Go back and look at most cards with Jones as the champ, garbage. After the last cancelation they had to do better. These are intriguing match-ups which usually the best you can hope for.

Yea, like I get these guys are good fighters and they're competitive but I kind of don't care about them. Like Jim Miller is a beast but I guess I'm still just not a fan of his. There are a lot of these really solid fighters in the UFC but I just don't care about them. I can't really put my finger on it but they don't get me amped to see them fight. The Cheick Kongo vs Roy Nelson fight is probably the most intriguing but I'm still not amped because their fight is kind of meaningless. Neither are contenders.

Besides the Jones/Sonnen, I don't really care about these dudes really. I just wanted to be there on the off chance Sonnen pulls off the upset of the year.

ok for real, wtf kinda dirt does belcher have on dana white cuz this mufukka lose damn near every fight and still get on cards consistently :snoop:.....all the other fights are cool tho

Before his last fight, Belcher was on a 4-fight win streak [all coming by finish]. Also, if it wasn't for his very close loss to Akiyama, he would've been on a 6-fight win streak. Not sure where you got this idea that he 'loses damn every fight'.

A lot of people seem to think Aldo is gonna get run over by Edgar. I like Frankie but Bendo was killing him with leg kicks, and that's Aldo's bread and butter. He lands those consistently, and Frankie will have a long night his best asset is his speed and movement. Take that away he's in trouble.

Edgar is white wrestlers' hero breh. Lot of people have been down on Aldo as of late as well..i dont see Frankie hanging around. His speed will be average at that weight too, lot of people dont realize hes moving down. Dont think he'll be able to get Aldo on his back either

Bellator kicks off their LW tourney tonight, looking forward to seeing how Will Brooks performs

Really looking to the ppv coming up though, Aldo/Edgar is a great main event and I really want to see how Aldo looks after being gone away for so long. Hope he can stay healthy because he is great to watch, no reason why he shouldn't fight at least 3 times this year.

Jones said he wants his first HW fight to be against Overeem.

:laff: O that friend there is brave. So brave. I respect Jons courage but i dont know what he thinks hes saying right there. Jon has never felt a k1 kick before. I dont see him taking reem down, let alone holding him down. Reems chin is suspect but im not sure how Jones power can take advantage of it. Also im not sure how his durability is against those Sagat knees from reem. His effective range is right in Reems Kicking range :whew: Wouu weeee, if he beats him though, his legacy is solidified forever. Jon Jones aka the Pride Killer.
