Dan Didio posted:I think Jones looked ordinary in the OSP fight because of the late notice fight combined with how loving weird OSP is, he was probably still juiced for it. And he still popped within a couple of months of the fight.

On a more pleasant topic, It was great to see Uriah Hall badly lose a fight then suddenly win with one shot again. That's one of the coolest things in the sport.

Zwachro posted:Which is a pretty dumb stance to take against someone with a 14-second KO in her weight class. Absolutely. Like, I don't think Cyborg was exposed as a fighter, but I do think her lack of gameplanning was extremely evident. She's been fighting all of her fights the same way for thirteen years, she and her coaches should've known fighting Nunes the same way she fights everyone else wasn't the best idea, but the very first thing she did was turn Nunes into the fence and bullrush her like she always does, and that was a very, very bad idea.

It was surprising in the staredown to see Cyborg opposite someone the same size and build as her. I think that's a first.

Okay, that's actually pretty funny. I'm honestly surprised quite a lot by how Cyborg is beginning to grow on me after today. Good sportsmanship, humble in defeat, funny post-defeat. It truly is 2018. Wait, gently caress Jon Jones, everything is as it was

in fact she's like the very personification of why PEDs are bad in combat sports, because she spent almost her whole career giving concussions to undersized fighters with her massive weight and strength advantage. at least jones fought world class fighters in his own weight class.

Jon Jones has fought precisely one world class fighter. DC. He's fought one very good fighter. Gus Everyone else is garbage or well well well past their prime by the time he fought them. He can only fight who is infront of him though. LHW sucks.

That was a really fun card. The only time I've been as happy to see someone win as I was when Amanda Nunes won was Michael Bisping beating Luke Rockhold. Zingano getting a toe to the eye looked nasty.

Foul Fowl posted:i get that you don't like jones but this is kinda silly. It's not a knock on Jones, but it's absolutely true that everyone he's fought at LHW would be bad in any other division (besides HW which is also trash) with the skillset they have besides DC and Gus. It might be a bit harsh on Shogun who maybe wasn't past it at that point, but Vitor and Machida were past it when they came across Jones. Jones is just way too good for anyone else in the division and even DC isn't that close to him. He's a prick though. Josuke Higashikata fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Dec 30, 2018 |

Jones is incredibly good. I'm sure it has nothing to do with doing so much steroiding that he has popped 3 times now. I mean can you imagine how many chems you gotta take in a professional camp in order to gently caress up testing 3 times haha nah man i bet its all talent

It might be a bit harsh on Shogun who maybe wasn't past it at that point, but Vitor and Machida were past it when they came across Jones. machida had only lost to shogun at that point. and then he "lost" to rampage and davis before dropping to middleweight, beating up a world class guy, and fought the champion in a close fight. vitor was still in TRT mode, had only lost to anderson since PRIDE closed, and went on to have some of his greatest knockouts. rampage was the only guy jones fought who was past it. you can go through anyone's record with a fine comb like this. but i love that jones being too good for anyone else in the division is a knock against his legacy. he's unequivocally the greatest lhw but he only beat two good fighters? lol

I know that its terrible for selling fights but the childlike joy Nunes has had since winning really makes me smile. Especially since Cyborg took losing like a champ.
