This is basic logic, yet these guys are the best fighters the world has to offer? Just blows my fkin mind.

DC has the right idea, that clinch dirty boxing style. He hit Jones with so many uppercuts in that one fight, it's surprising Jones didn't get knocked out.

I think DC can beat Jones, obviously he can, the guy can beat anyone. It's even possible DC beats Jones more often than Jones beats DC. If you understand variance, you'll know that two fights isn't nearly enough to have a good idea about who the better fighter is. In fact you couldn't fight enough times to ever know with any degree of certainty.

But... if you think it's just mere coincidence that the guy with the longest reach just happens to be doing so well, I dunno what to tell ya. Being able to hit someone, when they cannot hit you is everything. It even hits at the core of our evolution to being top predators. A lion will fuking rape any one of us toe-to-toe, but if we climb a tree and start throwing rocks at tat lion... that lion can no longer hit us, while we can hit it. Reach is a huuuuuggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee advantage. "But Stefan Struve has just as long reach, and he's not as good as Jones."... yeah you can have long reach, go full retard, and not use it.

where is that rule listed?

lol that guy has IQ problems, last fight was horrible

he took off 10 years off his age on live TV, nothing wrong with that. I do the opposite I add ten years IRL - everyone has their quirks

He was the most tested and failed 3 tests....clean though

she also said in the post fight conference that that's who she is. that when she gets hit, she wants to hit right back. she gave no hints about wanting to change up her game plan next time aroundeven his cornermen didn't want to go inside the octagon when he called them after his second bout with DC. imagine being them and watching rumble repeatedly engage in wrestling with an olympian wrestler. must have been so frustrating

I don't understand how Gustafsson skill went down the drain so fast.


Third fight in 3 years, just sat around waiting for big names.

And calling out fighters.


Should just retire.






......................

lightweight division is garbage now.


who can they even offer to Jones (if he doesn't get caught pissing hot again)


other than forcing Cormier to fight


only other fight might be Yoel Romeoro at 205 vs Jones

Feel like he has never been the same after Rumble molly wopped him.

what you guys think of


Stipe Miocic vs Jones at heavy weight?


Miocic is light for heavyweight think last fight was 220.

Jones probably walks around 220

You can make all the arguments you want but we all know he was on something. Lance Armstrong got away with it all his life until somebody ratted him out. Just because they got away with it doesn't discredit their achievements nor anyone who got actually got caught. There are a lot of fighters in the roster we have that are clearly abusing it, like Romero, but nobody cares because theyre not Jones.
