OFFICIAL UFC 135 THREAD: Round by Round; Fight by Fight Discussion

Machida & rashad have the WORST chances against jones......both are very undersized & both LOVE to play the "distance" game...........machida looked small against rampage for goodness sakes........machida also will NOT strike you if he can't counter punch you from the outside......he'll move all night long without throwing a single punch if he can't counter you (thats how he lost against rampage) bones would be hitting him with shots that stretch from across the ring, i don't know what the fuss is about with machida beating jones.......quite frankly it's a bit ret@rted if you think the 2 styles through.

a guy that will beat jones is a smart slugger with & great chin & massive stamina............he'll have to go to heavyweight to get tested.

Silva needs to nail Jones while Jones is still green. In 3 years he will be unstoppable.

Silva can win, but he needs to fight him now.

[WARQUEZ]

Is there any truth to the rumor of Jones-Evans on Dec. 30th on the Lesnar-Overeem card?

[BALLISTIC]

Jones is gonna smash Ortiz' record of 5 defences. What a champion! Humble, confident, world class and no trash talker like Rampage.
If Anderson Silva ever moved up to Light Heavyweight, that would be Bones' only major test, and what a fight that would be!

I would rather see this than silva vs gsp ...this will test both fighter but Jones will have the reach height and strength while silva skills and punching this is a toss up

Silva is not wanting to take risky fights...he's another Floyd/RJJ clone. He won't move up in weight class. He'd get destroyed.

You ent got a choice whu you fight in UFC if yur the champion so he can't be like Floyd lol. Chael Sonnen was Silva's toughest fight, so i think if Chael can't do anything against him when they next square up, then noone will in this division. Unfortunately it looks like the top 3 or 4 divisions in UFC are going to be dominated for many years to come with GSP, Silva, Bones and Maybe Velasquez.
GSP vs Silva would be an interesting fight but i think Silva's weight, height and reach advantage, going with his world class striking, technique, kicking, fainting and everythin will murder GSP(who ruined my ex-fave fighter Dan Hardy's career)!
Bones and Silva would be closer but obviously Jones has Big Height, Weight, Reach and Wrestling advantages so would probably go in his favour still.

Jones is a fucking HW. He will pummel all these LHW's like nothing. But in HW he will get sparked out.

dont hate

Missed the Diaz-Gomi fight last night but just got to watching it now..... and wow, Nate looked impressive. He's gonna be a force at 155.
