re: UFC 128: Shogun vs. Jones

Lesnar has done so well mostly due to his sheer size.
Jones may have a long and successful career ahead because he is the absolute hottest rising star in MMA right now. The man is amazing and has only just begun

I don't know after watching that if Rashad really wants to fight Jones now.

interesting
sherdog seems to list silva as 6'2" 185, and jones at 6'4" 205

How many people root for Rashad in that fight besides his family? 2 or 3 people maybe.

this division is amazing.. i think jones is a bad matchup for rashad. i think machida is the toughest matchup for jones. his unorthodox striking and good take down defense would be the hardest challenge for jones.

I'm going to LOL at Evans thinking he has even a prayer against Jones

Not a huge MMA fan, but I've just never seen anyone fight like Jones.
Obviously he's got some crazy wrestling skills and an unusual build (Taller/lankier rather than stocky).
But what seems to really set him apart is that he's just fearless and so, so creative/unpredictable. How do you prepare for a guy that might at any point throw in a spinning elbow or flying knee?
And you wouldn't even dream of trying to "Neutralize" him being vertical by taking him to the ground.

oh you were talking about the silva fight? if so yea jones is heavier. doubt he is heavier then shogun though at fight time.

I just don't see a lhw who can beat jones right now. No one is athletic as him and no one is as big as him. His wrestling is incredible and his striking is so hard to stop because of that reach.

that kid is a MONSTER.

It's his size he dictates the strikes. He can keep people on the outside until he wants to throw

a lot of people thought the same thing about brock lesnar
jones still has to develop, adjust, and adapt or he'll get passed over too
pretty silly to call him the best fighter ever right now, IMO

thing with lesnar though people always questioned his striking. With jones what questions are there. The only one I can think of is what happens when he finally gets hit

ya i was talking about silva vs jones (size)
Jones is so much taller looking than shogun that i'd be real surprised if he wasn't a bit heavier than him
