So how great is Jon Jones looking right now?
I just saw Jones v Cormier, both fights, the way Jon Jones rag dolls Cormier just has me in aww, imo Jones makes Cormier look like a white belt, I'm just saying, if Cormier is at a 10 Jon Jones is at 11......jfc scary shit......
no big deal but Dana White and Brendan Schaub were banging Ronda at the same time.
not judging, not shaming.
just putting that out there for yall to digest.

like i literally couldnt fault you for a neg here but its a huge, huge, huge thread on reddit that you can find pretty fast.
i'd look for it myself but i dont read reddit for i am not a gay.
The Brendan Schaub - Dana White - Ronda Rousey drama is more entertaining than 95% of the cards from this year

I suspect blagoy touches junior tonight. Cant see it not happening.
just got an ESPN notification that Anderson Silva got cleared by USADA. Tainted legal dietary suppliment. Says he feels "vindicated". Thoughts guys? Can he make another run? I'd love to see it, but age and rust are a bitch.
ok back to actual interesting mma news;
dana suing _everyone_:
does anyone have a link to the josh thompson interview where he basically validated brendan's claim?

Both guys are being twatty, but I do agree with Brendan's assessment that Dana is fucking up the UFC right now

Aldo-Stephens about as good a free tv fight as you can get. Except maybe for the next fight?
After tonight, there'll prolly be a December Fox show, then no more free/network tv for at least 5 years.
also, right after the presser that diaz showed up late for, he immed sent this out
Nate's the best.
edit: one more
Early line on Conor vs Khabib on Bovada:
Conor +130
Khabib -160
I'm gonna probably jump on Conor now, but I also want the KO prop too
It opened way higher, which is surprising since the oddsmakers know how retarded Conor's followers are. I think you could of had +200 or more.Quote:

diaz is going to break dustin early and conor is going to absolutely fold nurm if nurm spends a single second of his in-cage life not shooting for the double.
I'm expecting that late Irish fan boy money making Khabib a bet on fight night.
As for this card tonight a few interesting fights so far and ahead but LOL at this female fight being on the main card.
Moicano is the real deal guys he made Cub Swanson look completely irrelevant.
Cejudo coming out to drexels music
holy shit DJ lost
Trilogy
Very surprised but tough fight to call.
Henry didn't do much on the ground but he put DJ there enough to seal it in the judges eyes.
Now Henry is calling out the winner of Dillashaw vs Garbrandt since DJ didn't move up to fight them.
DJ only lost cause I put him in a few parlays lol

tj just has his fucking number.
honestly i consider cody the better fighter just in terms of tactics but he doesnt seem emotionally disciplined to stick with him. he just gets amped hurting tj and thinks he can fade the counter. he cant fade the counter.
Cody has serious power but he's incredibly reckless and it's proven to be a recipe for disaster against someone as talented as TJ.Quote:

Cody has a leak that he overloads too much when trying to throw the left hook, leaving his chin out there like a juicy tenderloin. He's had it since his early days.
Thing is, he was doing ok initially when he was throwing kicks and punches, because it forced him to move. But in the end, he's a brawler, and he can't help himself, and TJ eats these kinda guys up. The Assuncao/Cruz types are the ones who give TJ problems, because they are technical enough to make him become the brawler and chase.
TJ is a far more polished fighter than Garbrandt, that first sequence where he tripled up on his counter right is really high level striking. Garbrandt is fast as hell but TJ is the better fighter. TJ is so fucking good, like him or hate him.

I think Garbrandt has his hands full with the top guys in the division, they are are more refined than him. Moraes, Rivera and Assuncao are all favourites over Cody in my opinion.
I agree, although I do believe TJ clearly won the fight vs Assuncao and the Cruz fight was a coin flip. I think TJ plays with Cruz in a rematch. The Moraes vs Dillashaw fight is the one I want to see. Let Rivera and Garbrandt fight to get back into contention.Quote:

I guess what I'm saying is, the whole fight was that first exchange where he put TJ on his ass, then rushed in to mug TJ because lol feelings, and TJ had already recovered enough to surgically push his shit in. From that exchange on, Garbrandt fought like a drunk.
But he didn't do a lot different than every other fight. He drops his left everytime he loads up on his right and follows it with a left hook. TJ caught him with the exact same shot in the first fight. Even in the Cruz fight that Garbrandt dominated watch his left drop, it's sloppy technique. He just happens to be fast enough to get away with it vs most guys, he's even faster than TJ but TJ is far more technical. Cody always sits in the pocket and throws bombs, not just against TJ.Quote:

TJ has looked unbelievable in his career, he's good everywhere and he's ruined guys on incredible runs like Barao and Garbrandt. I don't find TJ likable but he deserves some credit, he's a beast. Wrestles well, very technical standup and can punch as well as kick. Cody is a tough fucker but TJ is a much better fighter.
