:manny: They could've done worse than Carwin and Roy that fight is gonna be good though both have great chins, and punching power. I was just starting to like Ronda and she goes and says some dumb shyt like this.

I like her as a fighter, but as a person, she comes off wild annoying. She's almost Chael Sonnen level with the outspoken shyt talk schtick.

You can just hear the envy in his voice.

well u can hear something at 1:10 :heh:

and he hinted his mind could change.

Bradys criticism was legit tho, and it aint on the cac tip because (if i aint wrong on who he is) he roots for Jones at times too.

Of course his mind would change, as I said earlier, if the bread was right.

I still don't see the envy though. I could understand if Jones was another fighter who's been in the league as long as Anderson and frustrated he doesn't receive the same accolades, but dude's still early in the sport, I'm sure he knows that Silva's status is something he still has to work for.

He never talks about anderson as a fighter or his legacy he just talks about why he wouldnt take the fight.If you are going to take the fictitious route at least do it with sense :rudy:
If he envied Silva so much rather than idolized him....you think he would....I dunno....call him out?
errr for one why would a dude that many say could make HW play into the fandome and call out a damn near 40 yro MW thats been fighting since 97 :why: thats just not sporty..Secondly hes not going to be calling anyone out again after his mask slipped during the whole rashad incident.Make no mistake this phoney wants to be adored

Whats dumb about what she said tho? Seems like she was asked a random ass question (Which celebrity would she get in the ring with?). Its not like she couldnt wait to say Kim K she only started talking about it only after the lady next to her brought up the Kardashians.

Is everyone suppose to be cool with Kim K being one of the most famous people in this country mostly from making a Sex Tape?:usure:

She gave her opinion and i dont see shyt wrong with her reasoning also. Who would you want ur lil sister to look up to? A Former Olympian or Current Slut Monkey?:yeshrug: (No Stevie J)

Let's be real here though, if Rousey were in the same position she'd be okay with it. :beli: Besides, she can't get mad at Kim cuz first off, her mom's the one pushing her and her sisters since day one, and secondly, she wouldn't keep appearing if the public had no interest in here. Don't hate the player.....Ronda's reply was dripping with envy. I don't buy the moral high horse stuff myself. I'm sure there are many other celebrities who would warrant a beating than some chick who basically got by on her looks by that logic cuz Kim isn't the first, and won't be the last. She just made Kim a target over her popularity and status and nothing more...and we all know how females are competitive in that aspect. As far as lil girls looking up to Kim, that would be more of the parents fault than Kim's.:mjpls: I'm pretty sure that children picking such role models is a result of letting TV raise your children.

People who cant compete anymore using excuses to stay relevant. Sad.

What really pisses me off is the fact that at least Tito came in natty(as far as I know) for his retirement fight....and Forrest still had to have the edge. I doubt Forrest legit needs TRT in the first place. First he stole Tito's shine after the fight, and now this. I pretty much have zero respect for dude at this point. :beli:

Jon Jones said:
It's not that he won't fight me or I won't fight him. To be dead honest, it's that we both have a lot to lose and we both respect each other a lot and we both are striving for personal greatness. I don't want to crack on his greatness and I don't want him cracking on my greatness. We're in completely different weight classes. We both have sponsor deals and things that are really important to us and a big part of that sponsorship package is winning [and] being a champion. Having us fight each other means one of our championships goes away. I respect Anderson Silva so much that I don't want to be the guy to beat him. I don't want to lose to him either. It's a lose-lose situation for me.

Yeah, let's split hairs now. :childplease:

Too bad this discussion has been about whether or not Jones is envious of Silva or not. Quit trying to change the rules now. I claimed that Jones idolizes and respects Silva, and posted an interview backing that, you claimed that Jones envies him, yet speculated from a picture. Who's being fictitious again? :mjpls:

Secondly, I will agree with you on the fact that him facing Silva now wouldn't mean much considering that Anderson's on his way out. ...but again, what's the point of being envious of what Silva has earned? I could understand if he wasn't deserving of his spot, but Jones could be very well on the same path if he keeps it up.

Third, you and I both know that the UFC likes to hype fights up with that WWE rivalry bullshyt, so I take all that stuff with a grain of salt. Besides, his behavior with Rashad is irrelevant with how he gets along with Silva. Aside from your speculation of a picture alone, you have yet to have posted anything backing your statement that Jones envies Silva. :usure: You're just arguing to argue breh. I think Jones receives an awful lot of unwarranted flack IMO...yet another case of "the nail that sticks out the most is hammered down". It's because he's this kid from New York who entered the UFC with little training and has been whooping on the best, of whom have trained and/or fought for a decade if not longer, and that may seem frustrating to elitist MMA fans. I, honestly don't get caught up in all the other personal shyt, I just like to see the fights...but I can't help but notice that people have been reaching like Dhalsim to hate dude. Why can't people just let the boy fight and continue winning, wtf's so wrong with that? :dwillhuh:

Whats the hardest punch Jon Jones ever got hit with in the UFC? Am i mistaken to believe that his talent has left his chin untested?
