UFC 128 Newark, NJ March 19 Rua vs Jones

[zY|]

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.

^ 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.

Why so confident in Cane, 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.

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

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.

[Luke]

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

[poopoo333]

I want to see Jones come out at the weigh in and do the staredown to Shogun that he did at Brandon Vera.

Nate weighs 189 today ,just a FYI

If It could interest anybody, coming from another Middleweight that have been in the UFC a long time, Patrick Coté just gave his opinions on UFC 128 (in french) and he seriously think that miller will win against marquart, he ahs nothing too lose and he his a better wrestler and more active on the ground than Nate
This is the big lines of the interview
for shogun jones, he has to go with shogun since he is one of his really good friend, but he had to say that jones was a real phenomenon.
For the schaub vs. cro cop fight, he starts by saying that he has a lot of difficulty to like Schaub, but he thinks that schaub's chances are really good

On a side note, he is also saying that a fighter's union is getting discussed more and more by the fighters since the strikeforce buy out by Zuffa He is talking about a lot of details on that union in the interview If anybody want more detaisl about everything in the article, let me know and I could translate more

[MMA_scientist]

The more I think about Miller/Marquart, the better I think Dan's chances are. But it all hinges on Dan being able to get a takedown, which is pretty questionable. I think it might be worth a bet though.

I also have a hard time liking Schaub, just rubs me the wrong way.

Cote seems like a pretty cool dude for a frenchy.

[Mr. IWS]

Im thinking about getting on Schaub, and parlaying Uriah and Rosholt

[trotterz]

Cote seems like a pretty cool dude for a frenchy.

What is that supposed to mean fucker? lol
