UFC 128 Newark, NJ March 19 Rua vs Jones

[Luke]

Yawn ....... someone should tell Jones that has already been done before

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah Jon Jones goes to intimidate and Shogun is like "doh di doh, I wonder what he's looking at"

I hadn't seen that yet. That was funny, it was like Shogun was copying him for comedy, with a really awesome straight man facade.

[MMA_scientist]

LOL.

I was actually a little taken aback myself. Rogan was on a ROLLLLLLL.

And as is the case 99.9% of the time, nothing came of it but a stall out, and then it was over...

[SPX]

Why so confident in Cane, SPX?

I'm not super-confident, but I do think he should win. Most of the guys that Marshall has beaten came from a wrestling base and had average striking, and he had good enough TDD to stay up and win a decision. Cane's a damn good striker. He won a clear decision over Cantwell and rocked Diabate before getting KOd.

Marshall is a point's fighter. I haven't seen anything to suggest that he has any sort of ability to knock people out. He also got beat by Matyushenko in a fight that was mostly on the feet, and Matyushenko is certainly no striking specialist.

I'm expecting a kickboxing fight in which Marshall either gets (T)KOd or outpointed for three rounds, much as Cane did to Cantwell. But who knows. Marshall could be a dick and come in and win via takedowns or something.

^ why are you trolling me? You know my position. And that fight is just one more instance of my correctness on the issue.

what was the issue?

LOL.

I was actually a little taken aback myself. Rogan was on a ROLLLLLLL.

"Lullo needs to take an Eddie Bravo refresher course"
"Mission Control"
"Crackhead Control"
"The Zombie"
"T-Rex"

All in the same fucking fight? Damn.

lmao, at the press conference, Shogun/Jones went to "face off" and Jones did that thing where he stood to the side and looked away, so Shogun thought they were posing for the press so he turned away too.

Yeah Jon Jones goes to intimidate and Shogun is like "doh di doh, I wonder what he's looking at"

Here's a play by play with pictures.

There are alot of crazy people in the world. Is this what people do these days, just sit around and film their conversations and then upload it to youtube...

Yeah, pretty much. It's the era of the Interwebz . . . where any whackjob with a computer and a video camera can become a star.

Strangely, he actually brings up some good points though.

I thought so, too.

But I will say that anyone who says "I'm betting the house on Fighter X" instantly loses credibility in my eyes.

They let fans ask questions, and I swear this guy was there:

He was like:

"Jon Jones, please stand up."

*Jon Jones stands up*

"DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BEAT SHOGUN?"

[MMA_scientist]

LOL

If Jones is really disrespecting Shogun then I seriously hope he gets his ass beat.

Agreed.
