It was a very close fight, could've gone either way and I wouldn't have argued. I have seen all of Jones's fights and to me he looked a bit "off" in this fight. Just my opinion, but I think Jones overlooked Gustafsson and he paid for it. Gustafsson came to fight and took it to him. If you have...
I hope this happens! I'm not a Jones fanboy but I see Jones taking it to Silva, and here's why.
Jones literally bulldozed Sonnen, he didn't even attempt to strike with him. In his words, I wanted to prove a point and that was to "Chael Sonnen" Chael Sonnen. Jones went against his bread and...
Jones wins via TKO stoppage in the 1st. You could argue that it was slightly premature but in reality that ref just saved Sonnen from eating a few more elbows and punches.
Jones is here to stay, I don't see anyone beating this kid for a long long time.
I also see it as a bad matchup for Sonnen. Jones is not the sit back and wait type, he's statistically the most aggressive fighter in the UFC and his record backs that up.
Predicting a win for Jones via TKO stoppage by the 3rd.
Thanks for posting the prelims info, I always seem to miss them. Nelson vs Kongo fight is sure to deliver, I wouldn't hesitate to predict it as fight of the night.
In the past, if the main card had any discrepancies (fighter didn't make weight or one of the fighters got injured and someone else stepped in) it was just a 5 round fight non-title. That is how Dana should've handled UFC 151 instead of trying to make it another title fight.
I see you're great at posting videos, how come the 2nd fight wasn't posted? Instead of posting the video, I'll just cut to the point.

Sure, go ahead and give him a shot at the 205 belt. Then after he loses give him a title shot at 225 with Dos Santos and another...
I wholeheartedly agree. The entire event should not have been canceled. The UFC already had big money invested on UFC 151. The money had already been spent. They should have kept it on and tossed the co-main event a bone..or took Jone's pay and divided it amongst the other fighters. I feel bad...
If it makes you feel any better, feel free to link them. Nowhere did I say Jones was a saint. To be honest, I'm a bit upset the fight isn't happening, I'm a Hendo fan and would've been pulling for him.
Jones has had a full camp, that is not the argument. The argument is whether a "fill in"...
Yeah, Jones is a real douche.

Basically, YES!
Jones is the best of the best, he wouldn't have the belt if he wasn't. It's not about anybody wasting anybody's time.
If YOU had spent the last 3 years of your life training your ass off and fighting to get that belt, is it fair that some "fill in" can just step up and...
