Ovince St. Preux though :whatmayne:
You got Rumble and Teixiera and Gustafsson and even Rashad, but you pick Ovince :cubewtfmayne:
I'd rather see Jimi Manuwa against Jones than Ovince :fohmayne:

It's about who wants to step up and fight

Osp did

 

[The Infamous]

Heel Jones

Yea but has he ever put that type of deadline on it?

There's a clear talent divide in the LHW division. You have the top contenders(DC,Gus,Rumble) the gatekeepers(Glover,OSP,Rashad,Bader), and then everyone else. Once he beats those guys, he has no incentive whatsoever to stay at LHW. I mean what would he do, keep rematching the same guys? HW is wide open.

Add in the fact that he's 28 now, AND you got Conor McGregor willing to move up and fight damn near anybody(which matters IMO), and the odds are high he goes to HW.

I'd bet money he moves up within two years.

Yea but there's only one fight at hw for him, the rest are garbage. He's better off doing rematches at 205 unless Dana lets him fight in both divs

Jones haters are so desperate for him to move up to hw when's there's no incentive for him to do so

 

[FaTaL]

Too long but now he wants to get it fixed? He always talks about it

Apparently he won't need surgery so it must be a torn mcl which heals on its own

 

[The ADD]

Heel Jones

I thought be had a back injury/surgery

not too sure breh. there was a point where i would be fully updated on mma but since i moved back to a place where the awareness of mma is largely restricted to kicks and punches and gay grabbing, i haven't been able to find many brehs to watch it with or discuss it. still a big fan, just not as rabidly as before

It's about who wants to step up and fight

Osp did

mark hunt also stepped up
should've booked that fight
hunto with the walk away ko once again

Guess there's no chance of Bones/DC at 200.

Jones w/o a reach advantage aint' spectacular...OSP might pull something off

yea but osp has a terrible ground game

by the way jones has a 4.5 reach advantage

 

[The Infamous]

OSP got taken down by Bader and Glover, Jones is going to rag doll him. Jones is better than OSP in every aspect of MMA.

 

[Kenny West]

OSP will begin to gas late first/early second and will get choked late 2nd/early 3rd

Im still gonna watch tho

 

[The G.O.D II]

Jones w/o a reach advantage aint' spectacular...OSP might pull something off

He still has 4 inch reach adv. and OSP doesn't have the boxing of Gus. Hell OSP doesn't have any advantage here. I will be shocked if this went past the 2nd

Yea I think it might've been false.



If this is true then UFC 200 is still possible.

Get well soon, DC.
