Fighters could die right now. They're punching people in the head and trying to choke them to sleep
PRIDE NEVER DIE
a guy just asked Dana if David Taymur looks good and deserving of a top 15 fight and I guarantee you Dana has no idea who David Taymur is.
I think if the fight went the distance DC probably could've pulled the win. I remember he was giving Jones the business until the kick.
DC can beat anyone in the world.....except Bones. He'll have to live with that. Same as the russian guy who he couldn't beat in wrestling.
Lol he looked so confused when the dude first said that name
I mean, its impossible to say. He got knocked out. Most guys who get knocked out don't get the benefit of "but if he hadn't gotten knocked out he might have won!'. They just get knocked out. Bones is 2-0 against DC. He won the first fight in a pretty convincing decision. HE won the 2nd fight by 3rd round KO. Let's be real only reason there is going to be a third fight, and people are giving DC a legit shot, is because they fucking hate each other, and because DC is one of the most likable fighters ever while Bones is one of the more hateable.
I should correct myself, DC has a chance against Bones at HW. DC at HW is a different beast and idk how Bones would fare at HW.
I think the only major fight where "he would have won if he wouldn't have gotten knocked out" is a legit argument in someone's favor is Rory against Robbie. He legit was like three minutes away from victory until his nose was sacrificed forever.
No, it's because DC has beaten everyone else at LHW besides a few new up and comers like Anthony Smith. The division sucks ass, HW is where Jon faces better competition. DC is straight up better in that weight class, he actually has a chance of knocking Jon out cold there.
Or gets popped for another banned substance. Or gets arrested for something stupid. Or has to go back to rehab. But yeah- he's not losing in the cage.
He was. Jones just has him edged out at 205 though. Especially now, who knows what would be left of DC doing that cut again.
If they do this fight, it should happen at heavyweight. Some of the shots DC was landing on Jones might've put him away at HW.
These people ask the dumbest fucking questions. It's always "Will UFC come to **insert my country**" or "What do you think of **insert random fighter from my country**" while Dana responds with the most non-committed, dismissive answers.
Winner of that fight is going to get one of those brand new redesigned UFC belts, and then get it taken away when their division gets shut down
I think if Bones insists on staying at 205, DC will probably agree. Jones has his belt back, and is 2-0 against DC. He probably doesn't feel he needs to fight Cormier again or chase him to HW.
I'll be okay with that if they had a 165, 175, and 195lb division.
Still on fight pass and only a mater of time till she moves over.
lol @ people asking Gus if he thinks he'll get/wants a title shot in the future..........maybe wait and see if he wins his next few fights lol
DC would be foolish to fight him at 205 again. Can't let his pride get the better of him.
He should insist any potential rematch happen at heavyweight, and come from the angle that Jones can take whatever wants as no weight cut will be enough for him to even the odds.
Yeah- just tales from my ass, but I've kind of gotten the impression that this was all about setting up a champion vs. champion superfight at HW. Just the timing of DC giving up the LHW belt and all the recent banter between the two. Plus, if DC was going to fight Bones at 205, he'd have held on to the LHW belt and dropped the HW one. I honestly think he has zero interest in attempting that weight cut again.
Just got back from The Forum. What an atmosphere in there. We all lost our collective shit when Nunes got that KO. I've been in the crowd for Sonnen getting subbed by Silva, Silva KOing Vitor, and Silva breaking his leg, and that moment feels like it was right up there along those in terms of how electric the crowd was.
Jones showed just how masterful his technique and fight IQ are tonight. He seemed to have gameplanned perfectly to shut down Alex's game. What a great card, Zingano eye injury notwithstanding.
Hall basically did to Penn what Ryo Chonan did to Anderson Silva, and Silva hadn't even started his UFC career at that point, so I don't necessarily see that as reason for him to stop necessarily.

Depends on how they approach it and how insistent Bones is on not moving up. I think, as much as it sucks, DC probably needs a third fight more than Jon does. Jones has demonstrated that he has little to no shame, I doubt he feels like he has something to prove.
He really has nothing to prove against DC at 205. And if they fight at 205, DC is crying again. DC can try to make it happen at HW, but Jones holds the cards here IMO.
I bet the reaction was way bigger for Nunes's win than it was for Jones's right?
By far. Not even close. When Jones had Gus on the ground it was a foregone conclusion. Pretty anti-climactic.
Also a snitch.
But Pride was fucking great in its peak with no regard for steroids or whatever juice. Japan still doesn't give a fuck now.
what do you mean? of course RIZIN has come around to the modern MMA landscape and at least does baseline drug testing/ I see nothing but clean, natty fighters on tomorrows car--

My favorite Gabi Rizin moment is when a 53 year-old woman accepted a fight with her. At the weigh-ins that woman came in at 162lbs. She'd agreed to fight Gabi if she got down to 209lbs. Gabi took to the scales and came in at...237lbs.
He is stupid AF.
His fighting skills are amazing to watch, and he is also an awful human being.
Don't go to him for any philosophical shit or advice on life.
He is the antithesis of christian.
Lol so glad I hit that notification for this thread. Makes it even better that I apparently read Stipe's tweets in his Bob's Burgers Teddy voice.
It's a secular fight game. Having faith is fine (in many cases, good) and I hope it works for him in getting clean, but stop bringing Jesus into the Octagon. It belittles what already has become a disgraced religion.
You won because you're a better fighter or got lucky. Cyborg lost because Nunes is a much more skilled fighter (or she got lucky).
